Scripture On Creation podcast

Can the Hydroplate model many creationists propose to explain the effects of the flood we observe on earth today in conjunction with what the Creator did on Day 2 of creation be reconciled with Gen 1:8, "And God called the expanse heaven."?

Could the Hydroplate model explain the source of the prevalence of sedimentary layers around the globe and the division of the continents on it?  Dr. Scripture discusses these Hydroplate model proposals.

Different creation/flood models are used by creationists to describe the cause and dynamics of what Genesis 7:11 says.  Dr. Scripture discusses the Hydroplate model in particular.

The sources of water for the flood described in Genesis 7:11 are explained differently by different biblical creation/flood models.  Dr. Scripture begins an overview of the models; vapor canopy, catastrophic plate tectonics and hydroplate.

In the description of the global flood covering over 3 chapters in Genesis, no verse is more important than Genesis 7:11.  Dr. Scripture begins a detailed discussion of the meaning of this verse.

At the start of Genesis chapter 7, many decades have passed since the Lord first spoke to Noah.  Noah has built the ark and preached to the world, but saw no fruit during all those years.  Yet, Noah continued to walk with the Lord.  What a wonderful example of true faith for us all to follow.

How long did it take Noah to build the ark?  Some think 120 years based on what Genesis 6:3 says, but Dr. Scripture has a different explanation.  He discusses the lifespan of Man which now seems to be a maximum of 120 years.

In Genesis 6:13-22, God reveals how He is going to destroy the earth (a global flood), and gives Noah specific instructions on what to do (build an ark).  The text is clear the flood will destroy all life on land.

Details of Genesis 6:7-13 are discussed.  Noah's unnamed wife is the grandmother (with lots of greats!) of the entire existing human race, and God's intention was to wipe out every human being save Noah's family.

The first 6 verses verses of Genesis chap 6 produce a host of questions; who were the sons of God, who were the Nephilim?  These and other details of this fascinating portion of Genesis are discussed.
