Why is fused glass found in profusion beneath the sands of Iraqi plains? Why are radioactive tektites and isotopes found all over the Dead Sea basin and at the very location posited for the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? (m. tsarion)

with regard to the Mahabharata you seem to gloss over the fact it was written well before anyone apparently knew about atomic energy. Its a pretty clear description of an nuclear explosion.
I'll add that to my LoonyBin favourites. It's like reading some cult literature, he's an idiot and a liar (Carl Sagan said that we'd been visited by aliens 5,000 times - did he bollocks
link). So if he lied there he probably lies all the way through his thesis - but you won't check his sources because you 'Want to believe'.
I see he essentially wants to replace religion and science - what with?
Assumptions and speculation it seems.
'The fear some of us have of the sea, arises from our race-memory of this historically recent Deluge.' - okay then, if it's a 'race-memory' why don't all of us fear the sea? Logically of course it's wise to treat the ocean with respect - it'll drown you quite easily.
'Thanks to Allan and Delair, Milton and Cremo, and a few other revisionist researchers, we can ring the deathnell of the "Uniformitarian" paradigms of Lyell, Agassiz, Giekie and Darwin'
- I'm afraid I can't find any of those paradigm 'destroyers' in Wikipedia - why is that then?
Evolution was the world shattering paradigm - it completely changed our outlook almost overnight, it changed the nature of the way people thought about history, theology and science. And it was very nearly repressed.
So with respect, fuck you and your alien shit and accept that there are much more inventive and intelligent humans than you.
As to the fused glass - I think that's been answered - lightning (which can reach temperatures of 30,000 deg F - hotter than the sun) and/or lava - which is usually made up of mostly silica - glass...
