out of blue
out of dust
out of nothing
out of touch
Which of the following is NOT one of the four (4) features of the earth that are evidence of a world-wide flood:
Fossils found in many layers of sedimentary rock all over the earth, even on the tops of mountains, in deserts, and even Antarctica.
Water and mountains are still found all over the earth.
There are large oil and coal deposits.
We can still see evidence of in the glaciers remaining from the ice age the followed the global flood.
Strata, which are many layers of different rock stacked on top of each other, which we see evidence of today.

cool and wet
warm and tropical
desert like
rainy
Creationists believe that all the sudden changes to the earth’s climate from the global flood resulted in
an ice age
a stone age
volcanic activity
There is evidence that the Ice Age covered _______% of the earth, including northern Europe, all of Canada, much of the northern US and parts of new Zealand.
10%

10o-20o
20o-40o
30o-40o
Why do creation scientists believe that the air temperature was cooler after the flood?
Because all the volcanic ash released into the atmosphere blocking some of the sunlight.
The tilt of the earth didn't allow the sun to provide enough warmth.
