"Foundations in the Book of Genesis: A Geologist's Perspective" https://ttwpress.com/product/foundations-in-the-book-of-genesis-a-geologists-perspective/ The opening chapters of Genesis must be understood by recognizing the Lord Jesus Christ as our Creator (John 1:1-3), who displayed His power in His miracles and always spoke the truth. He quoted from those chapters as literal history. Thus, we can read the Genesis text as teaching literal days of creation of our earth and universe only thousands of years ago, based on the genealogies, and that God created in a specific order that refutes the secular evolutionary "story" of life's origins. The flood was global, covering all the mountains everywhere under the whole heavens, destroying and reshaping the earth so that all land-dwelling animals and men perished, except for those on the ark. These early chapters of Genesis are also the foundation for so many vital doctrines, not least being the origin of sin and death that necessitated the sacrificial death of the promised Savior, the gospel itself. Yet the apostle Peter warned that in the last days scoffers would deny the evidence of the creation of the earth and its cataclysmic destruction by the flood, thus scoffing at our Lord's promised Second Coming.
