Transcript

Did you know when you look at the world, you aren’t looking at how God made the earth originally? First creation was marred by sin, then the Bible tells us the flood destroyed the world of that day. What we have today is very different to that original creation.

Miles of rock layers, billions of fossils, mountain ranges, ocean trenches, volcanos, earthquakes, deserts, glaciers, canyons, and even the shape of the continents, are all the result of the flood and its after-effects. Without the global flood, one can’t explain many of the features of our planet. It’s the flood that provides the perfect mechanism to powerfully shape our world.
