The Flood, Catastrophic Plate Tectonics, and Earth History
by Jake Hebert, Ph.D. *
Evidence for Creation
Although evolutionary scientists insist there is no evidence for the global, Earth-destroying Flood described in Genesis, accepting the Genesis Flood as literal history enables researchers to make sense of a wide array of geological, climatic, and cultural data.
Fossils in Water-Deposited Rocks
Most of Earth’s land surface is covered with sedimentary rocks or sediments, which are formed when pre-existing rock material is weathered. The resulting sediment is then transported to another location by water, wind, or glacial action. Even secular geologists acknowledge that nearly all the world’s sedimentary rocks are water-deposited, although they would deny that these rocks were the result of the Genesis Flood.1 Furthermore, some of the sedimentary rocks that secular geologists attribute to wind action are better explained as resulting from water currents.2

From the article:
“The Ice Age
The Genesis Flood also provides a straightforward explanation for the Ice Age. The heat generated by the rapid formation of a completely new seafloor during the Flood would have significantly warmed the world’s oceans, dramatically increasing global evaporation. This would have put far more moisture into the atmosphere than we see today, resulting in greatly enhanced snowfall at high latitudes and on mountaintops. Late-Flood and residual post-Flood volcanic activity would have put great amounts of light-reflecting aerosols into the stratosphere, resulting in cooler summers that would have allowed thick ice sheets to persist and grow over hundreds of years. As the oceans cooled and volcanic activity diminished, the Ice Age would have gradually come to an end.16 In contrast, the currently popular secular ice age theory has serious problems.17
Conclusion
Accepting the Genesis Flood as literal history enables researchers to make sense of a huge array of data. Although creation scientists are still working to resolve unanswered questions, the creation-Flood model is much more robust and has much more explanatory power than secular Earth history stories. Skeptics “willfully are ignorant of” (2 Peter 3:5) the reality of the Genesis Flood—not because of a lack of evidence but because of an unwillingness to acknowledge God’s Lordship over their lives.”
No icr stuff for me today, thanks.
Center for Creative Research is always good for a laugh.

Amen
Not me. I submit that they were formed in situ during the Creation.

Nonsense. The “Genesis Flood” of Morris and his fellows has NOTHING to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and believers like you who want to bind this NONSENSE on other Christians are acting in plain contravention of Scripture.
The flood is the logical explanation of why we are here on a planet in a solar system which has been formed out of nothing other than building blocks which seem to be “created” . The “smart” people of this world can not come up with a better explanation.
Which ice age? There are have been multiple ice age periods. After each one, the water melts, and goes somewhere. After the last one (13,000 years ago more or less) the water rose roughly 300 ft. It hasn’t gone down since then (we are in a pause waiting for the next ice age).

Utter horsecrap. Ever hear of dune-deposited sandstones? Just for starters?
Making Christians look like unsophisticated medieval peasants who are unable to process/accept anything not specifically explained away in a scary bible story, one bs article at a time.
Right. The smart people dismiss Scripture. It’s all fake news, written by ignorant peasants.
Me too! Dr. Walt Brown`s theories backed up with proven facts makes Noah`s flood understandable.
Enjoyed that also.
