Remembering The Genesis Flood

by John C. Whitcomb

December 8, 2010

“A word fitly spoken” has incredible power (Proverbs 25:11). Burdened by the rampant disregard for God’s Word, two young men collaborated to write a book called simply The Genesis Flood. Fifty years later their shout still reverberates round the world. In February 1961 a small publisher in New Jersey—Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company—brought into this world a 518-page, somewhat ponderous, volume entitled The Genesis Food: The Biblical Record and Its Scientific Implications. The co-authors were a little-known theologian (myself) and a hydraulic engineer, Henry M. Morris. Little did we know what the future held for our new work. Conception The book was conceived in September 1953 at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana, where I had already been teaching for two years. At the time I accepted the gap theory of Genesis 1:1–2, which was very popular in Christian circles and was the view held by most of the seminary faculty. That changed when Dr. Henry Morris was invited to present a paper on “Biblical Evidence for a Recent Creation and Universal Deluge” to the American Scientific Affiliation, which met on campus. I was profoundly impressed with his paper. Later, I wrote him a letter explaining its influence on me: “I feel that your conclusions are scripturally valid, and therefore must be sustained by a fair examination of geologic evidence in time to come. My only regret is that so few trained Christian men of science are willing to let God’s Word have the final say on these questions . . . . I have adopted your views . . . and am presenting them to my class as preferable alternatives to the Gap Theory and the Day-Age Theory.”

Try this I believe it ties more of the geologic signs togethar...

Fountains of the Deep - the Flood of Noah; Earthquakes; 2 video series by Pastor Kevin Lea of Port Orchard Calvary Church in Port Orchard, OR [available on youtube videos] http://www.youtube.com/user/CalvaryChurchPO#p/c/11/XXQKSv5o_Po

The Flood is a 6 part series - about an hour iirc

Earthquakes is a 7 part series of events destined to happen with the end of days.

Ah yes. I forgot about the Fountains of the Deep. My bad.

RED :”Interesting site. Thanks.”

I like this part from that same book-site section ‘Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood: the Astronomical and Physical Sciences’ section:

‘Each planet is unique.’

It is ??

Now I see what Creationists mean by ‘suppressed evidence’

Who-da-guessed?

Best kept secret

LOL
