| ARTICLES RELATED TO Flood geology | | | |  Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The floodThe Genesis narrative states that on the seventeenth day of the second month of the 600th year of Noah's life, the "fountains of the great deep" and "windows of heaven" broke open, bringing on the deluge -- both from 40 days of rain and a subterranean water source.
Genesis gives a specific timeline for the flood. The flood was sent in the 600th year of Noah's life. Then “the floodgates of the heavens were opened” (Genesis 7:11, 16). An incessant torrential downpour followed for “forty days and forty nights”; “the waters cont ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Geology of the Death Valley area - A Carbonate shelf forms The sandy mudflats gave way about 550 mya to a carbonate platform which lasted for the next 300 million years of Paleozoic time. Sediment accumulated on the new but slowly subsiding continental shelf for an extremely long time; all through the remaining Paleozoic and into the Early Mesozoic. Erosion had so subdued nearby parts of the continent that rivers ran clear, no longer supplying abundant sand and silt to the continental shelf. At the time, the Death Valley area's position was then within ten or twenty degrees of the Paleozoic equator. ...

| | | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Theology The Biblical account asserts that God sent the flood because mankind had become completely corrupt, and the heart of mankind was full of sin, so God regretted having made mankind, and decided to wipe it out, saving only Noah and his household, because he found Noah to be a just and righteous man. (Genesis 6:6). This raises a number of theological issues regarding the nature of God.
Critics of the story find the idea of an all-good, all-powerful God destroying humanity and all other life on the planet (except Noah, his family and the animals on the Ark of course), simply because He was displeased with them, highly qu ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Geology of the Death Valley area - Change to active margin and uplift The western edge of the North American continent was later pushed against the oceanic plate under the Pacific Ocean. An area of great compression called a subduction zone was thus formed in the early to mid Mesozoic, which replaced the quiet, sea-covered continental margin with erupting volcanoes and uplifting mountains. A chain of volcanoes pushed through the continental crust parallel to the deep trench, fed by magma rising from the subducting oceanic plate as it entered the Earth's hot interior. Thousands of feet (hundreds of meters) of l ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Geology of the Death Valley area - Extension creates the Basin and Range Starting around 16 mya in Miocene time and continuing into the present, a large part of the North American Plate in the region has been under extension by literally being pulled apart.[24] Debate still surrounds the cause of this crustal stretching, but an increasingly popular idea among geologists called the slab-gap hypothesis states that the spreading zone of the subducted Farallon Plate is pushing the continent apart. Whatever the cause, the ...

| | | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Geology of the Death Valley area - Volcanism and valley-fill sedimentation Igneous activity associated with the extension occurred from 12 to 4 mya.[28] Both intrusive (plutonic/solidified underground) and extrusive (volcanic/solidified above ground) igneous rocks were created. Basaltic magma followed fault lines to the surface and erupted as cinder cones such as Split Cinder Cones and lava flows. Other times, heat from magma migrating close to the surface would superheat overlaying groundwater until it exploded not unlike an ex ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - After the flood After several months, water began to subside, and the Ark came to rest on "the mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4). That statement is more ambiguous than the question "where in those mountains?" would suggest, and some hoaxes and misconceptions involve these ambiguities. After waiting another forty days, Noah sent forth a dove to see if there was dry land for it to land on, but it returned. He waited seven more days, and sent it again, and it returned with an olive leaf. After another week, he sent it out yet again, but this time it did not return. He knew then that the time had come to disembark -- a year an ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Modern searches The most popular locations for searches are somewhere in the mountains of Ararat (Ağrı Dağı in Turkish) and most specifically Mount Judi (Cudi Dağı in Turkish) in the Ararat range in eastern Turkey.
In 1840, a large earthquake struck Eastern Turkey. Some who climbed Ararat to build emergency baracades against the snow reported to have seen a strange boat-like object up the peak. In 1876, an English explorer named James Bryce climbed the mountain and found a five foot slab of hand-hewn timber at a summit where no trees had grown. The sample deteriorated into splin ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Biblical literalism and the Ark narrative Many conservative Christians (especially in the United States) and Orthodox Jews are believers in Biblical inerrancy, the concept that the Bible, as the word of God, does not set out to mislead, and hence should be interpreted literally whenever there is no clear reason for any other reading. They also tend to trust in traditions regarding the composition of the Bible. Literalists therefore generally accept the traditional Jewish belief that the Ark narrative in Genesis was written by Moses. There is less agreement on when Moses lived, and thus on when the Ark story was written - various dates have bee ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Modern allusions In Western culture, the image of Noah's Ark with its many animals has taken on the symbolism of the effort to preserve wildlife.
In 1976, a movie called In Search Of Noah's Ark was released. It was based on a book by Charles Balsiger and David Sellier documenting accounts of those who claimed to have seen the Ark. One of the most detailed came from an Armenian named George Hagopian. Shortly before his death in 1972, Hagopian gave a detailed account of how as a child he climbed to the top of Noah's Ark. He said that in 19 ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The ark According to Genesis, the Ark was built of a mysterious "gopher wood". It has been suggested that it is related to the Hebrew word kopher (pitch), or was at one time kopher but miscopied. If so, it would mean that the Ark was made of wood of a specific tree (that is now unknown) and treated with pitch. The 'resinous wood' prescribed in Genesis 6:14 is thought by some to be cypress or a similar tree. In Noah's part of the world, what is today called cypress was in abundant supply; it was particularly favored for shipbuild ...

| | | | | Flood geology: Encyclopedia II - William Buckland - Early life and university Buckland was born at Axminster in Devon, and as a child would accompany his father, the Rector of Templeton and Trusham, on his walks where interest in road improvements led to collecting fossil shells, including ammonites, from the Jurassic lias rocks exposed in local quarries.
He won a scholarship in 1801 to study for the ministry at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, also attending the lectures of John Kidd on mineralogy and chemistry, as well as developing an interest in geology and carrying out field research on strata during vacati ...

God, seeing that man had become dedicated to evil, decided to flood the earth and destroy all life. However, He found one good man, Noah, and as he was a "righteous man, blameless among the people of his time", God decided that he would carry forth the lineage of man. God told Noah to make an ark, and to bring with him his wife, and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives. Additionally, he was to bring pairs of all living creatures, male and ...
