Earth’s Surface Shaped by
Receding Floodwater
July 17th at 7PM
Description: The talk first discusses what the Bible says about how the Floodwater drained
from off the continents. Then geological evidence for parts of the Earth’s crust rising and parts
descending to drain the Floodwater is presented. Geological evidence of sheet currents flowing
off the continents is shown in the form of huge erosion of domes and the erosional remnants left
behind. All the eroded sediment is deposited at the margin of the continents forming the
continental shelf and slope. As the water is moving off the continents, sometimes at high speed,
a rough surface is planed smooth by the debris being carried along by the Floodwater. These
surfaces are called planation surfaces, if they are flat, and erosion surfaces, if they are rolling. A
veneer of the debris is commonly left on top of the planation or erosion surfaces as a thin layer
of cobbles and boulders. These rounded rocks from water action sometimes contain percussion
marks caused by all the intense turbulence of the draining Floodwater. At the same time,
resistant rocks are carried long distances from their sources, documented from the northwest
states and adjacent Canada for transport distances of up to 800 miles. All these features are
difficult if not impossible to explain by the alternative ideas of mainstream geologists.
About the Speaker: Michael J. Oard is a creation scientist with a specialization in
Atmospheric Science. He is a prolific author who has published numerous books and papers
in widely recognized creationist and secular journals. He worked for close to 30 years as a
meteorologist/weather forecaster with the (US) National Weather Service, and now dedicates
much of his time to creation science research. Mike's research interested have focused
primarily on topics such as evidence for Noah's flood, the Ice Age, and the mass extinction of
the Woolly Mammoths. He speaks regularly at creation conferences and other venues and
has served on the board of directors of the Creation Research Society since 2001.
The Apologetics Symposium will occur on the 3rd Thursday each month, and feature multimedia presentations by speakers,
scientists, and authors who are dedicated to defending the Bible against naturalism. The events are free and open to the public
and generally suitable for ages 11 and up. Educational resources will be available for sale from the NW Creation Network.
