Far out on the continental shelf below hundreds of feet of water are very large canyons. How did they get there? Perhaps the ocean level was much lower in the past allowing canyon carving offshore. This fits nicely with the Biblical Flood. During the Flood, the whole earth was covered by water. According to Psalm 104 (NAS), the mountains rose up and the valleys sank down. Water filled the oceanic trenches to a great depth lowering the global sea level. Other large bodies...
Read MoreOld Mountains – Young Mountains
How do young earth, Flood geologists explain different age mountain ranges? ANSWER: Because of the violent nature of the Flood waters, mountains that existed before the Flood or that raised up during the early part of the Flood would have been planed off leaving what appears now to be an ancient mountain range. Those mountains rising during later stages of the Flood would have been greatly eroded, but not totally planed off. They would appear today to be mid-age mountains....

Boulders in Coal Layers It has been generally thought that multiple layers of coal found in the eastern US came as the result of trees rotting in swamps over millions of years. In the midst of some of the richest layers of coal, large boulders of totally different rock are also found. Boulders do not grow in swamps, so it seems the trees that formed the coal were ripped up and floated in from a great distance. Perhaps on high seas during the Flood, trees rubbed against each...
Read MoreFossil Butte
Perfectly preserved fossilized fish found in the layers at the Fossil Butte National Monument indicate rapid burial of creatures rather than slow burial over millions of years. Fish are preserved without a fin out of place. The burial was so fast that one fish was trapped in the sediment while trying to eat his lunch. It had another fish in its mouth. Another fish was found squashed flat from top to bottom in swimming position as it tried to escape the weight of sediment on...
Read MoreSplit Mountain
Split Mountain in the Anza Borego Desert in southern California is a monument to catastrophic flood geology. An earthquake split the 600 foot mountain ridge open and revealed it was composed chiefly of large, water-worn, boulders up to the size of a large dump truck. This pile of boulders would not have accumulated slowly and gradually over millions of years- since large boulders like that take a major, high velocity current to move. Layer after layer of these boulders...
Read MoreFormation of Coral Reefs
It has been argued that ancient petrified coral reefs, such as El Capitan Reef in New Mexico, would have taken a tremendous time to have formed -proving that the earth is very old. This could be a valid point; assuming corals grew in the past at the same rate as it does today (which is doubtful) and assuming El Capitan corals grew in situ (i.e. in place). Research has shown that El Capitan is not an ancient coral reef of in situ coral. Instead it is a mound of broken pieces...
