Noah’s Flood: Key to Understanding the Age of the Earth

Noah’s Flood: Key to Understanding the Age of the Earth (Part 1)

Summary

If the rock layers found all over the earth are a result of a global flood then they cannot also be evidence for slow deposition over millions of years. An understanding of what the Flood was like and what it could accomplish (geologically) is a key to understanding the age of the Earth.
The Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model is discussed as a mechanism operating during the Flood to explain many large scale geologic features observed today.

Summary

Some details about the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model introduced in Episode 15 are discussed. This model provides Christians with a reasonable explanation to challenges from skeptics regarding the origin of the earth’s large scale geologic features as well as providing a picture of the incredible forces occurring on and beneath the earth during the Flood.
