What the Bible Teaches
The Bible teaches that: God created the universe
approximately 6000 years ago, ex nihilo (out of nothing) in six literal, twenty-four hour
days. Then, approximately 4400 years ago, the earth was destroyed by a worldwide Flood.
This devastating, year-long Flood was responsible for the sediment layers being deposited
(the water was going and returning, Gen. 8:3-5). As the mountains rose and the ocean
basins sank after the Flood (Psalm 104:5-8, Gen. 8:1), the waters rushed off the rising
mountains into the new ocean basins. This rapid-erosion through still-soft, unprotected
sediments formed the topography we still see today, in places like Grandfather Mountain
and the Grand Canyon. The uniformitarian assumptionthat todays slow erosion
rates that take place through solid rock are the same as has always beenis faulty
logic, and ignores catastrophes like the Flood. (2 Pet. 3:3-8 says that the scoffers are
"willingly ignorant" of the Flood.)
