Did Noah’s Flood Reach
America?
(Continued from page 9)
What animal exists today that we can
compare with those reptile-footed beasts,
Diplodocus and Brontosaurus. ‘Think of
animals weighing nearly forty tons and
more than eighty-six feet in length! Yet
such animals once roamed on the earth.
Dr. W. D. Matthew says: “The cutting
off of this giant dinosaur dynasty was
nearly if not quite simultaneous the world
over.” ‘Those who do not hold to a world
cataclysm are at a loss to know how to
explain this simultaneous, world-wide
extinction. Professor Lull, in speaking
of the dinosaurs, says: ‘One of the most
inexplicable of events is the dramatic
extinction of this mighty race.”
VIOLENCE OF THE REAL FLOOD
HE Bible Flood was so violent in
nature that all life in the ocean it-
self seemed doomed to destruction. Fossil
fish are found entombed in whole shoals
in various parts of the earth. In Scot-
land there is a fossil-fish region of nearly
ten thousand square miles, in which
countless thousands of fish show un-
mistakable signs of having been buried
alive! Hugh Miller, the old Scotch
geologist, says of these fish: “The figures
are contorted, contracted, curved, the
tail in many instances is bent round to
the head; the spines stick out; the fins
are spread to the full, as in fish that die
in convulsions.”
Ferns and delicate tropical plants
have been discovered in fossil beds near
the arctic circle which tell that once a
very mild climate existed at the “top
of the world.” In Siberia, mammoths
have been dug out of ice banks with their
flesh in such a remarkable state of
preservation that explorers have fed
their dogs on this meat kept in cold
storage since Noah's Flood! Undigested
grass has been found in these animal’s
stomachs. Some terrible catastrophe sud-
denly overtook these grazing beasts,
and just as suddenly was the Edenic
climate of the antediluvian world
blasted with the shivers of arctic winter.
In every part of the world, on the high-
est mountains, fossil sea shells are to be
found. When was the ocean over the
tops of the mountains but at the time of
the Bible Deluge?
The Flood of Noah was the most
stupendous physical event in all history.
But our modern theologians and scien-
tists have minimized the Flood into a
local catastrophe. The real evidence
of this Flood in the rocks all over the
world has been ignored.
Peter says of this class of people who
were to appear in the last days: ‘‘For
this they willingly are ignorant of, that
by the word of God the heavens were of
old, and the earth standing out of the
~water and in the water: whereby the
world that then was, being overflowed
with water, perished.” 2 Peter 3:5, 6.
AUGUST, 1929
The Greek word here translated
“world’’ is cosmos and means arrange-
ment. The arrangement of the Edenic
world ‘“ perished’’ or was violently dis-
rupted. When the Flood was over, and
the earth appeared above the waters
again, it was denuded of its once luxuri-
ant vegetation, mighty forests, and
beautiful verdure. The forests were
buried and were in the process of chang-
ing into coal. The shoals of buried fish
were either undergoing fossilization in
the earth or were in the process of turn-
ing into oil. On top of the earth, rock and
slime, gullies, caverns, canyons—all ugly
scars—greeted Noah and his family. And
while today many of these scars have
been covered up by a new vegetation,
we need only to dig underneath our
feet past the soil formed since the Flood
to find the unmistakable evidences of a
world catastrophe just like the Book of
Genesis describes, but which the modern
world disbelieves and discounts, and
for it substitutes at the most a local
inundation of a river or two in the
Mesopotamian valley!
Let us be careful that we are not
found willingly ignorant of the power
of God's word by discounting what it
did at creation, at the Flood, and what
it will do in the near future to the
heavens and the earth that now exist,
which “by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire against the day
of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men.” 2 Peter 3:7.
