Of course, some would ask if many of the stories in the Bible are more fiction than fact...

I'm jus' sayin...

			<EM>The ancient flood that some scientists think gave rise to the Noah story may not have been quite so biblical in proportion, a new study says.</EM>

That flood turned the lake into a rapidly rising sea.

A previous theory said the Black Sea rose up to 195 feet (60 meters), possibly burying villages and spawning the tale of Noah's flood and other inundation folklore.

But the new study - largely focused on relatively undisturbed underwater fossils - suggests a rise of no more than 30 feet (10 meters).
