| | Modern scientists long opposed a young earth [[creation|created]] by God whereby cataclysmic flooding, such as the [[Great Flood]] described in the Bible, shaped the landscape. However, ample [[counterexamples to an old earth]] exist and the discovery in the Northwest of "giant ripple marks, 50 feet high and 200-500 feet apart" proved that a cataclysmic flood in that region indeed occurred during the Ice Age. As a result, among geologists, the concept of catastrophic Ice-Age floods came to be accepted by the late 1950s.<ref>http://www.iafi.org/floods.html Ice Age Floods Intitute on the Pacific Northwest's Ice-Age Flood</ref> | | Modern scientists long opposed a young earth [[creation|created]] by God whereby cataclysmic flooding, such as the [[Great Flood]] described in the Bible, shaped the landscape.

| − | Only in moderns times have scientists become aware of enormous underwater springs feeding into the oceans, and the very deep valleys at the bottom of the oceans. But the Bible repeatedly describes this thousands of years earlier: "on that very day '''the deep fountains of the Earth were broken up''', and the windows of the sky were thrown open." ([[Genesis_1-8_%28Translated%29#Chapter_7|Genesis 7:11 (CBP)]], emphasis added).
