I've always considered myself scientifically- minded. As I have moved from atheism, to agnosticism, to knowing Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead, I am realizing that I was just brainwashed. Thank you God for Is Genesis History?, Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter among others for answering my objections, reconciling scientific "contradictions" to God's Word, and opening my eyes and my heart.
God is good! Yes, thank God that He raises up scientists to help us understand the creation and history of our young earth. He strengthens and stirs up our faith and helps solidify for us the importance of correct beliefs.
You could even have a faith in Jesus as messiah and yet lose it due to lacking the foundation of Genesis. This is my story exactly. I had faith in Jesus as a child but once I was confronted with endless evolutionary theory, millions of years, existence without purpose, etc. I lost my faith. After all, how can you believe in the historicity of Jesus and His saving power if He gave validation to the entirety of the scriptures and Genesis turned out to be fables? You can’t maintain faith if you become convinced that God, at best, got wrong His own creation story. That said, The Holy Spirit convicted me after decades of living in the wilderness and consuming the waters that cannot quench thirst. Memories of scriptures such as Jeremiah 29:13, James 1:5, and Isaiah 40:22 came to me. I began searching for evidence backing Genesis and I quickly found strong scientific support for Noah’s Flood and YEC. I devoured the material and I found myself on my knees pouring out my heart to Yeshua and giving thanks to Him. Now that my foundation is on the solid rock of The Ancient of Days instead of sand…and the lies and half truths taught and accepted as fact by the world are exposed for the hollow soul-destroying and God-hating religion that they are…I have true peace again and I am in prayer and in Bible study often. And I am witnessing to those who reside in the wilderness of Evolution and existence as chance. Those who are walking the wide path to destruction and separation from God. Material like this is so extremely important. So extremely important….
I like this guy because he has researched in the very same areas where my “biblical mind” asks questions and wants to know. There is so much light yet to be revealed on this! Thank you Dr. Wise! - Matt Mahan
It God created the earth without form and void , how did it become a matter filled sphere? And why does Jesus repeatedly aver that the heaven and earth will pass away, if they are not transitory, ephemeral and illusory? God,Genesis One's Deity is an eternal Spirit Who created and made All Things after His and His Co-creators Likeness, that is to say that Of Him, and through Him, and to Him Are All Things to Whom Be Glory for ever, then pray tell , who "formed" a physical, tangible, temporal, visible, transitory, corruptible, and destructible, matter-strewn aeroaquaterrous globe inhabited by mortal men and beasts who "live" by killing and eating each other? We humans slaughter 80 billion land animals annually for meat consumption! That's not counting the catch from the seas. What ever happened to "Thou shalt not kill"? What's wrong with Genesis One's fruit 🍑 nuts and berries and herb for our "meat". Have you never read Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 and taken It to Heart ❤️? Nevertheless We love and forgive All people everywhere!
When The Fat Lady Sings History is just a Hollywood flick...A Looney-tunes cartoon! Time is but an illusory trick, And the spherical earth 🌎, a hot-air balloon; Atheistic scientists, modern evolutionists, Are trying to "see" that Everything is nothing, And the religious scientists, Creationists, Are trying to "see " that nothing is Everything; But when the gas is let out of this blown-up balloon, They'll both be astounded at What the Truth will bring, When they see the Light That's brighter than the sun at Noon, And We all join the Choir and help The Fat Lady sing! (The Fat Lady is Mary at 9 mos. after the Immaculate Conception. Her Song is JESUS the Christ, Superstar, and now We All see Who You Are, The Risen Christ, never sacrificed! We walk by Faith, not by sight. And We are All "Marys"for Christ is in Us All, the Hope of Glory!
Is Genesis history? That depends on Whom/whom you ask...and whether or not you really want to know the truth or just desire to have your ears tickled. To Whom/whom will you listen 👂- the Still sweet Voice of the Spirit of Truth - or the loud, hot-air hissing of that old serpent, the human ego Lying Old Red Devil Giver of death, Genesis 2:4's and 2:7's and 3:1-4's.If you are kin to "Eve", you will love his "hissed-story" for he is the father of it. And he's got lots and lots more hissed-ory after "Eden"... from there to the last verse in The Revelation, if you haven't Rightly divided the Scripture of Truth. The prince of this world 🌍, as Jesus aptly called the "great deceiver", will lead you on many hysterical, historical wild goose chases, old wives tales, Jewish fables, endless, meaningless, Motherless genealogies, if you so choose to follow him. But he will never let you Hear the GOSPEL Good News of Jesus The Christ , the Light 🚨 of the world, the Son of GOD, the Witness of the Holy Ghost, Who Will Have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the Truth! According to Genesis 1:31-2:3, the only True Story is His Story, and It has Always Been Blessed and Sanctified as unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable!!! 💕🙏💕 AMEN, Hallelujah, Praise Our Father/Mother/Son and Brother/Holy Ghost, All Ye Heavenly Hosts!!!
Dr. Kurt Wise makes a difficult concept fun to learn and easier to understand. So thankful for people like him helping make scientific sense out of scripture as it relates to earths history.
I was blessed to have gone through high school with Kurt. Class of '77... Kurt was much smarter than all the teachers put together. Modern day Einstein to say the least. Eggy said that. ✌
I love this lecture and I love the lecturer and I especially like when he talks about the floating forest in other videos just amazing stuff what God has done and will do!
@Darth Quantum The only snake oil salesman is you and your Ilk! If your not interested why watch? It obvious your not A Christian. There is non so blind as someone who doesn't see what's in front of them. May be you need to answer the questions of how out of place artifacts get embeded one rocks and rock layers where they just should not be.
@Darth Quantum Dr Kurt Wise is no snake oil salesman. He did his Doctorate degree under Dr Jay Steven Could at Harvard. The others did their degrees at MIT, Yale,cal tech and so on some even have Cambridge and Oxford degrees. Among them there are Rhodes scholars. It they are snake oil salesmen," what are you," What's your creditials to make such a rude comment about such well educated men." If you want respect for your divergent world view you must give the equal respect to others to hold their view. Remember the creation view is much older and has much more historical basis that evolution which is only 150-200;Years old . REMEMBER Many evolutionary scientists admit that there are glareling holes in the theory because the radio metric dates don't line up as they expect and they also keep changing like clock work.
He is not a snake oil sales man . What he is presenting is a valid alternative he is that many including myself believes to be true. If he is a snake oil salesman then he learnt it at the feet of his mentor,one of the prince's of evolutionary theory Stephen Jay could at Harvard.
@@ozowen5961 it is a valid alternative as much if not more so than evolutionaryTheory. Since most people accept that man is A moral being, it presupposes some greater agency for this. THIS fits only in the context of creation ex nihilo. This presupposes the presence of certain immutable laws to be present without which something could not be created or come into existence. Random happen stance isn't able to leap this void if these laws are present as these laws presuppose order from the begining of Creation whilst,evolution by its nature. Observes only continual randomness and chaos from which nothing can come, absent immutable laws which provide clock work precision and order which governs how everything works and relates to the whole.
@@ozowen5961 They also said you can't circumnavigate the world because it's flat...They also said flight was impossible...All words of scientists in the past...Just because science declares it impossible doesn't make it so.
I think I would also have required a glass of wine in that post- flood world This is fascinating - I think if I had had a lecturer like Kurt I would have stuck with Geology I have always wondered if Continental Drift could have happened during the flood and I greatly appreciate the model he and others present. This is such a great series Thanks guys
@Willy Friedlander YHWH is father God. Jesus is His son. There is no Jesus vs YHWH. Jesus said, "I and the Father are one". Your post reads like a rant. That is no way to reach anyone. God's word says to speak the truth in love, not bash people over the head with it.
You are still ranting. I was saying YHWH are not opposed to each other, they are in unity. Have you considered that she may be a Messianic Jew? That means she may have accepted Jesus as her Messiah. There are many names that God goes by in the Bible. It seems you think she is a Jehovah's witness,but no can reach anyone by ranting.
@Willy Friedlander No, I am saying that ranting is not speaking the truth in love. Screaming and shouting is the ranting I am talking about (caps is considered screaming in the in written English, hence the ranting). Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are in complete unity. They do not act in any way against each other. No one comes to the Father except the Spirit draws him through Christ Jesus. Why do you think I am blaspheming the Holy Spirit? What I am doing is affirming God's word.
@Willy Friedlander Again you are ranting. The bible calls God Elohim in creation, YHWH/Jehovah is God's covenant name often combined with a character descriptor like rapha (healer) in the Old Testament/Torah, Jesus/Yesuah is the name by which we must be saved and we pray to the Father in Jesus' name, Jesus said we can call God Abba Father. Adonai is another name the Jews use affectionately for God. I have never come across AUHSEY, YHV or VHY though. What are those names about?
@Willy Friedlander I asked you to explain to me what the names AUHSEY, YHV and VHY are about. I have not come across them before. I really am interested in finding out. I am not dogmatic that the name of God is Jehovah. It one of the names God has called Himself in the Bible. Therefore I am not blaspheming. Jesus is my Lord and saviour. I live for Him.
This is worth watching just for Dr. Wise’s re-enactment of Noah descending Mt. Ararat (22:10). Great teacher’s love their subject and they love people, and he left this somewhat jaded 68 year-old with a re-awakened appreciation of the power of God and the dynamism and immediacy of life. Please share this video.
Do you believe in evolution? Well, either there was a fleet of arks manned by thousands of people to carry the millions of species we have today, or a few thousand species evolved into millions as soon as they stepped off the ark. Which is it?
@@davidgardner863 • I am so glad that you expressed evolution as being something to “believe in”, because it requires faith to believe that everything came out of nothing. The theory of evolution is just that, a theory that cannot be supported by science. Until proven it remains fiction - albeit a very well-funded one. Noah was inspired by God to build an ark, a work that was to take 120 years to complete. The total volume of Noah's Ark, with an 18 inch cubit, was roughly 1.5 million cubic feet (42,475 cubic meters). This equals the total capacity of more than 570 standard stock railroad cars. Its floor space, if divided over three decks, would have totalled over 101,000 square feet (9,383 square meters). God brought the requisite animals (seven pairs of every clean animal and two of each of every unclean animal) to the ark. This would have included ‘dinosaurs’ although they would not be labelled as such for over four thousand years. The total would have been approximately 1,000 ‘kinds’ of animals, each ‘kind’ would later generate multiple species after its own kind and some species, as they do today, would have gone into extinction. The animals on board would have filled about half of the ark, leaving plenty of storage room for food (for 370 days) and living quarters for 8 people, Noah and his wife, and his three sons and their wives. The animals would not have to be fully grown but they most probably would have been close to or at breeding age - and, again, every specie of dinosaur would not have had to be included, just one pair, or seven pairs, of the kind depending if they were adjudged to be clean or unclean animals. The average size of the animals in the ark would have been between the size of a sheep and a cow.
@@kenbarber6592 , I’ve heard all of this creationist nonsense before. You have no idea what it takes to care for all those animals. Try asking a zookeeper. The dimensions given in Genesis are not nearly big enough for even a few thousand animals and all the food and water they require for 2 years. There is no such thing as “kinds”. You are admitting one species generated many so you believe in macro evolution. And that’s not to mention the 99% of extinct species. Many species’ young cannot survive without their parents and some are full grown in less than a year. How could 4 old men harvest 65,000 trees and turn them into usable lumber to build an impossibly huge wooden boat that would fall apart as soon as the first wave slapped against the side of it, and all this with nothing more than a bronze axe with no infrastructure whatsoever. And no, people didn’t live 900 years, 30 if they were lucky.
@@davidgardner863 • You continue to deflect and construct ludicrous straw men without providing any proof for your belief in evolution. I stand by my original statement, the theory of evolution is science fiction. Time is precious. Farewell.
@@kenbarber6592 , And you continue to avoid questions you can’t answer. Evolution is not a belief. It’s a demonstrated fact supported by evidence by observation and experimentation. You don’t understand what hypothesis is and theory is. Creationism is a belief not backed by any real evidence. Creation science is an oxymoron. It starts with a biblical bias and tries to make observation fit belief. Science doesn’t work that way. When you make absurd claims the burden of proof lies on you.
I really appreciate how this gentleman is able to open such complex concepts in such a way that we can all grasp these amazing ideas! God bless you to influence more people for the glory of God!
Kurt, this is the third lecture of yours that I’ve seen this week. I really appreciate your skill in teaching this material. I very much enjoy watching and learning. More than once, I’ve had questions I wanted to ask only to have you answer the question later in the lecture.
Barb Wilson : yes, i love fiction... one of the best ever heard. Let him continuing doing that... maybe he might write the script for the next season of Lucifer. He’s good !
My interest is more on the pre-flood condition of the earth. What was the earth like before the flood? Was there really no rain yet? How was the sky look like? What about the mountains before before the flood? What happened to the original 3 rivers mentioned in Genesis 1-3 after the flood? Were they the same rivers after the flood? Did the rainbow in the sky only appear after the flood? And so on.
I as well am so very interested in ore flood and even pre fall. I know he does a lecture on the pre flood but I’m not sure those kinds of questions are answered. However, there are many different kinds of creationists videos on the pre flood world. Kent Hovind - the garden of Eden CMI creation institute Dr. Carl Bough creation in symphony The Ark encounter ……….these are all great information to watch on UA-cam!
@@thetheoreticaltheologian2458 Just be careful of their doctrinal stances, because they will seep into their information from time to time. It's important, because even good information and good teachers can be used by Satan to deceive us as bad information is given peripherally.
If people could only believe in Gods word it might put their climate change theory to rest. I believe the earth is young and what we are seeing today is earth still healing from the flood. Thank you for all your great work!
I'm convinced of the same thing. I've studied evolution and the old earth, and creation and young earth, and for sure the young earth is more convincing to me. The problem is that most won't even listen, let alone listen with an open mind.
If you've covered the make-up of the crust before the flood, can you direct me to the video? The Bible says that Tubal Cane was skilled in metal. Was there ore or metal close to the top of the crust?
No doubt I find The World during Pre-flood to be one of the single most interesting,.. but even4 more the Post- Flood world/our Earth Age has to be one of thè 8th Wonders of the World, as this Professor describes how the world must have looked like when the Arc and Noah rested, he gives I feel an accurate account, I could listen to him for hours. Were blessed to have his and others like him that went to School and Studied fir Pain Staking years, to pass on this knowledge. Great Job.
There is unfortunately some history between Walt Brown and some of the more well known creationist geologists. I have always thought that the hydroplate theory made a lot more sense than the alternatives especially regarding the origin of comets and asteroids and the massive impact craters that occurred after the flood and that are found on the near side of the moon.
Are the megalithic civilizations pre or post flood? If preflood, then acorrding to this lecture, rhey would all be much closer to each other on Pangia (before the moving of the continents). Are there any scholars that have looked at that data. How were these sites effected by the flood and post flood periods? Are there megalithic sites that were buried, or broken up?
Kurt I love listening to your lectures I am fascinated all the time. I.I'm thinking that back in my school days if I had a teacher that had your Passion tor truth .I might have actually paid attention and gotten good grades. That being said, all they tried to do was regurgitate some agenda for the main stream ideology of the academic. So most likely they whould have to burry you as to protect the naritive. With that thank you.
The oldest book of the Bible is said to be Job. Job would have been around the time of Abraham or earlier not too long after flood. Job refers to ice, snow and frozen seas much more than any other book. This is very likely at the time of post flood ice age. “By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast.” Job 37:10 “The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.” Job 38:30
Hello @Futterman Farms, To date, no one has discovered mastodons frozen in permafrost, though several frozen woolly mammoths are known. The vast majority of frozen woolly mammoth carcasses are found in permafrost that was originally wind-blown silt called loess. Dr. Michael Oard, who has done substantial research on this topic, suggests that there these animals suffocated and were buried in massive dust storms during the final years of the Ice Age, similar to those of the Dust Bowl era. After the mammoths were buried, the freezing temperatures from the permafrost below would move upward and the cold air would cool the carcass from above. You can find out more about how woolly mammoth carcasses became frozen in permafrost from this chapter of Dr. Oard's book: answersingenesis.org/extinct-animals/ice-age/extinction-of-the-woolly-mammoth/
@@IsGenesisHistory ah yes of course, I stand corrected ... wollies. I am familiar with Dr. Grant's theory on this. but my problem still remains, how were they eating fairly tropical vegetation and then instantly frozen and buried. They had to be buried quickly for the same reason as fossils had to be. Wouldn't it seems like the end of the ice age there would not have been such vegetation. and wouldn't the problem of quick and complete burial seem like a flood event, not post flood? could it be that some of the water that covered the earth was frozen at the time of the flood? and only increased post flood? or at least immediately as the waters receded?
Good point. "And darkness was on the face of the deep." The Deep is a reference to the sea. In the beginning, before there was land, all there was was formless and void water. Gravity hadn't been created yet because water in a liquid state in the void of space wouldn't be formless. What would the form of water in space look like today? A ball, right? But in the beginning, the earth was without form and void [of life] but if there were such a thing as gravity, then the water would have had the form of a ball, as the surface tension of the water would have collected the water to itself. But if there were no gravity there would be no surface tension and the water would be without form. The pseudo-science of today postulates that the early eath was all land and no water - until everything cooled off enough for water to pool in a liquid state. But in the beginning, we are told, darkness was on the face of a formless deep [sea]. No land had yet been created.
Marine fossils on top of mountains and deserts, rocks layers laid down by water all over the earth, and fossils in water sediment. There's a very large amount of evidence for the flood. The current amount of water on earth could cover everything by nearly two miles if mountains and water trenches were leveled out.
adfasd, you wrote, " . . . there's no evidence of a global flood ever happening right?" Wrong. The evidence points directly to a world-wide, global flood, exactly as written in the Holy Bible, and as passed down as folklore in virtually every nation under heaven. There is no evidence for uniformitarianism, as promoted by anti-God bigots. You really need to get out more. Dan
Gary Walker wrote, "I agree with adfasd, there is no real evidence that Noah's Flood ever happened because it is a fairy tale." I will agree that evolutionism is a fairy tale, since there is absolutely ZERO evidence for it. Every so-called "proof" claimed by the pseudo-scientists of evolutionism is based on magic. Those pseudo-proofs go something like this: 1. An infinitely dense "egg", also called a "singularity", magically appeared out of nothing. That, in itself, is a pretty neat trick; but there is more. . 2. The unimaginable mass of the universe was magically created by that exploding "egg" (I kid you not!) 3. The stars, galaxies and our solar system were magically created from "gases" that formed when the magic "egg" exploded 4. The earth magically appeared with the perfect watery environment, perfect atmosphere, and perfectly located moon to sustain future life. 5. Life magically appeared from inorganic matter as a single, living organism. 6. The astonishing complexity of life magically "evolved" from that single living organism. Real scientists have determined, over and over again, that the possibility of life evolving from non-life is ZERO, not to mention the possibility of the universe being created from nothing being ZERO. Like I said, evolutionism is a fairy tale based on magic. However, there is plenty of evidence for a global flood. These are a few, from a scientific (non-magic) perspective: 1. Transcontinental megasequence rock layering 2. Megasequences contain graduated sediments (larger to smaller particles, bottom to top) 3 Laminate layers (very little bioturbation) 4. Little or no erosion between layers, denoting rapid layering. 5. Consistent east-to-west currents (denoting the moon holding the flood water while the earth revolves under it) 6. Sand transported across continents. 7. Rock layers folded, not fractured, denoting soft, pliable rock layering when plate tectonics began to divide the continents. 8. High and dry sea creatures (even in the Himalayan plateau) 9. Fossil graveyards everywhere, even though fossilization is a complicated, rare occurrence under normal circumstances. You will find nothing like that -- no science whatsoever -- supporting evolutionism, since there is ZERO support. It is based solely on magic and vivid imaginations. Evolutionism is the stuff science fiction is made of. Dan
adfasd. There is none so blind as those that will not see. You have just proved, like so many others, the truth of the biblical prophecy made almost 2000 years ago that in the last days scoffers would come who would be willfully ignorant of and deny the reality of the global flood; i.e. ignorant of the evidence because they WANT to be.
When the animals got off the Ark, what did they eat the first six months? Travelling to avoid being prey to other animals, and foraging (on what?) long enough to reproduce?
Noah's Ark landed in the mountains of Ararat many months before Noah, his family, and the animals actually left the Ark. This would have provided ample time for plants to begin recolonizing the earth so that hungry herbivores would have enough to eat.
Kurt, I have never heard that K2 and Everest trade the title of world's tallest mountain and change heights by 10;s of feet per year. Is this found somewhere in official scientific literature? Also, it sounds like you believe in catastrophic climate change based on your description of how you think arctic and antarctic ice will melt. Is this true?
I looked for info on the mountains as well and nothing. Only thing I did find is that atmospheric pressure changes do take place to the point where they trade places in that sense, but not actual height. They're a few hundred feet different iirc.
There wouldn't have been many oxygen breathing animals needing trees and other plants to generate it. Seems the growth of both would have been close to equal. To me, anyhow.
Another question, if all animals came from the ark, how did they get spaced across the whole world. Did they get moved at the same time humans did from Babel. Seems unlikely snakes crossed a frozen bridge to North America. Logs seem unlikely for a snake or some other animals. That is thousands of miles. How would they survive that trip. Not much food on a log
I see a world of after shocks, Hurricanes and wild temperature swings as the Earth seeks equilibrium. A large continent in one hemisphere would affect orbit and tilt...I think both would change as the planet's weight Is redistributed.
The ice age was more likely caused by the collapse of the canopy if it was composed of very-high-density amorphous ice, too dense to float, falling in at the magnetic poles. Post flood there would not have been time for the massive amounts of fauna to build up that died suddenly in the ice age. Also, the fauna, such as mammoths, were frozen instantly. It was far too cold for snow to have been the cause of mammoths freezing before food could be digested in their stomachs. Being too dense to float, the very-high-density amorphous ice would remain on the ground, under water, during the flood, even causing the development of permafrost, before the flood receded. It is so cold that it would have easily frozen all of the fauna where it stood. This isn't some crazy notion. We actually observe very-high-density amorphous ice on Ganymede falling from space and being funneled toward the magnetic poles of the moon.
Great Theory. Ive thought about this too..Such rapid freezing has puzzled me and until I heard the rapid subduction theory. Perhaps the lands moved quickly into the polar regions. Most of these animals are found in mud..frozen but mud..could they have been killed earlier in the event and the land was hauling ass north. No time for scavenging as everything was dealing with their own problems. Animals killed, quickly buried in mud as the land freezes....maybe 🤔
@@billcat1840 Thanks. My idea has a lot more detail to it as well, but I have never taken the time to write it all down. For instance, where the magnetic north pole sort of dances around over Canada (not over the north pole axis) is where the actual center of the ice age was. The ice age wasn't centered over the axis pole. Too bad I can't attach an image here of the maps. This is explainable by very-high-density-amorphous-ice, which would have fallen toward the magnetic, not axial pole, so the center of the freezing would be there. Canada. Another phenomenon this could have caused, due to a heavy bombardment in one spot, may explain the 23 degree tilt of the earth. Just an idea. I also go on to have an idea as to why the year is 365 days and not 360 as I surmise it may have been pre-flood.
Dr. Wise, I have learned a great deal about geology and paleontology from your lectures, and I greatly appreciate them. However, I do have one minor geographical/archaeology disagreement. At 1:02:44 you mentioned Lot and the plain of the Jordan, and, if I understand correctly, how that is now the Dead Sea. That does seem to be the consensus among many archaeologists, but I have been studying this for many years, and I am reasonably certain that area is still located in the plain of the Jordan, and not within the Dead Sea. Archaeologists, like other scientists and historians, tend to be "victimized" from time-to-time by groupthink, which I believe to be the case here. Other examples of archaeological groupthink include Champollion's hasty claim that Shoshenq was the bibilical Shishak, and Kathleen Kenyon's dogmatic claim that what was believed to be Jericho before her time, was NOT Jericho, a claim that was possibly based on faulty dates derived from Champollion's earlier claim. In any case, a 2017 Journal of Creation article by Anne Habermehl summarized much of what I have learned and come to believe over the years. The summary of Part I reads, _"It is most likely that the ruins of the cities of the plain are located along a narrow strip of wasteland on the west side of the Jordan River, just north of the Dead Sea. This conclusion is arrived at mainly from the various mentions of the cities from Scripture. It is shown that other claimed locations around the Dead Sea cannot be Sodom." [Anne Habermehl, "Sodom Part I." Journal of Creation, 31(2); August, 2017, p.59]_ Earlier in the article, she stated: _"We quote [Steven] Collins on this window of visibility: 'I am intimately familiar with what can and cannot be seen from practically every vantage point between Ai and the edge of the Jordan Valley to the east. The southern Jordan Valley north of the Dead Sea and the foothills on the eastern edge of the Jordan Valley are easily visible from that area. On a clear day, you can even see a portion of the northern end of the Dead Sea itself. But under no circumstances or by any stretch of the imagination can you see with the naked eye beyond that point to the middle (Lisan) regions or the southern end of the Dead Sea. The vantage point of the area of Bethel and Ai is a bit of evidence that should not be passed over lightly.'" [Ibid. p.53]_ While Anne doesn't agree with the location Collins chose for Sodom, she does agree with his on-site observation of the what Lot might have seen, as do I. In Part II, Anne adds: _"This high level of the Dead Sea at the time of the cities' destruction has obvious implications for claims by some that the remains of the cities were under the southern end of the Dead Sea (as discussed in part 1). The cities cannot have ever been under water because at the time of the cities' destruction, the Dead Sea was at its highest level in historical times. This high level is also implicated in the next section on the Vale of Siddim." [Ibid. "Sodom Part II." p.72]_ For the record, Josephus also claimed the land of Sodom "borders upon" the Dead Sea, not in it, and adds that the traces [or shadows] of the five cities were still visible in his day: _"The nature of the lake Asphaltitis is also worth describing. It is, as I have said already, bitter and unfruitful. It is so light [or thick] that it bears up the heaviest things that are thrown into it; nor is it easy for any one to make things sink therein to the bottom, if he had a mind so to do . . . The country of Sodom borders upon it. It was of old a most happy land, both for the fruits it bore and the riches of its cities, although it be now all burnt up. It is related how, for the impiety of its inhabitants, it was burnt by lightning; in consequence of which there are still the remainders of that Divine fire, and the traces [or shadows] of the five cities are still to be seen, as well as the ashes growing in their fruits; which fruits have a color as if they were fit to be eaten, but if you pluck them with your hands, they dissolve into smoke and ashes. And thus what is related of this land of Sodom hath these marks of credibility which our very sight affords us." [Flavius Josephus, "The Complete Works: Wars of the Jews." Christian Classics Ethereal Library, 1934, Book IV.8.4, pp.1379-80]_ Links to Anne's articles: creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j31_2/j31_2_53-60.pdf creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j31_2/j31_2_70-77.pdf BTW, Archaeologist Steven Collins makes a very good case for his interpretations. Thanks, again. Dan
Update: This is a 2021 Nature Scientific Report on the Tall el-Hammam dig site. _Bunch et al, "A Tunguska sized airburst destroyed Tall el-Hammam a Middle Bronze Age city in the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea"_ Dan
I always believed that we had one land mass before the flood the separation of the land was part of the world disruption that was the floods so often we forget that the earth was broken up with the waters under the earth coming up
If you look at world map the continent’s look like they came apart at one point ,if could push them back like legos they very much fit in one big land mass .Sedimentary record is only small portion of the equation .
@@ozowen5961 Not at all. You are thinking of a Flood model where the water rises gently. This was tsunami after tsunami in great waves that eroded the surface off progressively and redeposited it great mud waves. Once again you Flood deniers tilt at strawmen like Don Quixote.
@mr Sandman , Enough heat would have been generated to turn the entire crust of the earth into a molten mass. You can’t compress 4.5 billion years of tectonic activity into a few hundred.
Probably a silly question - but how did the flood recede and how long did it take to do so, and did some of the waters evaporate or find its way to oceans? The Bible speaks of the Ark landing on a mountain in Turkey. I wondered whether those poor animals managed to survive on a mountain top and for how long? Fascinating stuff! Actually, what he says immediately makes logical sense, and it’s a relief to not hear the usual smokescreen of billions of years being trotted out. Even as a Christian I settled on the idea that the earth was billions of years old because that was what I was taught in school. The six days of creation sounded implausible, but then I came to the conclusion that God can do anything He wishes, so who am I to argue with Him? He created time and space, so He is the Boss. Hugh Ross, the astrophysicist, is a Christian, but He believes the earth was around for billions of years, but he does explain the fine tuning of our moon in relation to our planet and its life, which only God our Creator could do.
The over all general explaination of what happened to the waters after the flood is that they didnt leave earth or anything. During the cataclysm that caused the flood, the continents were pushed upwards and after they were pushed high enough the waters receded around them and settled into our oceans. Alot of which froze and rained down as snow at first since it was blasted high into the atmosphere, and that's what caused our actual ice age.
It must be remembered that the mud form these mud flows is not something the ladies in the beauty shop would want to put their customers faces. It is truly a mixed bag of material whose main property is enough turbulence to keep these solids in a plastic suspension. One of the modern metal cutting techniques is the water jet table for cutting plate stock. This is done at very high pressure through a very hard abrasion resistant nozzle. However, the cutting medium is not water despite the name. The cutting medium is an abrasive slurry that is suspended in water. In conventional geology, glaciers scour bedrock as they slowly move down slope. This is like sand paper on a geologic scale. However, a mud flow can produce a similar result except there is no moraine where the glacier finally melts and drops the suspended material. Using just those two examples it is easy to see how academics can misinterpret conditions in the field. Yes, superman's x-ray vision would have helped here, but one also has to understand the politics of science and how mistakes take on a life of their own and are exceptionally hard to kill. Academics who championed half baked ideas will fight tooth and nail to defend their reputations. An embarrassment reflects not only on the academic but also the institution that employs him/her and grant money that goes elsewhere.

The waters of the flood filled in the sinking ocean basin. The sea floor material is more dense and heavier than the continental material. Hydraulic force in the fluid mantle pushed up the continents. That is what caused the flood basalts and huge uplifts, mountain ranges. Of course as the ocean basin was sinking the massive sheets of flood water ran off the continents causing massive erosion as the water level neared the surface.
Thousands of pyramids worldwide. Were they built prior to Noah's flood and before Pangaea splitting??? Please do a video on pre flood structures that didn't get destroyed or buried.
Rebound eh? Maybe, but I think the lunar tidal forces also pull at the continents and that could be lifting them slightly when the moon passes over them. Then drop down when goes around to the other side of earth. Perhaps you should try match that activity to lunar positioning. I'm not trying to argue, but scienc looks at facts. I want more facts.
I dont comprehend your logic that a log mat would only have two logs or not be stable to walk around on. Loggers walk on log mats all the time. Your bigger issue is how do they survive floating out at sea for months till they get to an island.
Here is my issue with post flood world and the story of Noah. First issue, if the global flood was so devastating then it must have wiped out vegetation and trees. Trees in mass quantity such as the Brazilian rain forest provide high levels of oxygen how did people and animals live. What did grazing animals feed on and carnivores feed on. A small flood wouldn’t destroy trees and vegetation but a flood that was capable of carving the Grand Canyon had to be so epic and strong and required earthquakes and upheaval of the ocean floors I just don’t see how that could leave any plant life.
its not straight because electric current. and it can cut through bedrock in seconds. did you notice any electic phenomenon during the Mt St Helen's eruption ?
11:00 - interesting speech, but I don't think that the drill samples for that area support this claim. It is sediment in the lower parts of the valley. This would support the glacial lake flow theory. ua-cam.com/video/f-r1uCZUrzA/v-deo.html
I've always considered myself scientifically- minded. As I have moved from atheism, to agnosticism, to knowing Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead, I am realizing that I was just brainwashed. Thank you God for Is Genesis History?, Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter among others for answering my objections, reconciling scientific "contradictions" to God's Word, and opening my eyes and my heart.
God is good! Yes, thank God that He raises up scientists to help us understand the creation and history of our young earth. He strengthens and stirs up our faith and helps solidify for us the importance of correct beliefs.
Praise God! 🙏
same I was so "scientific" I took everything I was told and believed it without ever investigating anything.
You could even have a faith in Jesus as messiah and yet lose it due to lacking the foundation of Genesis. This is my story exactly.
I had faith in Jesus as a child but once I was confronted with endless evolutionary theory, millions of years, existence without purpose, etc. I lost my faith. After all, how can you believe in the historicity of Jesus and His saving power if He gave validation to the entirety of the scriptures and Genesis turned out to be fables?
You can’t maintain faith if you become convinced that God, at best, got wrong His own creation story. That said, The Holy Spirit convicted me after decades of living in the wilderness and consuming the waters that cannot quench thirst.
Memories of scriptures such as Jeremiah 29:13, James 1:5, and Isaiah 40:22 came to me. I began searching for evidence backing Genesis and I quickly found strong scientific support for Noah’s Flood and YEC. I devoured the material and I found myself on my knees pouring out my heart to Yeshua and giving thanks to Him.
Now that my foundation is on the solid rock of The Ancient of Days instead of sand…and the lies and half truths taught and accepted as fact by the world are exposed for the hollow soul-destroying and God-hating religion that they are…I have true peace again and I am in prayer and in Bible study often. And I am witnessing to those who reside in the wilderness of Evolution and existence as chance. Those who are walking the wide path to destruction and separation from God.
Material like this is so extremely important. So extremely important….
@@davidhawkes1981I was similar, I didn't take the Genesis story to be true(because of this millions of years idea). So I grieved the Holy Spirit.

It God created the earth without form and void , how did it become a matter filled sphere? And why does Jesus repeatedly aver that the heaven and earth will pass away, if they are not transitory, ephemeral and illusory? God,Genesis One's Deity is an eternal Spirit Who created and made All Things after His and His Co-creators Likeness, that is to say that Of Him, and through Him, and to Him Are All Things to Whom Be Glory for ever, then pray tell , who "formed" a physical, tangible, temporal, visible, transitory, corruptible, and destructible, matter-strewn aeroaquaterrous globe inhabited by mortal men and beasts who "live" by killing and eating each other? We humans slaughter 80 billion land animals annually for meat consumption! That's not counting the catch from the seas. What ever happened to "Thou shalt not kill"? What's wrong with Genesis One's fruit 🍑 nuts and berries and herb for our "meat". Have you never read Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 and taken It to Heart ❤️? Nevertheless We love and forgive All people everywhere!
When The Fat Lady Sings History is just a Hollywood flick...A Looney-tunes cartoon!

@Darth Quantum The only snake oil salesman is you and your Ilk! If your not interested why watch? It obvious your not A Christian. There is non so blind as someone who doesn't see what's in front of them. May be you need to answer the questions of how out of place artifacts get embeded one rocks and rock layers where they just should not be.
@Darth Quantum Dr Kurt Wise is no snake oil salesman. He did his Doctorate degree under Dr Jay Steven Could at Harvard. The others did their degrees at MIT, Yale,cal tech and so on some even have Cambridge and Oxford degrees. Among them there are Rhodes scholars. It they are snake oil salesmen," what are you," What's your creditials to make such a rude comment about such well educated men." If you want respect for your divergent world view you must give the equal respect to others to hold their view. Remember the creation view is much older and has much more historical basis that evolution which is only 150-200;Years old . REMEMBER Many evolutionary scientists admit that there are glareling holes in the theory because the radio metric dates don't line up as they expect and they also keep changing like clock work.
He is not a snake oil sales man . What he is presenting is a valid alternative he is that many including myself believes to be true. If he is a snake oil salesman then he learnt it at the feet of his mentor,one of the prince's of evolutionary theory Stephen Jay could at Harvard.
@@ozowen5961 it is a valid alternative as much if not more so than evolutionaryTheory. Since most people

A moral being, it presupposes some greater agency for this. THIS fits only in the context of creation ex nihilo. This presupposes the presence of certain immutable laws to be present without which something could not be created or come into existence.
Random happen stance
isn't able to leap this void if these laws are present as these laws presuppose order from the begining of Creation whilst,evolution by its nature. Observes only continual randomness and chaos from which nothing can come, absent immutable laws which provide clock work precision and order which governs how everything works and relates to the whole.

Thanks guys
Not if you want to have a wife, 1.8 kids and a mortgage.
They postulate that continental drift was at a very high rate during the flood and that most of it occurred at that time.
No wonder Noah got drunk, right?
Thanks for your hard work to bring this to us!
I appreciate your enthusiasm Professor! It show great passion to share what you've encountered and researched. Praise the Glory of Jehovah God!
@Willy Friedlander YHWH is father God. Jesus is His son. There is no Jesus vs YHWH. Jesus said, "I and the Father are one". Your post reads like a rant. That is no way to reach anyone. God's word says to speak the truth in love, not bash people over the head with it.
You are still ranting. I was saying YHWH are not opposed to each other, they are in unity. Have you considered that she may be a Messianic Jew? That means she may have accepted Jesus as her Messiah. There are many names that God goes by in the Bible. It seems you think she is a Jehovah's witness,but no can reach anyone by ranting.
@Willy Friedlander No, I am saying that ranting is not speaking the truth in love. Screaming and shouting is the ranting I am talking about (caps is considered screaming in the in written English, hence the ranting). Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are in complete unity. They do not act in any way against each other. No one comes to the Father except the Spirit draws him through Christ Jesus. Why do you think I am blaspheming the Holy Spirit? What I am doing is affirming God's word.
@Willy Friedlander Again you are ranting. The bible calls God Elohim in creation, YHWH/Jehovah is God's covenant name often combined with a character descriptor like rapha (healer) in the Old Testament/Torah, Jesus/Yesuah is the name by which we must be saved and we pray to the Father in Jesus' name, Jesus said we can call God Abba Father. Adonai is another name the Jews use affectionately for God. I have never come across AUHSEY, YHV or VHY though. What are those names about?
@Willy Friedlander I asked you to explain to me what the names AUHSEY, YHV and VHY are about. I have not come across them before. I really am interested in finding out.
I am not dogmatic that the name of God is Jehovah. It one of the names God has called Himself in the Bible. Therefore I am not blaspheming. Jesus is my Lord and saviour. I live for Him.
This really is amazing stuff he covers in this lecture. Tectonic!
I delight in Kurt wise’s Lectures, I can’t help but to be amazed at how informative and he is so animated and simply loves the subject.

This is worth watching just for Dr. Wise’s re-enactment of Noah descending Mt. Ararat (22:10). Great teacher’s love their subject and they love people, and he left this somewhat jaded 68 year-old with a re-awakened appreciation of the power of God and the dynamism and immediacy of life. Please share this video.
Do you believe in evolution? Well, either there was a fleet of arks manned by thousands of people to carry the millions of species we have today, or a few thousand species evolved into millions as soon as they stepped off the ark. Which is it?
@@davidgardner863 • I am so glad that you expressed evolution as being something to “believe in”, because it requires faith to believe that everything came out of nothing. The theory of evolution is just that, a theory that cannot be supported by science. Until proven it remains fiction - albeit a very well-funded one.
Noah was inspired by God to build an ark, a work that was to take 120 years to complete. The total volume of Noah's Ark, with an 18 inch cubit, was roughly 1.5 million cubic feet (42,475 cubic meters). This equals the total capacity of more than 570 standard stock railroad cars. Its floor space, if divided over three decks, would have totalled over 101,000 square feet (9,383 square meters).
God brought the requisite animals (seven pairs of every clean animal and two of each of every unclean animal) to the ark. This would have included ‘dinosaurs’ although they would not be labelled as such for over four thousand years. The total would have been approximately 1,000 ‘kinds’ of animals, each ‘kind’ would later generate multiple species after its own kind and some species, as they do today, would have gone into extinction. The animals on board would have filled about half of the ark, leaving plenty of storage room for food (for 370 days) and living quarters for 8 people, Noah and his wife, and his three sons and their wives. The animals would not have to be fully grown but they most probably would have been close to or at breeding age - and, again, every specie of dinosaur would not have had to be included, just one pair, or seven pairs, of the kind depending if they were adjudged to be clean or unclean animals. The average size of the animals in the ark would have been between the size of a sheep and a cow.
@@kenbarber6592 , I’ve heard all of this creationist nonsense before. You have no idea what it takes to care for all those animals. Try asking a zookeeper. The dimensions given in Genesis are not nearly big enough for even a few thousand animals and all the food and water they require for 2 years. There is no such thing as “kinds”. You are admitting one species generated many so you believe in macro evolution. And that’s not to mention the 99% of extinct species. Many species’ young cannot survive without their parents and some are full grown in less than a year. How could 4 old men harvest 65,000 trees and turn them into usable lumber to build an impossibly huge wooden boat that would fall apart as soon as the first wave slapped against the side of it, and all this with nothing more than a bronze axe with no infrastructure whatsoever. And no, people didn’t live 900 years, 30 if they were lucky.
@@davidgardner863 • You continue to deflect and construct ludicrous straw men without providing any proof for your belief in evolution. I stand by my original statement, the theory of evolution is science fiction. Time is precious. Farewell.
@@kenbarber6592 , And you continue to avoid questions you can’t answer. Evolution is not a belief. It’s a demonstrated fact supported by evidence by observation and experimentation. You don’t understand what hypothesis is and theory is. Creationism is a belief not backed by any real evidence. Creation science is an oxymoron. It starts with a biblical bias and tries to make observation fit belief. Science doesn’t work that way. When you make absurd claims the burden of proof lies on you.

My interest is more on the pre-flood condition of the earth. What was the earth like before the flood? Was there really no rain yet? How was the sky look like? What about the mountains before before the flood? What happened to the original 3 rivers mentioned in Genesis 1-3 after the flood? Were they the same rivers after the flood? Did the rainbow in the sky only appear after the flood? And so on.
I as well am so very interested in ore flood and even pre fall. I know he does a lecture on the pre flood but I’m not sure those kinds of questions are answered. However, there are many different kinds of creationists videos on the pre flood world.

There is unfortunately some history between Walt Brown and some of the more well known creationist geologists.

The oldest book of the Bible is said to be Job. Job would have been around the time of Abraham or earlier not too long after flood. Job refers to ice, snow and frozen seas much more than any other book. This is very likely at the time of post flood ice age.

If the ice came after the flood, how did mastodons get quick frozen in permafrost?
Hello @Futterman Farms,
To date, no one has discovered mastodons frozen in permafrost, though several frozen woolly mammoths are known. The vast majority of frozen woolly mammoth carcasses are found in permafrost that was originally wind-blown silt called loess. Dr. Michael Oard, who has done substantial research on this topic, suggests that there these animals suffocated and were buried in massive dust storms during the final years of the Ice Age, similar to those of the Dust Bowl era. After the mammoths were buried, the freezing temperatures from the permafrost below would move upward and the cold air would cool the carcass from above. You can find out more about how woolly mammoth carcasses became frozen in permafrost from this chapter of Dr. Oard's book: answersingenesis.org/extinct-animals/ice-age/extinction-of-the-woolly-mammoth/
@@IsGenesisHistory ah yes of course, I stand corrected ... wollies. I am familiar with Dr. Grant's theory on this. but my problem still remains, how were they eating fairly tropical vegetation and then instantly frozen and buried. They had to be buried quickly for the same reason as fossils had to be. Wouldn't it seems like the end of the ice age there would not have been such vegetation. and wouldn't the problem of quick and complete burial seem like a flood event, not post flood? could it be that some of the water that covered the earth was frozen at the time of the flood? and only increased post flood? or at least immediately as the waters receded?
it all makes perfect sense!
How is the rapid increase in the frequency and amplitude of earthquakes that we are experiencing now explained by this theory?
Having watched half of this, I wonder if he is going to talk about the ice flood of Genesis 1:2
Good point. "And darkness was on the face of the deep." The Deep is a reference to the sea. In the beginning, before there was land, all there was was formless and void water. Gravity hadn't been created yet because water in a liquid state in the void of space wouldn't be formless. What would the form of water in space look like today? A ball, right? But in the beginning, the earth was without form and void [of life] but if there were such a thing as gravity, then the water would have had the form of a ball, as the surface tension of the water would have collected the water to itself. But if there were no gravity there would be no surface tension and the water would be without form.
The pseudo-science of today postulates that the early eath was all land and no water - until everything cooled off enough for water to pool in a liquid state. But in the beginning, we are told, darkness was on the face of a formless deep [sea]. No land had yet been created.
I could have listened to him longer, very well done.
Marine fossils on top of mountains and deserts, rocks layers laid down by water all over the earth, and fossils in water sediment. There's a very large amount of evidence for the flood. The current amount of water on earth could cover everything by nearly two miles if mountains and water trenches were leveled out.
adfasd, you wrote, " . . . there's no evidence of a global flood ever happening right?"
Wrong. The evidence points directly to a world-wide, global flood, exactly as written in the Holy Bible, and as passed down as folklore in virtually every nation under heaven.
There is no evidence for uniformitarianism, as promoted by anti-God bigots.
You really need to get out more.

Gary Walker wrote, "I agree with adfasd, there is no real evidence that Noah's Flood ever happened because it is a fairy tale."
I will agree that evolutionism is a fairy tale, since there is absolutely ZERO evidence for it. Every so-called "proof" claimed by the pseudo-scientists of evolutionism is based on magic. Those pseudo-proofs go something like this:
1. An infinitely dense "egg", also called a "singularity", magically appeared out of nothing. That, in itself, is a pretty neat trick; but there is more.
.
2. The unimaginable mass of the universe was magically created by that exploding "egg" (I kid you not!)
3. The stars, galaxies and our solar system were magically created from "gases" that formed when the magic "egg" exploded
4. The earth magically appeared with the perfect watery environment, perfect atmosphere, and perfectly located moon to sustain future life.
5. Life magically appeared from inorganic matter as a single, living organism.
6. The astonishing complexity of life magically "evolved" from that single living organism.
Real scientists have determined, over and over again, that the possibility of life evolving from non-life is ZERO, not to mention the possibility of the universe being created from nothing being ZERO.
Like I said, evolutionism is a fairy tale based on magic.
However, there is plenty of evidence for a global flood. These are a few, from a scientific (non-magic) perspective:
1. Transcontinental megasequence rock layering
2. Megasequences contain graduated sediments (larger to smaller particles, bottom to top)
3 Laminate layers (very little bioturbation)
4. Little or no erosion between layers, denoting rapid layering.
5. Consistent east-to-west currents (denoting the moon holding the flood water while the earth revolves under it)
6. Sand transported across continents.
7. Rock layers folded, not fractured, denoting soft, pliable rock layering when plate tectonics began to divide the continents.
8. High and dry sea creatures (even in the Himalayan plateau)
9. Fossil graveyards everywhere, even though fossilization is a complicated, rare occurrence under normal circumstances.
You will find nothing like that -- no science whatsoever -- supporting evolutionism, since there is ZERO support. It is based solely on magic and vivid imaginations. Evolutionism is the stuff science fiction is made of.

adfasd. There is none so blind as those that will not see. You have just proved, like so many others, the truth of the biblical prophecy made almost 2000 years ago that in the last days scoffers would come who would be willfully ignorant of and deny the reality of the global flood; i.e. ignorant of the evidence because they WANT to be.
Adfasd: did you go over the lecture by Dr Kurt Wise at all, or like other mindless atheists, you only come here to spam with nonsensical comments?
When the animals got off the Ark, what did they eat the first six months? Travelling to avoid being prey to other animals, and foraging (on what?) long enough to reproduce?
Noah's Ark landed in the mountains of Ararat many months before Noah, his family, and the animals actually left the Ark. This would have provided ample time for plants to begin recolonizing the earth so that hungry herbivores would have enough to eat.
@@ozowen5961 I’m afraid they were eaten by the Velociraptors that were fed up with their diet of grain and root veggies....
@@IsGenesisHistory
Exactly, Noah did the "bird test" a few times before one brought back "greenery" in the form of an olive branch. 🕊️📖
When the fountains of the deep broke up, you'd better believe there were plate tectonics. And they moved quickly!
Kurt, I have never heard that K2 and Everest trade the title of world's tallest mountain and change heights by 10;s of feet per year. Is this found somewhere in official scientific literature? Also, it sounds like you believe in catastrophic climate change based on your description of how you think arctic and antarctic ice will melt. Is this true?
I looked for info on the mountains as well and nothing. Only thing I did find is that atmospheric pressure changes do take place to the point where they trade places in that sense, but not actual height. They're a few hundred feet different iirc.
Question? How is oxygen levels affected after flood until earth is reforested?
There wouldn't have been many oxygen breathing animals needing trees and other plants to generate it. Seems the growth of both would have been close to equal. To me, anyhow.
Another question, if all animals came from the ark, how did they get spaced across the whole world. Did they get moved at the same time humans did from Babel. Seems unlikely snakes crossed a frozen bridge to North America. Logs seem unlikely for a snake or some other animals. That is thousands of miles. How would they survive that trip. Not much food on a log
Very simple ,continents split apart carrying them all along.
@@obiecanobie919 Not without steam cooking them.
I see a world of after shocks, Hurricanes and wild temperature swings as the Earth seeks equilibrium. A large continent in one hemisphere would affect orbit and tilt...I think both would change as the planet's weight Is redistributed.
The ice age was more likely caused by the collapse of the canopy if it was composed of very-high-density amorphous ice, too dense to float, falling in at the magnetic poles. Post flood there would not have been time for the massive amounts of fauna to build up that died suddenly in the ice age. Also, the fauna, such as mammoths, were frozen instantly. It was far too cold for snow to have been the cause of mammoths freezing before food could be digested in their stomachs.
Being too dense to float, the very-high-density amorphous ice would remain on the ground, under water, during the flood, even causing the development of permafrost, before the flood receded. It is so cold that it would have easily frozen all of the fauna where it stood.
This isn't some crazy notion. We actually observe very-high-density amorphous ice on Ganymede falling from space and being funneled toward the magnetic poles of the moon.
Ronald Small brother Ronald! Whats happenin' sir?
@@patldennis Wrong.You're just parroting what you've been bullshitted too about kid.
Great Theory. Ive thought about this too..Such rapid freezing has puzzled me and until I heard the rapid subduction theory. Perhaps the lands moved quickly into the polar regions. Most of these animals are found in mud..frozen but mud..could they have been killed earlier in the event and the land was hauling ass north. No time for scavenging as everything was dealing with their own problems. Animals killed, quickly buried in mud as the land freezes....maybe 🤔
@@billcat1840 Thanks. My idea has a lot more detail to it as well, but I have never taken the time to write it all down. For instance, where the magnetic north pole sort of dances around over Canada (not over the north pole axis) is where the actual center of the ice age was. The ice age wasn't centered over the axis pole. Too bad I can't attach an image here of the maps. This is explainable by very-high-density-amorphous-ice, which would have fallen toward the magnetic, not axial pole, so the center of the freezing would be there. Canada. Another phenomenon this could have caused, due to a heavy bombardment in one spot, may explain the 23 degree tilt of the earth. Just an idea.
I also go on to have an idea as to why the year is 365 days and not 360 as I surmise it may have been pre-flood.
Dr. Wise, I have learned a great deal about geology and paleontology from your lectures, and I greatly appreciate them. However, I do have one minor geographical/archaeology disagreement. At 1:02:44 you mentioned Lot and the plain of the Jordan, and, if I understand correctly, how that is now the Dead Sea.
That does seem to be the consensus among many archaeologists, but I have been studying this for many years, and I am reasonably certain that area is still located in the plain of the Jordan, and not within the Dead Sea. Archaeologists, like other scientists and historians, tend to be "victimized" from time-to-time by groupthink, which I believe to be the case here. Other examples of archaeological groupthink include Champollion's hasty claim that Shoshenq was the bibilical Shishak, and Kathleen Kenyon's dogmatic claim that what was believed to be Jericho before her time, was NOT Jericho, a claim that was possibly based on faulty dates derived from Champollion's earlier claim.
In any case, a 2017 Journal of Creation article by Anne Habermehl summarized much of what I have learned and come to believe over the years. The summary of Part I reads,
_"It is most likely that the ruins of the cities of the plain are located along a narrow strip of wasteland on the west side of the Jordan River, just north of the Dead Sea. This conclusion is arrived at mainly from the various mentions of the cities from Scripture. It is shown that other claimed locations around the Dead Sea cannot be Sodom." [Anne Habermehl, "Sodom Part I." Journal of Creation, 31(2); August, 2017, p.59]_
Earlier in the article, she stated:
_"We quote [Steven] Collins on this window of visibility: 'I am intimately familiar with what can and cannot be seen from practically every vantage point between Ai and the edge of the Jordan Valley to the east. The southern Jordan Valley north of the Dead Sea and the foothills on the eastern edge of the Jordan Valley are easily visible from that area. On a clear day, you can even see a portion of the northern end of the Dead Sea itself. But under no circumstances or by any stretch of the imagination can you see with the naked eye beyond that point to the middle (Lisan) regions or the southern end of the Dead Sea. The vantage point of the area of Bethel and Ai is a bit of evidence that should not be passed over lightly.'" [Ibid. p.53]_
While Anne doesn't agree with the location Collins chose for Sodom, she does agree with his on-site observation of the what Lot might have seen, as do I.
In Part II, Anne adds:
_"This high level of the Dead Sea at the time of the cities' destruction has obvious implications for claims by some that the remains of the cities were under the southern end of the Dead Sea (as discussed in part 1). The cities cannot have ever been under water because at the time of the cities' destruction, the Dead Sea was at its highest level in historical times. This high level is also implicated in the next section on the Vale of Siddim." [Ibid. "Sodom Part II." p.72]_
For the record, Josephus also claimed the land of Sodom "borders upon" the Dead Sea, not in it, and adds that the traces [or shadows] of the five cities were still visible in his day:
_"The nature of the lake Asphaltitis is also worth describing. It is, as I have said already, bitter and unfruitful. It is so light [or thick] that it bears up the heaviest things that are thrown into it; nor is it easy for any one to make things sink therein to the bottom, if he had a mind so to do . . . The country of Sodom borders upon it. It was of old a most happy land, both for the fruits it bore and the riches of its cities, although it be now all burnt up. It is related how, for the impiety of its inhabitants, it was burnt by lightning; in consequence of which there are still the remainders of that Divine fire, and the traces [or shadows] of the five cities are still to be seen, as well as the ashes growing in their fruits; which fruits have a color as if they were fit to be eaten, but if you pluck them with your hands, they dissolve into smoke and ashes. And thus what is related of this land of Sodom hath these marks of credibility which our very sight affords us." [Flavius Josephus, "The Complete Works: Wars of the Jews." Christian Classics Ethereal Library, 1934, Book IV.8.4, pp.1379-80]_

I endorse most of this, but some I disagree with such as animals changing species super rapidly after the flood.
Is there any info on the pyramids?
I’m confused by the info about Arphaxad living 400 years. I though that according to Scripture, after the flood, a man’s lifespan was only 120 years.
How old is the Earth in your view
About 6 thousand years old......scientists have shown conclusive evidence of a young earth.
ozowen and you know soooo much for certain. What’s living on the bottom of the ocean, huh Slappy?
@@ozowen5961 You obviously failed science and math as did Bill Nye the science guy.
@@ozowen5961 God was the witness. There could be no other witness. That is sufficient proof.
This was one of many cycles, IMO .. The Original text of the Torah translates to .. God tells Adam and Eve, to “Go and REpopulate the Earth” .
I always believed that we had one land mass before the flood the separation of the land was part of the world disruption that was the floods so often we forget that the earth was broken up with the waters under the earth coming up
If you look at world map the continent’s look like they came apart at one point ,if could push them back like legos they very much fit in one big land mass .Sedimentary record is only small portion of the equation .
@@ozowen5961 Not at all. You are thinking of a Flood model where the water rises gently. This was tsunami after tsunami in great waves that eroded the surface off progressively and redeposited it great mud waves. Once again you Flood deniers tilt at strawmen like Don Quixote.
Magma and friction would have boiled the water into a scalding hurricane that would pressure cook a mythological wooden boat into soggy pulp
@mr Sandman , Enough heat would have been generated to turn the entire crust of the earth into a molten mass. You can’t compress 4.5 billion years of tectonic activity into a few hundred.
Very engaging.
The continental break up would alter climate and ocean currents. It would be a new world.
Probably a silly question - but how did the flood recede and how long did it take to do so, and did some of the waters evaporate or find its way to oceans? The Bible speaks of the Ark landing on a mountain in Turkey. I wondered whether those poor animals managed to survive on a mountain top and for how long? Fascinating stuff! Actually, what he says immediately makes logical sense, and it’s a relief to not hear the usual smokescreen of billions of years being trotted out. Even as a Christian I settled on the idea that the earth was billions of years old because that was what I was taught in school. The six days of creation sounded implausible, but then I came to the conclusion that God can do anything He wishes, so who am I to argue with Him? He created time and space, so He is the Boss. Hugh Ross, the astrophysicist, is a Christian, but He believes the earth was around for billions of years, but he does explain the fine tuning of our moon in relation to our planet and its life, which only God our Creator could do.
The over all general explaination of what happened to the waters after the flood is that they didnt leave earth or anything. During the cataclysm that caused the flood, the continents were pushed upwards and after they were pushed high enough the waters receded around them and settled into our oceans. Alot of which froze and rained down as snow at first since it was blasted high into the atmosphere, and that's what caused our actual ice age.
The Earth is still 70+% flooded.
The water goes up and comes back down,
over and over. 😊
It must be remembered that the mud form these mud flows is not something the ladies in the beauty shop would want to put their customers faces. It is truly a mixed bag of material whose main property is enough turbulence to keep these solids in a plastic suspension. One of the modern metal cutting techniques is the water jet table for cutting plate stock. This is done at very high pressure through a very hard abrasion resistant nozzle. However, the cutting medium is not water despite the name. The cutting medium is an abrasive slurry that is suspended in water. In conventional geology, glaciers scour bedrock as they slowly move down slope. This is like sand paper on a geologic scale. However, a mud flow can produce a similar result except there is no moraine where the glacier finally melts and drops the suspended material. Using just those two examples it is easy to see how academics can misinterpret conditions in the field. Yes, superman's x-ray vision would have helped here, but one also has to understand the politics of science and how mistakes take on a life of their own and are exceptionally hard to kill. Academics who championed half baked ideas will fight tooth and nail to defend their reputations. An embarrassment reflects not only on the academic but also the institution that employs him/her and grant money that goes elsewhere.

The waters of the flood filled in the sinking ocean basin. The sea floor material is more dense and heavier than the continental material. Hydraulic force in the fluid mantle pushed up the continents. That is what caused the flood basalts and huge uplifts, mountain ranges.
Of course as the ocean basin was sinking the massive sheets of flood water ran off the continents causing massive erosion as the water level neared the surface.
Thousands of pyramids worldwide. Were they built prior to Noah's flood and before Pangaea splitting??? Please do a video on pre flood structures that didn't get destroyed or buried.
My guess is that those ziggurats and pyramids were post-flood structures built by people who were utterly terrified by the prospect of another flood.
Rebound eh? Maybe, but I think the lunar tidal forces also pull at the continents and that could be lifting them slightly when the moon passes over them. Then drop down when goes around to the other side of earth. Perhaps you should try match that activity to lunar positioning. I'm not trying to argue, but scienc looks at facts. I want more facts.
And all the animals stepped from the Ark and walked back home.
I dont comprehend your logic that a log mat would only have two logs or not be stable to walk around on. Loggers walk on log mats all the time. Your bigger issue is how do they survive floating out at sea for months till they get to an island.

CHRISTINA , his name is .............. DR UNWISE
Here is my issue with post flood world and the story of Noah. First issue, if the global flood was so devastating then it must have wiped out vegetation and trees. Trees in mass quantity such as the Brazilian rain forest provide high levels of oxygen how did people and animals live. What did grazing animals feed on and carnivores feed on. A small flood wouldn’t destroy trees and vegetation but a flood that was capable of carving the Grand Canyon had to be so epic and strong and required earthquakes and upheaval of the ocean floors I just don’t see how that could leave any plant life.
One question about time are we talking biblical time or modern time 1yr = 1k yrs? The flood was GOD creation wouldn't we use his time span
The creation event is expressed as specifically days. The whole flood event was expressed as specifically at a year.
its not straight because electric current. and it can cut through bedrock in seconds. did you notice any electic phenomenon during the Mt St Helen's eruption ?
