A UK researcher has proposed that fluctuating sea levels several thousand years ago may have displaced Middle Easterners living on land now beneath the Indian Ocean, their settlements flooded by the rising waters of the Persian Gulf basin.¹ Knowing the causes of post-Ice Age sea level changes would be a nice addition to this "startling new theory," and creation research has been prov

Canadian scientists have found a massive dinosaur fossil graveyard in Alberta containing so many bones that it calls into question the standard stories of slow and gradual dinosaur fossil formation. No mere river flood could account for so many casualties. So, the researchers proposed that the cause was something much more violent.

In the summer of 2002, record rainfall in the Texas Hill Country overfilled Canyon Lake. Water coursed over the top of its dam and carved huge, steep-walled canyons through the limestone bedrock downstream. The scoured riverbed, now called Canyon Lake Gorge, is over a mile long and has been cordoned off for scientific study.

Earth's surface shows features that clearly testify to some kind of catastrophic event, or series of events, that operated on a vastly larger scale than today's geologic processes. Whatever happened had a devastating impact on living creatures large and small, terrestrial and marine.
