FLOOD GEOLOGY
What are the
implications
here?
Catastrophism
vs.
Uniformitarianism (Gradualism)
“knowing this first: that scoffers
will come in the last days, walking
according to their own lusts, and
saying, ‘Where is the promise of
His coming? For since the
fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the
beginning of creation’…
II Peter 3:3-7
…For this they willfully forget: that by
the word of God the heavens were of
old, and the earth standing out of water
and in the water, by which the world
that then existed perished, being
flooded with water, but the heavens
and earth which are now preserved by
the same word, are reserved for fire
until the day of judgement and perdition
of ungodly men.”
II Peter 3:3-7
“Then the Lord saw that the
wickedness of man was great
in the earth, and that every
intent of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil
continually.…
Genesis 6:5-7
… And the Lord was sorry that
He had made man on the
earth, and he was grieved in
His heart. So the Lord said, ‘I
will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the
earth, both man and beast’…”
Genesis 6:5-7
The Grand Scale of the
Cataclysm
The fountains of the deep and
the windows of heaven were
also stopped, and the rain from
heaven was restrained.
Gen. 8:2
Three components of the cataclysm
1. The fountains of
the deep
2. The windows of
heaven
3. The rain from
heaven
Where did the water come from
and where did it go?
Dinosaur Valley State Park, TX
You covered it with the deep 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 may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.
Psalm 107:6-9

• favored family,
• survival by a boat,
• animals saved,
• flood was global,
• they were forewarned and
• the people had become wicked.

• Mt. 24:38-39 For as in the days
before the flood, they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noah
entered the ark, and did not know
until the flood came and took them
all away, so also will the coming of
the Son of Man be.

Creature #1
• Job 41:22-34 "In his neck lodges strength and dismay leaps before him. The folds of his flesh are joined together, firm on him and immovable. His heart is as hard as a stone, even as hard as a lower millstone. When he raises himself up, (not the mighty fear; because of the crashing they are bewildered. The sword that reaches him cannot avail, nor the spear, the dart or the javelin. He regards iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned into stubble for him. Clubs are regarded as stubble; he laughs at the rattling of the javelin. His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads out like a threshing sledge on the mire. He makes the depths boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment. Behind him he makes a wake to shine; one would think the deep to be gray-haired. (not elephant, not giraffe) Nothing on earth is like him, one made without fear. He looks on everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride."
• Creature #2
• Job 40:15-24 Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. "Behold now, his strength in his loins and his power in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God; let his maker bring near his sword. Surely the mountains bring him food, and all the beasts of the field play there. Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reeds and the marsh. The lotus plants cover him with shade; The willows of the brook surround him. If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth. Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, with barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
Summary
• Intelligent design and irreducible complexity
• The fossil record
-transitional fossils
-contemporaneous fossils
-abrupt appearances
• Scientific laws – therm, biogenesis, prob, genetics
• No sufficient mechanism for evolution
• catastrophic rock record
• time clocks
• different paradigm – alternate interpretations
