Here is another place where science confirms the flood.
Science shows that something very drastic happened between 3 and 8 thousand years ago. I believe that it is Noah’s flood that is displayed again and again by science.
Missippi Delta started forming in that time frame.
Niagra Falls began receeding in that time frame.
The oldest trees began growing within those boundaries.
The earliest recorded human history is within those limits.
Topsoil (average 8 inches) began then.
Many of earth’s deserts began forming at that time.
Most of the sediments in the ocean started between 4k and 8k years ago.
Dinosaur fossils in the artic died in that time frame (according to the presence of what was found in the bones.)
Human population began back in that time. (according to the average population growth stats.)
and on Science goes proving something very drastic began not long in the past.
The world is chock full of evidence pointing to world wide deluge as written in the biblical texts. Like current liberals of all stripes, however, science is loathe even to consider the obvious.
I share your faith, but not your timeline. Study some geology, please.
“Many of the earth's deserts began forming at that time?” Well, wow! Hate to rain on your parade, but deserts are always beginning to forming somewhere on the planet, as well as marsh lands, glaciers, mountain ranges, etc. That's why it's called climate change: because the climate is constantly changing. Forest today, desert tomorrow. Coastline/shoreline today, Mountain peaks tomorrow.
Quick question: What is the world's largest desert? (Answer at the bottom of this post.)
FYI...Niagara Falls has been receding for millions of years;
FYI...Topsoil is always being deposited somewhere in the world;
FYI...THERE ARE NO DINOSAUR FOSSILS THAT DATE EARLIER THAN 65 MILLION YEARS AGO. (I know this because I have a Geology Degree);
FYI...Sediments are always being deposited on the ocean floor. It's a continuous process and dates back to the formation of the oceans;
FYI...The world's oldest tree is 9,550 years old (Norway);
I could go on, but I think you get my point.
I'm glad you have faith in God, as do most of us do, but please stop proselytizing. Opinions are not scientific fact.
Answer: Antarctica (A “desert” is defined by low annual average rainfall, not temperature or the amount of sand.)
Catastrophicism explains.
Gradualism obscures.
