Uniformitarianism: people unwilling to
recognize the presence and existence of a powerful Creator. The Flood According to the Bible, a huge flood occurred that resulted in water covering the entire surface of the planet. Genesis 6:5-8 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the groundfor I regret that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Humankind was becoming increasingly corrupt and wicked; the Lord regretted creating humans. The Lord planned the flood to remove the human race from the world. But Noah was a godly man and God decided to save people through preserving Noah and his family. Noahs Ark God commanded Noah to build a boat (ark) and save 2 of every animal in the world so that life could continue after the flood. http://arkofnoah.org/tour-the-ark/
How long was Noah and his family on
the ark? Impact of the Flood The flood had devastating effects on everything in the world. Life of all sorts was gone humans, plants and animals. The landscape shifted as soil and rocks were washed away and deposited in other areas. Impacts of the Flood The additional moisture in the air superheated the atmosphere, creating more clouds and humidity. This would have blocked out the sun, leading to the cooling of the atmosphere and an eventual ice age. Impacts of the Flood The surface of the earth would have become softened, which would lead to: sedimentary layers as the flood waters receded Rocks being folded and remolded Tectonic plate shifts and continental drift
Eventually, the surface of the planet would re-harden to
what we see today. Mount St. Helens https://answersingenesis.org/media/vide o/science This demonstrates how major events can quickly and dramatically impact the Earths surface. Activity 2.1
