Preview of Handout: Wording of this Handout:Forty days of rainThe common and misguided view of the great flood is that it simply rained. First there were some black storm clouds, then a few heavy drops of train, then down it came! Like a monsoon in India. But that is not how the Bible describes it. For a start, the world before the great flood was very different. The land was lower, with rolling hills, and there were no soaring mountains, like the Southern Alps, or the Himalayas. All the mountain chains we have today were pushed up AFTER the great flood. The north and south pole were not frozen wastelands before the great flood, and the whole world was warm and beautiful, with everything growing well. It was only AFTER the great flood that the huge deserts, polar caps and savannahs began to form. When the great flood began, water fell from the sky, and water gushed up from under the ground. There was an enormous amount of water - not just a heavy downpour. The land was quickly covered and the ark was swept here and there by the enormous swells and eddies as oceans boiled and surged everywhere. Millions of trees were uprooted, forming vast rafts of wood, which slowly soaked up the water and sank to the ocean floor, forming the coal deposits we now burn for fuel. Plants and animals - billions of them - were carried here and there, dropping to the depths and being covered by mud and silt - to form fossils and the ingredients for today's oil supplies. It was a flood so enormous no human could have survived unless they were in a boat such as the one Noah built. The Bible says ". . . all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Genesis 7:11 (New King James Version) |
