What rock have you been living under not to be aware of all the evidence demonstrating a global flood? Are you aware that during the last ice sage, the ice sheet above Kansas was a mile thick? What do you suppose happened to all that water?
BroJoeK has a lot invested in his anti-Moses ideology. He is like the Biblical Pharisee, who can see, but doesn't want to see.
Most creation scientists believe the (only) Ice Age was the result of the overheating of the ocean water due to the world-wide tectonic movements during the flood -- the movements that gave us our current continental landscape. The atmosphere was also loaded with vapor from the fountains of the great deep being opened for about six months.
Remember, the Himalayas were, at one time, a plain covered with sea water. We know that because of the marine fossils found in sedimentary rock layers on top of Mt. Everest. No reasonable geologist disputes that, even the anti-Moses secularists.
The Himalaya mountain range rose while the sediment was still pliable, leaving folded rather than broken sedimentary layering. The same for mountain ranges world-wide. Most mountain ranges look something like this, up close:
Those mountains are covered with folded, sedimentary rock layers. That would be a pretty neat trick under uniformitarian (gradualism) principles; but it makes perfect sense under flood conditions, followed by rapid plate tectonic movements.
This is the sequence of flood events that God gave us, in a nutshell.
"He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever. You covered [the earth] with the deep [water] as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away. The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them. You set a boundary that they [the waters] may not pass over, So that they [the waters] will not return to cover the earth." -- Ps 104:5-9 NASB
The last verse is God's covenant with Noah:
"And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh." -- Gen 9:15 KJV
Neat, huh?
