Evidence for Noah's Global Flood
TRUTH CARRIERS EDUCATION
Youth Edition (Ages 12-17)
In this workbook, you'll discover evidence that supports the biblical account of Noah's global flood:
There are two main ideas about how Earth's features formed:
This view says "the is the key to the past." It assumes everything happened slowly over of years.
This view says major features formed through sudden, -scale catastrophic events—like a global flood!
Charles Lyell popularized uniformitarianism in the 1830s. He openly admitted his goal was to "free the science from Moses"—meaning remove the biblical flood from geology!
Even mainstream science now accepts "neo-catastrophism"—that sudden events DID shape Earth's history (like asteroid impacts and mega-floods). Geologist Derek Ager wrote that Earth's history is "long periods of boredom and short periods of terror."
1. Uniformitarianism assumes:
○ A) Catastrophic events shaped Earth
○ B) The present is the key to 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
1. Modern mainstream geology still rejects all catastrophism.
○ True ○ False — Correction:
Close this workbook. Write from memory: What is uniformitarianism? What is catastrophism? What did Charles Lyell want to do?
"...the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished."
The standard story says the Colorado River slowly carved the Grand Canyon over of years. But there are serious problems with this!
If millions of years passed between rock layers, we'd expect significant between them. Instead, the layers lie flat against each other!
Rock layers in the Grand Canyon are bent without . This means they were still soft when bent—not hard over millions of years!
The Canyon contains fossils (from the ocean!) at multiple levels. The area was once covered by water.
If the river carved the Canyon over millions of years, where did all that rock go? 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 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 over time
○ 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) Slow processes
Close this workbook. List the four problems with the slow-formation story of the Grand Canyon.
The 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption gave scientists a real-time laboratory for observing rapid geological processes!
In just (hours to days!), the eruption carved canyons up to 600 feet deep—processes uniformitarians said required millions of years.
Pyroclastic flows deposited hundreds of feet of finely laminated layers in just . These layers look identical to "ancient" formations!
Floating log mats eventually sank, creating upright "forests" of buried logs—exactly like "polystrate " found in supposedly ancient rock formations.
Wood and organic material began turning to stone () in just YEARS—not the millions typically claimed!
"What we observed in days is what geologists have said required millions of years. The present rate is NOT always the key to the past."
1. Mount St. Helens carved 600-foot canyons in:
○ A) Millions of years
○ B) Thousands of years
○ C) Hours to days
○ D) Decades
2. Petrification at Mount St. Helens began in:
○ A) Millions of years
○ B) Thousands of years
○ C) Just years
○ D) Centuries
Explain to someone why Mount St. Helens is important evidence against uniformitarianism.

Marine fossils—seashells, fish, coral—are found on the mountains on Earth!
| Location | Altitude | Fossils Found |
|---|---|---|
| Mount Everest | 29,032 ft | Ammonites, marine shells |
| Andes Mountains | Up to 22,000 ft | Brachiopods, marine fossils |
| Rocky Mountains | Various | Marine invertebrates |
| Alps | Various | Marine fossils throughout |
Mainstream: The ocean floor was uplifted over millions of years as tectonic plates collided.
Biblical: A global flood covered the entire Earth, depositing marine fossils everywhere. Mountains rose and ocean basins sank AFTER the flood.
Both explanations agree water once covered these areas. The debate is about WHEN and HOW—gradual over millions of years, or rapid during a global catastrophe?
1. Marine fossils are found:
○ A) Only at sea level
○ B) On the highest mountains
○ C) Only in oceans
○ D) Nowhere significant
2. Psalm 104 says:
○ A) Mountains were always high
○ B) Waters stood above the mountains
○ C) No flood occurred
○ D) Only valleys flooded
List three locations where marine fossils are found on mountains.
For a creature to become a fossil, it must be:
Around the world, we find mass graveyards of fossils—jumbled together, often in contorted positions suggesting violent, death and burial.
| Location | What's Found | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Dinosaur National Monument | Jumbled dinosaur bones | Rapid burial event |
| Chile Whale Graveyard | Multiple whale skeletons | Rapid mass death |
| Mazon Creek, Illinois | Mixed marine/land species | Catastrophic mixing |
"Polystrate" fossils are trees that pass through rock layers—layers supposedly separated by millions of years. These prove the layers were deposited RAPIDLY!
1. Polystrate fossils prove:
○ A) Slow deposition over millions of years
○ B) Rapid deposition of multiple layers
○ C) Nothing significant
○ D) Evolution
2. Fish fossilized eating other fish show:
○ A) Slow processes
○ B) Instant catastrophic burial
○ C) Normal death
○ D) No burial
In 2005, paleontologist Mary Schweitzer discovered something shocking in a T-rex bone supposedly 68 million years old...
All known chemistry indicates that soft tissue, proteins, and DNA CANNOT survive for millions of years—even under ideal conditions. Soft tissue has now 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 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. Finding C-14 in dinosaur bones suggests:
○ A) They are billions of years old
○ B) They are much younger than claimed
○ C) Nothing significant
○ D) Dinosaurs never existed
Explain the dinosaur soft tissue discovery and its implications to someone.
Person taught: Date:
All radiometric dating methods rely on three critical assumptions:
| Sample | Known Age | Radiometric Date |
|---|---|---|
| Mount St. Helens rocks (1980) | ~10 years | 2.8 million years! |
| Living mollusk shells | Living | 2,300 years old! |
| Hawaiian lava (1801) | ~200 years | 1.4-22 million years! |
Radiometric dating is not as reliable as often presented. When the assumptions are wrong, the dates are wrong. Rocks of KNOWN age often date wildly incorrect!
1. Radiometric dating relies on:
○ A) Only one assumption
○ B) Three critical assumptions
○ C) No assumptions
○ D) Proven facts only
2. Mount St. Helens rocks (10 years old) dated at:
○ A) 10 years
○ B) 1,000 years
○ C) 2.8 million years
○ D) 10 million years
Write the three assumptions of radiometric dating.
The flood account in Genesis 6-8 describes:

"And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered."
