This is Ken Ham, author, speaker, and blogger on the Bible’s reliability and authority.
The world destroyed by the global flood of Noah’s day was very different from today. Here’s just one example: in the pre-flood world, there were towering stromatolite mounds built from algae and sediments washed in by tides. In today’s world, much smaller mounds still exist in a few places. These stromatolites are identical to ones in the past, just smaller. Why?
The fountains of the great deep broke apart and this forever changed the pre-flood ocean environment. The new conditions made it hard for stromatolites to grow like they did before. These algae mounds are a reminder of the flood and a world lost because of sin.
