Power of Past Super-Floods

What evidence do we see that a global Flood devastated the earth’s surface
during Noah’s day—on a scale unlike anything we see today? It seems unbelievable,
unless you consider how much dirt water can move. In our own backyards,
small floods can deposit layers of dirt on a tiny scale. Bigger floods produce bigger
layers. Scientists have found evidence of massive deposits from past
floods—on a statewide and regional scale—that dwarfed any we see today. How about
evidence of a Flood on a worldwide scale?

Global Flood

Scientists admit that massive floods in the past—on a
scale bigger than anything we see today—deposited
hundreds of feet of layers in just weeks. But few have
considered the next logical scale. Is it possible that a
global Flood, lasting over a year, deposited thousands
of feet of the fossil-bearing layers we see today across
whole continents? Noah’s Flood could easily deposit
10,000,000 cubic miles of gravel, sand, and mud.

1 Cubic Mile =

• 1,614 Great Pyramids of Giza
• 3,978 Empire State buildings
• 4,705,065 Boeing 747 jets

State-Size Floods

The drainage of glacial Lake
Missoula formed the Columbia
River Gorge soon after the Flood,
requiring only a few days to erode
and deposit almost 50 cubic miles
of gravel, sand, and mud.

Region-Size Floods

The drainage of Canyonlands Lake and
other lakes, formed in the western US
soon after the Flood, required only a
few weeks to erode the Grand Canyon
and deposit about 1,000 cubic miles of
gravel, sand, and mud downstream.

County-Size Floods

The eruption of Mount St.
Helens in 1980 eroded and
deposited 0.7 cubic miles of
sand and mud in seconds.
