The theory of an '''Ice Age''' was first proposed in the mid-1800s and was widely rejected by leading scientists. But, like the politically motivated claims of [[global warming]], the Ice Age theory became useful to [[liberals]] seeking to cast doubt on the [[Flood]] as the explanation for numerous geological observations. Indeed, the primary effect of the Ice Age theory today is to misleadingly pull students away from learning about the Flood and the overwhelming evidence for it in the geological record, such as the "giant ripple marks, 50 feet high and 200-500 feet apart."<ref>http://www.iafi.org/floods.html</ref> | The theory of an '''Ice Age''' was first proposed in the mid-1800s and was widely rejected by leading scientists.
