Creationists have long speculated about the earth’s environment prior to the global Flood—conditions which may have contributed to the long human life spans recorded in the Biblical record of Genesis. Specifically, it has been hypothesized by some that the pre-Flood earth atmosphere had higher levels of oxygen and a greater atmospheric pressure than we currently observe.

Scientists have identified a large slab of cold oceanic lithosphere¹ dipping far beneath China.² The newly imaged plate is presumably a leftover piece of ocean that was consumed as the Indian subcontinent collided with Asia, forming the Himalayan Mountains.

Scientists from the University of Bath have found that dinosaurs were thriving up to the end of the Cretaceous.¹ This discovery conflicts with earlier claims that dinosaurs were declining in number towards the top of the Cretaceous System.¹ However, these findings fit the predictions from a global Flood scenario.

Scientists from the Lamont-Doherty Observatory discovered an enormous ancient lakebed beneath the ice on Greenland.¹ Although scientists have found other lakes beneath the ice in Greenland and Antarctica, this was the first dry lakebed found below the ice.² The new discovery came as a surprise to secular scientists, but it fits perfectly into the Flood narrative.

A new species of duck-billed dinosaur, Ajnabia odysseus, was recently unearthed in North Africa.¹ This is the first hadrosaur-type dinosaur ever discovered on the continent of Africa, and it creates a conundrum for evolutionary scientists because its location doesn’t fit their narrative.
