The flood - can we believe it? Pieter Voges

The event of the Biblical Flood was so immense, few would believe it. How can the earth have experienced a catastrophic event on such a scale! It seems impossible. The world is stable, and we don't expect to have natural disasters that could pose a threat to many millions or even billions of people. There are many questions around such a global event. It may seem impossible. Could such a flood have happened? If we are to believe the Bible, we must be sure. Is there evidence of such past events on the earth?

The following chapters deal with building our faith in this catastrophic event: The history of catastrophic and even life extinction events as is evident from scientific evidence is shown. The earth experienced many asteroid and meteor impacts in the past, as can be shown from evidence. There are some interesting facts that scientists now agree with concerning the American Channelled Scablands that are discussed. A further fact about underground rivers, lakes, and even perhaps an ocean is shown. We are aware of sinkholes caused by these, of which some are massive. We have seen a tsunami recently that wiped out some islands. NASA is also aware of near-earth objects that can cause massive damage, and one that did crash through the atmosphere is discussed. The Bible also prophesied about a future catastrophic event that can now be supported by scientific evidence of what happened on other planets. With this in mind, chapter three can now provide a credible explanation of what happened during the Biblical flood. One aspect that evolutionists completely ignore is the fact that the earth's atmosphere can change due to such a major catastrophic event. Chapter four deals with what is shown in the Bible about atmospheric differences in pre and post Flood earth. In Chapter five we look into the aftermath of the Biblical flood, and how the situation for humanity changed.
By now the Biblical account of the flood should be quite clear and believable!
