About Flood: Geographical evidence points to a global flood that coincides with the Genesis account of Noahs Ark 1)Global flood evidences include: The earths features (such as mountains, canyons, regional stratigraphy (large-scale single rock beds), soft bending of rock strata, etc.) require some type of catastrophic explanation. Sedimentary rock formations (formed through water deposition) cover substantial portions of North America and other continents. There is no evidence that coal, oil, or ore deposits are being formed today, yet massive deposits are found in the earth. Likewise, the earth contains many great fossil beds, none of which appear to be forming today either. Fossils require rapid burial to be preserved. Ocean fossils are found at high altitudes on all five continents. Exceptions in the geologic column indicate that it was not formed in a gradual manner, such as the appearance of single trees that extend vertically through multiple ages. 2.There are other, non-geological, evidences that point to a start (or rebirth) of the earth approximately five to ten thousand years ago, as would be the case if a global flood has occurred. The origin of civilization is generally agreed to be in the Middle East, which is where Noahs Ark landed. The Middle East just happens to be a good, centrally located place from which to repopulate the world. The oldest written materials date back five to six thousand years. The first signs of civilization, things like pottery, agriculture, the domestication of animals, metallurgy, and the first cities are dated by secular scientists to approximately 10,000 years ago at the earliest. The oldest known living things, the Bristlecone pine trees in California, date to about 5,000 years ago. Study of the build up of human population makes it clear that humans have only existed for a few thousand years (not millions), even when the maximum likely effects of war, disease, disaster, and other population-reducing factors are considered. An analysis of 30,000 radiocarbon dating results published in the Radiocarbon journal shows an unmistakable spike in the death of living things about 5,000 years ago
