Transcript

Secular scientists tell us that the ice cores show tens of thousands of years of Earth’s history. They assume millions of years and that the slow, gradual processes of the present have produced the ice layers. But they can’t know this because, well, they weren’t there.

But the eyewitness account of history in the Bible gives us a different perspective. We know there was a global flood just a few thousand years ago. This flood brought about an ice age which was responsible for laying down a large part of today’s ice cores in a very short amount of time. The ice cores—they are not tens of thousands of years old at all!
