Q: Which is preferred, the local or the global flood theory for the Genesis flood?

Question:

I would like to hear your thoughts in regards to the matter of Noah's Flood. In the past, I embraced the idea that the Flood was a global event and that the local flood view was unbiblical. However, after reading some articles by various Christians, I've come to approve of the local flood view. From what I have read on your website, it seems that you hold to the global flood view but don't see the local flood view as heretical. However, you seems to have issues with the local flood view, which I understand.  I have decided to send a link to an article that deals with the issue of Noah's flood as I think you will find it quite interesting. It is by James Rochford on his website: http://www.evidenceunseen.com. In his article, he examines the global and local flood viewpoints. He argues that the global flood view is unbiblical. He cites Psalm 104:9, and relies on the meaning of certain Hebrew words, and utilizes various evidences to support his view. What are your thoughts on the claims of these articles?

Salt: Part 2 of 2

Don’t people complain about unsalted food?
   
Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?

My appetite disappears when I look at it;
   
I gag at the thought of eating it!
