mLine 1:
Line 1: − − Flood Geology, although accepted within the some of the Christian faith, is not widely accepted in most of modern science. Most Geologists accept gradualist approaches to geology, rather than a global flood. Much of the evidence cited by Flood "Geologists" is in question, and it should be noted that more traditional views of Geology are better substantiated. Nonetheless, Flood Geology has several hypotheses which offer alternatives to better supported theories. Line 64:
Line 62: − + − Flood Geology, despite it's merits, falls into conflict with normal scientific theories and values. Much of the evidence cited by Flood geologists has alternative explanations in the world of modern geology, paleontology, and biology. Most evidence points toward traditional geologic views, mainly that most of earth's features (argued by Flood Geology to have been created very quickly by a great Flood) were in fact shaped over a long period of time by such processes as erosion, plate tectonics, earthquakes, and other large and small geologic events. Another oddity in Flood geology is the absence of uniform evidence for said Flood all over the Earth's surface. Areas such as Washington's "Scablands" show what large amounts of water do to the surface of the Earth in rapid sudden movement, yet such formations are not seen many other places on earth. The layering of fossils also stands as an affront to Flood Geology. According to the Genesis Legend, all fauna present on earth died out. However, the fossil record shows a progression of animals leading back in time, each becoming extinct at a specific time, with a few large extinctions. Evidence for a large, world wide extinction is not present in the fossil record for such a recent time as cited by the Genesis Flood story.+

'''Flood geology''' is the study of the Earth's geology from the point of view that the Earth's geology was radically redefined by a [[Great Flood|global flood]] in the relatively recent past, as recorded in [[Genesis]], as well as the scores of flood stories in other cultures throughout the world.<ref>http://www.icr.org/article/570/</ref>

== Common Criticisms ==
Critics claim that there is not enough water on the Earth to actually cause a worldwide flood, or ever has been; in addition, many archaeological records (notably tree-ring records and the records of various early civilizations, including Egypt and Sumeria) stretch through the period of time most often given as that of the Great Flood, without any actual reference to such an event.<ref>For a summary of other criticisms, see http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html</ref>
