A. Predictions of a global flood
1. Rock and fossil deposition
2. Interpreting the rocks and fossils
a. To a large extent, assumptions dictate interpretations and convictions
b. Darwin's assumptions at Santa Cruz led to his extrapolation in biology

Darwin's Experience on the Santa Cruz River (Sidebar 1)

B. History of the Biblical flood—physical processes (Gensis 7:11,12)
1. Fountains of the great deep broke open (earthquakes, tsunami)
2. Windows of heaven opened
3. Rained 40 days and 40 nights
C. Questions about the Flood
1. How was sufficient water to cause a global flood that covered the mountains?
a. The oceans cover over 2/3 of the globe. The oceans are deeper than the continents are high. The highest mountain is less than half as high as the deepest ocean is deep. There is plenty of water to cover the globe.
b. The modern mountains were not the ones that had to be covered by the flood. Mountains were probably not as high then. The flood laid down today's mountains. All major mountain chains are sedimentary rock that has been raised up.
2. Where did the water go?
Into oceans—made deeper and wider
a. Continents may have split apart
b. Lighter continent rock rose in relation to denser oceanic rock.
(Isostasy—forces elevating land masses balance the forces depressing land masses.)
