Evidence for the Global Flood of Noah
TRUTH CARRIERS EDUCATION SYSTEM
True Science Series - Adult/Teen Level
Modern geology is built on uniformitarianism—the assumption that "the present is the key to the past" and that geological processes have always occurred at the same slow rates we observe today.
But what if the evidence actually points to catastrophism—rapid, large-scale geological events?
This workbook examines:
Examine the evidence. Think critically. Let the rocks speak.
This workbook uses the 6 Rs Learning Method for deep understanding and long-term retention:
The principle that " is the key to the past."
Originated with James Hutton (1790s) and popularized by Charles in his 1830s work Principles of Geology.
Geological processes have always occurred at the same slow, gradual rates we observe today—over millions and billions of years.
The principle that Earth's features were largely shaped by sudden, -scale catastrophic events.
Before Lyell, most geologists accepted catastrophism and the biblical flood. Lyell deliberately sought to "free the science from "—his words.
Mainstream geology now acknowledges that sudden events DID shape Earth's history—asteroid impacts, mega-floods, volcanic catastrophes.
1. Uniformitarianism assumes:
○ A) Catastrophic events shaped Earth
○ B) Present processes explain the past at slow rates
○ C) The flood is scientific
○ D) Rapid changes occurred
2. Charles Lyell's stated goal was to:
○ A) Prove the Bible
○ B) Free geology from Moses
○ C) Study catastrophes
○ D) Support creation science
3. Neo-catastrophism acknowledges:
○ A) Only slow processes
○ B) Sudden catastrophic events in Earth history
○ C) No major floods
○ D) Millions of years only
1. Uniformitarianism has always been the dominant view in geology.
○ True ○ False - Correction:
2. Modern mainstream geology still rejects all catastrophism.
○ True ○ False - Correction:

Explain the difference between uniformitarianism and catastrophism to someone.
Person taught: Date:
"...the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished."
According to uniformitarianism, the Colorado River slowly carved the Grand Canyon over of years.
If millions of years passed between rock layers, we would expect significant between them. Instead, the layers lie flat against each other with minimal erosion.
Rock layers in the Grand Canyon are bent and folded without . This indicates they were still soft and pliable when bent—not hardened over millions of years.
The Canyon contains marine fossils at multiple levels, indicating the area was covered by repeatedly.
If the river carved the Canyon over millions of years, where is all the sediment? The that should exist isn't there.
The layers could have been deposited rapidly during a global flood, then carved quickly as floodwaters receded—similar to how canyons formed after Mount St. Helens.
1. Flat contacts between rock layers suggest:
○ A) Millions of years between layers
○ B) Rapid sequential deposition
○ C) Slow erosion
○ D) Nothing significant
2. Bent rock layers without fracturing indicate:
○ A) The rock was hard when bent
○ B) The rock was soft when bent
○ C) Millions of years passed
○ D) No bending occurred
Write four problems with the slow-formation story of the Grand Canyon.
Mount St. Helens provided a real-time laboratory for observing rapid geological processes.
In just (hours to days), the eruption carved canyons up to 600 feet deep through solid rock—processes that uniformitarians said required millions of years.
Pyroclastic flows deposited feet of finely laminated layers in just hours. These layers look identical to "ancient" rock formations said to have taken millions of years.
Floating log mats in Spirit Lake eventually waterlogged and sank, creating upright "forests" of buried logs—exactly like the "polystrate fossils" found in formations.
Wood and organic material began (turning to stone) in just years, not the millions of years typically claimed necessary.
1. Mount St. Helens carved 600-foot canyons in:
○ A) Millions of years
○ B) Thousands of years
○ C) Hours to days
○ D) Decades
2. The Spirit Lake log mats demonstrate how:

○ B) Polystrate fossils can form rapidly
○ C) Slow processes work
○ D) Nothing geological
3. Petrification at Mount St. Helens began in:
○ A) Millions of years
○ B) Thousands of years
○ C) Just years
○ D) Centuries
Write: What Mount St. Helens demonstrated about rapid canyon formation, layer deposition, and petrification.
Explain to someone why Mount St. Helens is important evidence against uniformitarianism.

Marine fossils—seashells, fish, coral—are found on the highest mountains on Earth.
| Location | Altitude | Fossils Found |

| Andes Mountains | Up to 22,000 ft | Brachiopods, marine fossils |
| Rocky Mountains | Various | Marine invertebrates |
| Alps | Various | Marine fossils throughout |
The ocean floor was uplifted over of years as tectonic plates collided.
A global flood covered the entire Earth, depositing marine fossils everywhere. Mountains rose and ocean basins sank the flood (Psalm 104:6-8).
Both explanations acknowledge that oceans once covered these areas. The debate is over —gradual over millions of years, or rapid during a catastrophe?
1. Marine fossils are found:
○ A) Only at sea level
○ B) On the highest mountains
○ C) Only in oceans
○ D) Nowhere significant
2. Both explanations agree that:
○ A) No water ever covered mountains
○ B) Water once covered these areas
○ C) Mountains were always dry
○ D) Fossils don't exist
Write: Evidence for marine fossils on mountains and two explanations for them.
For a creature to become a fossil, it must be:
Around the world, we find mass graveyards of fossilized animals—jumbled together, often in contorted positions suggesting violent, death and burial.
| Location | What's Found | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Dinosaur National Monument (USA) | Jumbled dinosaur bones | Rapid burial event |
| Ashfall Fossil Beds (Nebraska) | Complete rhinos in death poses | Catastrophic burial |
| Chile Whale Graveyard | Multiple whale skeletons | Rapid mass death |
| Mazon Creek (Illinois) | Mixed marine/land species | Catastrophic mixing |
"Polystrate" fossils are trees or organisms that pass through rock layers—layers supposedly separated by millions of years.
These fossils prove the layers were deposited , not over vast ages.

○ A) Slow burial over time
○ B) Rapid burial
○ C) No burial
○ D) Only water
2. Polystrate fossils prove:
○ A) Slow deposition over millions of years

○ B) Instant catastrophic burial
○ C) Normal death
○ D) No burial
Write: Requirements for fossilization. What polystrate fossils prove.
Paleontologist Mary Schweitzer discovered tissue in a T-rex femur supposedly 68 million years old.
All known chemistry indicates that soft tissue, proteins, and DNA cannot survive for of years—even under ideal conditions.
Since 2005, soft tissue has been found in multiple dinosaur specimens:
Carbon-14 has a half-life of ~5,730 years. After ~100,000 years, it should be completely .
Yet C-14 has been detected in dinosaur bones—bones supposedly 65+ million years old.
If dinosaurs really died 65+ million years ago, how do soft tissue and C-14 still exist?
These findings are consistent with dinosaurs dying thousands, not millions, of years ago—during the global flood.
1. Mary Schweitzer found in dinosaur bones:
○ A) Only mineralized fossils
○ B) Soft tissue and blood vessels
○ C) Nothing unusual
○ D) Only bones
2. Carbon-14 should be completely gone after:

○ B) ~100,000 years
○ C) 1 million years
○ D) Never
3. Finding C-14 in dinosaur bones suggests:

○ B) They are much younger than claimed
○ C) Nothing significant
○ D) Dinosaurs never existed
Write: What Mary Schweitzer found. Why soft tissue and C-14 are problems for millions of years.
Explain the dinosaur soft tissue discovery and its implications to someone.

Developed by Dr. Walt Brown, the Hydroplate Theory proposes a mechanism for the global flood.
The theory proposes that before the flood, there was a layer of subterranean trapped beneath a granite crust—approximately 10 miles deep.
When the crust ruptured along what is now the mid-oceanic ridges, this water erupted violently, causing:
