The Great Ice Age
As part of the Flood event itself and for a century afterwards, snow blanketed the higher latitudes and Polar regions as part of the Catadstrophe. From what we can tell, the first earth had no rain or snow prior, so how do we get a glacier without snow and more than that - an Ice Age? Think of it, how warm would the oceans be if we had a tropical climate in both Siberia and Antarctica, with both areas growing Redwood trees! What would happen if a previously warm but now 100 degree below zero atmosphere made contact with warm, 80 degree oceans? When you place hot water in a freezer what do you get? - evaporation and steam! (see image below) Consider what this massive amount of water vapor rising and contacting the cool atmosphere would result in. Massive snow storms at the higher latitudes at both poles. (See Mike Oard video ).
The oldest book in the Bible (Job) mentions ice, frost, and snow - in the Middle East! Over time, the earth's weather systems stabilized to leave us the cycles and temperate zones we have today, but even those are changing, getting slightly warmer over hundreds of years. We know the glaciers are receding and the deserts are growing. From the author's experience living in Alaska in the 60's and flying across the largest ice fields in North America, one could observe the moraines that proved ice covered much more of Alaska in the past. ▶ The Hydroplate Theory - The Flood ( Newer version! ) - YouTube
Some folks panic over this natural process… If they think global warming is an issue, try global cooling! All the major cities in Alaska would be under ice if the earth had not warmed after the flood event. Warming is not such a bad thing, but certainly reasonable efforts to maintain a clean atmosphere is just good stewardship of our Blue Planet. On the other hand, in the last 14 years the Earth has seen a cooling trend, even Alaska is setting records for low temps for longer durations.

Dr. Maynard Miller, one of America's foremost glaciologists, documented that no ice on the planet exists older than 6,000 years. When asked about the polar ice sheets and their age, he stated that old age calculations were inaccurate due to homogenization of the deep cores, (in reading the current literature one can see contradictions) where they switch from actual to assumed deposition based on core depth and average rates of snowfall. Snow deposits would have been far higher during and after the flood than now. If the aquifer water sprayed high into the atmosphere in the first 40 days, it would have created massive initial snow deposits and jump-started an Ice Age, most likely the only Ice age. This would account for the Polar and Greenland ice caps being formed with fresh water and account for those massive initial sheets and the devastation they brought to those areas. When this sequence is taken into account, it answers many questions about the past in a logical and verifiable way.
Hydrological Systems changed
The pre-flood hydrological cycle was completely different than today of evaporation, rainfall, and runoff. According to the Bible, there seems to have been an underground aquifer/spring network , and a morning/evening dew/mist that watered all the land. (see First Earth and Genesis 2:6,10) Around the globe we find caves and caverns that are now unused and empty. Could these be the remnants of the first hydrological system? New evidence supports a theory that our planet had a subterranean aquifer network that was "pumped by the tidal action of the moon acting on the crust" in the first world. This strongly supports the Bible's account. (see Dr. Brown video).

An estimated FIVE MILLION mammoths lie entombed in Arctic soils:
The soil of Siberia is so full of mammoth bones that "ivory mines" were working for many years, at least 20,000 tusks were taken from one mine alone. Besides mammoths, the Arctic soils contain the remains of over 60 animal species, including the woolly rhinoceros, camels, horses, tigers, and antelope. Many of them lie in frozen silt, mixed together with boulders and tree roots. The article goes on: "Apparently, at one moment the mammoth was munching away peacefully at butter-cups growing lush in the sunshine of a temperate plain. The next moment it was subjected to cold so bitter that it was deep frozen where it stood, buttercups in mouth". Their body tissues and stomach contents had not even begun to decompose, thousands of years later. If we look for the bones and ivory of the mammoth, not just preserved flesh, the number of discoveries becomes enormous, especially in Siberia and Alaska. Nikolai Vereshchagin, the Chairman of the Russian Academy of Science's Committee for the Study of Mammoths, estimated that more than half a million tons of mammoth tusks were buried along a 600-mile stretch of the Arctic coast alone. Their meat still edible. (1) Scientists have found mammoth tusks embedded with millimeter-size particles rich in iron and nickel. The BBC stated, “Startling evidence has been found which shows mammoth and other great beasts from the last ice age were blasted with material that came from space.” As the "great deep" exploded into space, it would be expected that the poles would get the brunt of such returning particles. It should also be noted that meteorites with proteins have also been identified, explained as above, not being evidence of life forms from other planets!

More evidence of rapid cooling,
Published accounts by the Noble Prize Laureate Alexander Solzhenitsyn mention this in the preface to The Gulag Archipelago. The report was finally found in Moscow’s Lenin State Library as follows;
"There are some cases of finds of not only dead mammals, but also fishes, unfortunately lost for science. In 1942, during road construction in the Liglikhtakha River valley (the Kolyma Basin) an explosion opened a subterranean lens of transparent ice encasing frozen specimens of some big fishes. Apparently the explosion opened an ancient river channel with representatives of fish. Chunks of meat thrown out by the explosion were eaten by those present." (Y. N. Popov, “New Finds of Pleistocene Animals in Northern USSR,” Nature, No. 3, 1948, p. 76).

World-Wide coal deposits In Alaska we find fossil evidence of mega fauna and flora - giant ferns, nautilus and mastodons, living in a past warm and lush climate. We also find huge oil and coal reservoirs beneath the surface - "fossil fuels" that formed from what? The massive under-earth graveyards of animals and vegetation buried in sediments. Coal fields now have been identified as massive deposits of tree bark and vegetation material, not ancient swamp material as many school science textbooks claim. These must have been deposited from huge floating log mats bumping the bark off in storms and subsequently covered by the silt-filled waters and compressed. Most all coal fields have a sandstone layer overburden, hardened to stone. A view of the Appalachian, Alaskan, Smoky, and Rocky Mountain ranges shows a clear story where these floating log mats (in the case of coal) were driven by winds and current and became trapped against these new mountain ranges formed as part of the flood event. Coal miners will tell you they run into petrified stumps and need to dynamite them away on occasion.
Actually, geologists watched this very sequence occurring before their eyes in the waters of Spirit Lake at the base of Mt. St Helen's (Washington, USA), where a floating log mat of a million logs dropped their bark that piled on the bottom. Coal formation researcher, Dr. Steve Austin connected the dots. Dr. Austin's PhD is in coal origin from Penn State, where he determined coal actually came form tree bark and took only hours to form. The map above shows where the massive deposits were likely trapped against mountain ranges all over the earth and dropped their bark deposits by wave action.

Fossil Fuels Where did they come from? These would be needed for man to survive in the new and cooler planet. Coal, gas, and oil deposits may be found in abundance on nearly every continent in the world, and in many places layered upon each other! We shouldn't take them for granted, they are a gift from God! None existed in the older earth before the flood event horizon (see Grand Canyon segment). They are recent in age, water sediment covered, and all a result of the Flood! Fossil fuel maps often don't even reflect the massive undersea deposits! One underground coal mine in Kentucky, USA recently was forced to close an entire section due to a breakthrough into an oil pool. (1) These deposits are not a mystery. In a report (2) cited in a paper titled "The recent origin of Bass Strait oil and gas" (Snelling Andrew, A) Shows that Coal and oil are related. In it Brooks and Smith (2A) are quoted showing that laboratory experiments on brown coals converted to a high-volatile bituminous (black) coal accompanied by the formation of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons from the contained waxes and leaf, pollen, and spore cuticles, all in a matter of 2–5 days!

In summary, the Earth was broken and stripped clear of all life and vegetation in the Flood of Noah. God is serious about the way we live our lives. The rebellion and terrible sin the people of that era were reprehensible to His ways. He finally declared an end to it. Later, when Jesus Christ came he spoke of the same Flood and connected the two to a Second Coming event, the next Judgement. We cannot ignore his teaching or the evidence of the past.
Jesus stated; "Just as in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be!"
God will not be mocked, that little word "be" has immense ramifications relating to future events. The flood was a real event world-wide in scope, and so shall His coming! Jesus Christ offers a free pass out of the next Judgment, be assured His word and warnings are true and reliable! Look at what the Flood did to the first earth, don't miss this opportunity to make peace with Him!

We Get Another Chance! Revelation 1 tells us; "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life'!"
Jesus also said this - "The work of God is this, to Believe in the One he has sent"! To believe means also to believe his words and follow His way, have no doubt about this, God is the Author of all Truth! Everyone is only a payer away from this His protection and promises. Test these things and see for yourself that they are true! God is a God of Purity and Holiness, through Christ he has made a way to makeup for our sinful failing and made provision to help us as a Father loves and helps his child. Don't miss out!
