New evidence says Noah's great flood actually happened

The archaeologist who discovered the Titanic on the ocean floor says he's now found evidence that "the mother of all floods" — known in the Bible from the story of Noah's ark — actually happened. Robert Ballard says he now supports a theory floated by two Columbia University scientists, which holds that the Black Sea was once a freshwater lake overrun thousands of years ago "by an enormous wall of water from the rising Mediterranean Sea." Ballard found evidence of that inundation 400 feet below the surface of the modern-day Black Sea — an ancient shoreline. He now believes the "great flood" may have taken place in 5,000 B.C.E.
