Noahs Flood explained and Evolution refuted.

[Hobie]

This is very good explanation of Noah's Flood and the resulting evidence across the world basically refuting Evolution.

Okay, I gave up after fifteen minutes because it was such a confusing, jumbled mess of catastrophes. I mean, I get the impression that all these things happened so fast and were so bad that nothing survived, and we're not really here.

Perhaps somebody who thinks they understand what was going on in the video can explain a part (any part) that refutes evolution.

Now, under the assumption that the global flood actually happened, I'd like to point out that there would have to be a great amount of evolution afterwards, enough to produce the millions of species we have today from the thousands of "kinds" that would be on the ark. A much greater amount of evolution than biologists would actually consider possible in such a short time frame.

Worse, it sounded to me like the video was saying that the last ice age (as well as other catastrophes) happened right after the flood, killing off many critters... that wouldn't be there because they hadn't populated the regions after leaving the ark yet. And that would make population spread extremely difficult.

I haven't viewed this but am interested in the imprint gained by reading your remarks.

A few years ago I found this one by GA:

I found it to be quite coherent, partly by hearing Dr. Montgomery, UW, at the same time, his speech at Harvard on the church's role in the history of preserving geologic information.

As for the replacement of things through evolution, I see you assume that is how things work, and that would mean you would not accept the completed, thriving, nearly-instant scene we find in Genesis, in which all species 'swarm with swarms' (the literal Hebrew), and populate quickly. This is a separate question from the age of the earth, so I call myself an RCW (recent creation week) in which the age of the sphere might be longer for other reasons (not those of the materialist view of the universe).

One thing I have never understood from materialist readers of Genesis is why they miss that, one way or another, there is a miraculous element in which the normal process is altered, speeded, suspended. If we find a 'normal' explanation, fine, but the scale and scope of the text is far beyond that.

At the Alaska state museum, a line about the natural history is "mega-flora was suddenly encased in mile-deep ice." Imagine the hydrological conditions to achieve that; it's about 95% of what Genesis said.

Well, you'd have to ask a materialist about that. I'm not one. I'm okay with miraculously speeding things up. But supernaturally speeding up evolution so that the various species develop enough is still evolution. So "debunking" evolution doesn't make a lot of sense if there needs to be a lot of evolution going on.

I don't want to split hairs but if the day of creation week about marine life was 12 hours of creative activity and the varieties were all formed at the end of the day, I can't see a problem. For ex., notice the 'stages' in Gen 2 of creating man. Or the 'stages' of restoring sight in Jn 9.

So long as the Hebrew phrase 'swarm with swarms' is preserved; that means there were abundant, complete, thriving creatures in connection with many others at the completion of a day. The opposite of evolution.

I was talking about after the great flood. (As is the OP.)

I understand; I was trying to visualize a similar thing happening after the flood. For ex., if you study Ps 104, you may find it difficult to distinguish which one he is referring to. There is another psalm like that, too.

Well, the situations are quite different. It's a creation event versus a repopulation situation.
