   I think some folk got Bob to say more than he intended - or just incorrectly   
   attributed statements to him.   
      
   But he did come up with evidence of a monumental (dare I say biblical) flood   
   at around the right time 7000-8000 years ago. The TV coverage I've seen, has   
   BB specifically saying that this does NOT in any way prove Genesis or the   
   idea tha Noah existed, or that this was even the Noah flood. But now, not   
   only is there a sound scientific theory for how a "biblical'" flood COULD   
   have occured, we (appear to) have an actual example......cool !
