Global Flood

What would we expect from Genesis’ world-destroying flood? Countless creatures would be buried, leaving their fossils strewn across the earth. Sediment layers might extend beyond any river’s reach and lie stacked flatly in many places. All of this lies beneath our very feet.

  • How would plate tectonics relate to a Genesis Flood?

  • Can a Flood model explain the order of fossils from bottom to top?

  • Where did cultures around the world get such similar flood legends?

  • How did billions of fossils form on every continent but almost no fossils form today?

Global Stratigraphy Supports a Progressive Worldwide Flood

Is there geological evidence for a global flood? Is there evidence that the waters rose and peaked on Day 150 as recorded in Genesis 8? And at what level in the geologic record did it peak? ICR’s current geological research team has made one of the first attempts to map the true extent of the sedimentary rocks across all of the continents and provide answers to these questions.

Why Does Nearly Every Culture Have a Tradition of a Global Flood?

One of the strongest evidences for the global flood which annihilated all people on Earth except for Noah and his family, has been the ubiquitous presence of flood legends in the folklore of people groups from around the world. And the stories are all so similar. Local geography and cultural aspects may be present but they all seem to be telling the same story.

Great Unconformity Best Solved by Global Flood

The Great Unconformity is one of the most baffling mysteries in the geological sciences. It is marked by a massive surface of erosion that appears all over the world at about the same time. Many studies have tried and failed to satisfactorily explain its global occurrence. Now a new report published in Geology claims to take a step forward in solving this mystery.

Flood Catastrophic Plate Tectonics and Earth History

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.

Why Christians Should Believe in a Global Flood

The Biblical Flood in the days of Noah has become a great divide between two watersheds of belief. On the one hand there are those who say it is either a purely mythological event or else possibly a local or regional flood. This group includes practically all evolutionists, but it also includes the "old-earth creationists."
