Atheists and other old-earthers have said a thousand times over, "There's no evidence for the global flood." (This is not unlike physicist Lawrence Krauss telling RSR, "All evidence overwhelmingly supports the big bang." See that at rsr.org/bb.) So Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams proceed then to do the seemingly impossible! The guys share a list of scientific evidence for the global flood, which we'll keep online also at rsr.org/flood-evidence. * Flood Evidence for Materialists and for Christians: Some of the scientific observations that corroborate the historical record of the global flood of Noah's day: Evidence for Materialists - An average of a mile deep of sedimentary layers on the continents (deposited through water) - Billions of dead things laid down by water in strata all over the Earth - A documented extinction event that destroyed 90% of all the species (multicellular ones) that lived in the oceans - Sufficient water in our two-mile deep oceans to cover the earth (with lower pre-flood mountains) - All major mountain ranges (excepting volcanoes of course) have marine fossils on their summits - Dinosaur soft tissue still exists preserving T. rex red blood cells, blood vessels, and a dozen proteins from a dozen different kinds of dinosaurs and countless other organisms - Carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be, with significant amounts of short-lived 14c, in quantities far above the least count (margin of error) of our state-of-the-art AMS equipment (accelerator mass spectrometry) being consistently measured in diamonds, dinosaur fossils, marble, giant extinct aquatic lizard, natural gas, coal, and reportedly, in oil. - There's mostly left-handed amino acids in partially fossilized organisms (not yet decayed to a 50/50 right-to-left ratio), for example, in chert and dinosaur eggshells, and undoubtedly, throughout the fossil record! (Hey, that's another rsr.org/prediction!) So, the three-fold argument is incredibly powerful, dinosaur soft tissue, with mostly left-handed amino acids, loaded with short-lived carbon 14! - Anthropological cataloging of hundreds of cultures with an ancient corporate recollection of the flood - Extent of stratigraphic layers of regional and continental scope - As exposed in the Grand Canyon, boundaries between sedimentary strata characteristically show no evidence of what should be millions of years of relentless erosion but are instead flat gaps.   - Massive submarine canyons with near vertical walls some as deep as five kilometers - Past geologic catastrophism caused by "off the charts" energy levels (dwarfing modern phenomenon) - Many recent studies contradict Out-of-Africa and the misguided human evolution story and instead support the post-flood Out-of-Babel origin of civilization - DNA studies show a genetic bottleneck highlighting the three "Daughters" of Noah - Only a couple hundred generations were necessary to produce humanity's genetic diversity, as per various studies including in the journal Nature regarding protein-coding variants - The near side of the Moon has been beat up far worse than the far side, being beat up by the debris that was ejected from the fountains of the great deep - Comets, asteroids, and meteoroids are made up of material that's common on earth but very hard to explain their origins out in space, and especially in the outer solar system; so meteoroids are not from the Moon and Mars, they're from Earth, and they're just coming home! - Anthropologists have documented the existence of the institution of marriage in all known cultures, and this is because Noah was married to his wife, as were his three sons, Shem (father of the Semites, etc.), Ham, and Japeth, to his three daughters in law. -  Flood advocates are able to make stunning scientific predictions, contrary to the expectations of those who reject the flood (as at rsr.org/predictions) - etc. (Email suggestions to [email protected]!)
