I will do my best not to let you down. It brings tears to my eyes to think that might happen. I don’t think he had thought about it in ages, and when I contacted him with the geological data, he commented that I knew good journals to get my data from. Then I gave him a bit more and he went silent He quit listening. That is my problem Nick. People don’t listen long enough to know that I know what I am talking about geologically. It is so frustrating to me to be nearly a solo geologist arguing my discipline in front of people who don’t know my discpline and are not inclined to be charitable enough to listen for a bit.
If you look at my resume, you would see that my employers thought rather highly of my abilites and promoted me to levels of high responsibility. But I was dealing with geoscientists there, Here I deal with laymen and language experts, who, as I point out, took no geology courses, so how could they know? It isn’t their fault.
When he quoted my flood, in the NIV application it was clear he didn’t like it but he did quote the correct timeframe for the flood at that time. If he didn’t like that, he could have cut it out entirely.
He said:
'Scientists have identified a number of different occasions during which massive flooding in the Near East occurred. These include a flooding of the Mediterranean and one of the black Sea. In a theory proposed by Glenn Morton, a variety of geologic data show that until 5.5 million years ago the Mediterranean was not a sea at all. The water was dammed up at Gibraltar. Morton’s evidence suggests a fairly sudden collapse, causing a break of more than 3000 feet deep and fifteen miles wide, filling the Mediterranean Basin in less than nine months.
'As the waters rushed in-easy to account for.

Nick, because it is you, I will put my resume out again. I did it once before because Pevaquark was questioning me like you. This was my career’s last resume and you will note that I ran two different companies for about 5 years, my consulting company and Geos-eyes, which was an invention my partner and I made and we got a decent amount of money off of it.
I do this also so that you will know that I do know what I am speaking of geologically!!!. Trouble is, most geologists have become accommodationalists.
This is not the resume of someone who doesn’t know geoscience–his work field of 47 years. I know how those guys made those maps and the sands are right where the Edenic sands should be at the right time.
It is sad to me that someone like Walton wouldn’t listen very long, and it disappoints me that you would use the judgement of someone who has never taken geology courses (Walton), to assess my value as a geoscientist. But then you have nothing to base your judgement on either so this isn’t your fault either. I want to scream so often because I am nearly the only evolutionary geoscientist who wants a real historical Bible, and I have to convince people who doubt I even know what I am talking about. Sometimes I think I should never have started this search years ago–I was happier back then.
Here is my resume on this list for the 2nd time trying to defend my expertise! As you read this, realize that big oil companies do not give $40 and $50 million dollar responsibilities to know-nothing geologists. Yes, my biggest seismic contract was for $50 million. It was not listed but was when I was manager of the Gulf of Mexico.
