10. Was there a global Flood as the Bible states
?
“I am convinced there is
far more evidence for a recent, six-day creation and a
global Flood than there is for an old earth and evolution.”
(Dr Keith Wanser, creationist
scientist, Professor of Physics at California State University,
1999 [26]
)
“Fossils of marine life …
are found above 8,000 metres in this area. They bear out
the theory that the Himalayas were once submerged … The
layers of limestone that now cover all of Mt Everest above
8,000 metres were once under water.”
(Kyuya Fukada, Japanese
author, Himalayas, 1986
[27] )
“Marine fossils are found
high up in mountains in the Alps, often deposited with
great violence (as suggested by the Jurassic marine fossils
at lower altitude on the North East coast of Yorkshire
near Whitby). The burial of large dinosaurs, by their
thousands in Alberta and Montana, South Dakota, Kansas
and Colorado with vast continental sedimentation (in some
places thousands of feet thick) would not be possible
without causing gigantic upheaval in other parts of the
earth. … The scale, depth and the sheer number of fossils
argues strongly that these must be part of the [global
Biblical] Flood.”
(Dr Andy McIntosh, Tom
Edmondson and Dr Steven Taylor, creationist scientists,
2000 [28]
)
“It is ironic that no geologist
denies that the oceans once covered the land, since rocks
containing marine fossils may be found at elevations above
sea level anywhere from 1 to 5 miles (1.6 to 8 kilometres).
That the ocean waters should have covered the land is
exactly what one would expect to happen during a global
Flood, while earth movements concurrent with the retreating
Flood waters would be expected to leave strata with marine
fossils now perched high and dry at considerable elevations,
just as we observe.”
(Dr Andrew Snelling, geologist
and creationist scientist, 1996 [29] )
