Geologic research continues to play a significant role at the Institute for Creation Research, as it has since its founding. Recognizing that the great Flood of Noah's day accomplished significant geologic work opened the door to groundbreaking research. This insight provided solutions to many plaguing difficulties in creation thinking, and continues to inform it today.

"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" (John 14:5)

Few biblical teachings are as controversial among evangelicals as that of the global nature of Noah's Flood. If Scripture is our guide, however, it could not have been just a local flood covering the Mesopotamian River Valley, as taught by most leading evangelicals today, but must have been worldwide in extent and effect.

The more we study about the great Flood of Noah's Day, the more we realize it was a time of vast tectonic change on earth.

The National Creation Science Foundation (NCSF) has received several fine proposals for NCSF grant-supported research, and many of these proposals have already been funded. One such proposal was submitted by Cornelius Van Wingerden and Roger Sigler, both graduates in geology from the ICR Graduate School.
