Hey, gotta question for you.

What's it like living three days in the past? :)

Well, years ago is when I dumped CW mag.

Living in the past? Ah. by Jethro Tull:

Actually living in the past isn't bad. you get to observe others idiot
decisions today, you make sure you don't make them today, er,
tomorrow, uh...yesterday.

it works pretty good.

Yes, but the original hypothesis was quickly falsified,

replaced it with a revised version that has
nothing special happening to Black Sea level
at the time of the supposed deluge in the original version.

CATASTROPHIC FLOODING OF THE BLACK SEA
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences
Vol. 31: 525-554 (Volume publication date May 2003)
(doi:10.1146/annurev.earth.31.100901.141249)

In there you'll find this (note that the dates given are
apparently uncalibrated radiocarbon years, the
"7.14 ky BP" having been calibrated to
about 7550 years ago elsewhere):

"
Criticisms of Catastrophic Flooding
The hypothesis of a rapid terminal flooding of the Black Sea
has been criticized
(Aksu et al. 2002a, b, G?r?r et al. 2001).
The initial objection (G?r?r et al. 2001) noted the presence
of 8.1-ky BP peat and 7.2-ky BP wood associated with
brackish fauna (Dreissena polymorpha and Monodacna caspia)
in cores from the Sakarya River and adjacent shelf.
Deposits with these components at a depth of -22 m
conflicted with a lake d[r]owned at 7.14 ky BP as originally
proposed.
However, a recognition from the strontium isotopes that
the salinization was initiated earlier at 8.4 ky BP
and that
the 7.14 ky BP [event] only reflected a threshold in salinity
resolves the apparent conflict.
"
So, Ryan now thinks that their only evidence of a
catastrophic flood was really evidence that the water
got saltier, several dozens of metres below
a stable surface level.

Here's a diagram from elsewhere showing the situation,
in which (at long last)
enough salty water had infiltrated
along the floor of the Bosphorus
down to the bottom of the Black Sea that
the top of the lower salty layer
rose up to the Continental shelf,
where marine mollusks could finally
colonise the sea bed after about 7600 years ago:

"
Figure 2. According to the international research team,
the observed change from freshwater mollusc to marine mollusc
on the Black Sea shelf was not due to a sudden filling with
Mediterranean water. Rather, the level of the Black Sea
remained constant and the change was because the interface
between the fresh surface water and the salty deep water
rose above shelf level.
"
A few refutational abstracts are quoted here, by
one who would have liked to have seen some proof of
a real Noachian flood event:

You might also look at this thread in
sci.archaeology :
Controversy over the great flood hypotheses in the Black Sea in light
of geological, paleontological, and archaeological evidence

Here's a link to it that might work:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.a...rm/thread/d736...

OR

There's a big book on the Black Sea that has recently
been published, edited by Valentina Yanko-Hombach
and others, but it does not discuss Ryan's and Pitman's
first version of a flood hypothesis, except to dismiss it.

No serious professional person is seriously discussing
the original Black Sea Floode (Mk. I) hypothesis anymore.
Is that enough, or would you like more info?

I'm sorry; I'm not "up" on the "lingo" you kids use "nowadays"
Do you think you might put that into words that an old fart might
