After watching a creation-science video explaining how the worldwide flood explains fossils on the continents, and even high on mountains, I wrote the following post to share it with others.[1] Perhaps you will find it helpful.
SCIENCE affirms the global flood described in God's history book, the Bible. Skeptics who claim this flood did not happen have ZERO scientific evidence to support their claim.
This fulfills EXACTLY what God wrote in his word:
First, “knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.” Yes, this is what it is about, that “people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil”, just as God’s word says. The issue is the love of sin, NOT the love of science.
Second, “They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.’” Yes, this was foretold that, just because God’s timetable for the return of his Son is different than man’s, the scoffers will make fun of the idea that it will happen as promised, on target, and on time.
Third, the reason for such ignorance is, “For they DELIBERATELY overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.” This “deliberate” ignorance is being fulfilled in such blatant ways as famous and infamous skeptics and scoffers ridicule all the scientific evidence for creation and the flood simply because they refuse to acknowledge that we have a Creator to whom all people will one day give account.
And fourth, how we relate to God’s word about the future will be consistent with how we relate to God’s word about the past. So, it says to us and these scoffers, “But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.” As surely as the earth is covered with evidence of creation and the flood, our planet is heading towards the worst catastrophe imaginable, the coming “judgment and destruction of the ungodly”.
However!!! Those who believe in and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior look at all these realities of both the spiritual and the scientific worlds and have this certain hope: “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
I love going out into God’s creation and delighting in what he has made, what has adapted from what he has made, what gives evidence of the worldwide flood, and what shows the glory of creation in recovering from the worldwide flood. But one thing always happens!!! We always need to leave, go home, be apart from the people we loved sharing such experiences with, and carry on with the mundane duties of living in a foreign land (the world) when our Forever Home is constantly calling to our souls!
The new heavens and earth will be unimaginably glorious (what
will it look like to have a “new” planet with no signs of a global
flood?!), but there is something even more appealing, and that is the unending
attachment of love-relationships with God and his people. We will constantly enjoy
the glories of the new creation in the perfection of our salvation where we
will always be with the Triune God in whose “presence there is fullness of
joy”, and at whose “right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
