The Great Unconformity is one of the most baffling mysteries in the geological sciences.¹ 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.

ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert* recently made a guest appearance on Good Heavens! A Podcast About the Universe with Wayne and Dan. Dr. Hebert presented his perspective on climate science, its relevance to the history of Genesis, and the importance of correctly interpreting geology and environmental science.

“Creation stands or falls on the Genesis Flood,” stated a creation geologist years ago. The fact of the Flood covering all the earth is undeniable. As described in Genesis 7,

In the past 15 years, it’s been determined that a vast ocean once covered the western Amazon drainage basin.¹ However, studies of the Miocene fossils reveal a conflicting story.¹ Fossils are found representing both fresh water and salt water environments in the same layers, leaving evolutionary scientists befuddled. How did these fossils get mixed together?

A recent study has found that the destruction of plants preceded the destruction of many forms of animal life in the rock record.¹ This is exactly what was predicted in ICR’s Flood model.²
