This shows that the world we live in today is nothing like the world before the flood. Looking at the evidence deposited in the earth from thousands of years ago, something that can be seen, touched, smelled, will be paramount in understanding the truth about the Great Flood. As a matter of fact, the evidence of fossils will not only prove there was aquatic life over the earth, but evidence in high places around the globe.…

    Young Earth creationism is the belief where the world was created in 6, 24-hour days, and the age of the world is approximately 6000 years old. The Young Earth creationism uses the great flood to show how it makes sense. Making the world and everything on it young. This ideal that the earth is young is not a new ideal and has been around since between 700 and 735 AD, when a monk by the name of Venerable Bede claimed the creation of the world was in 3952 BC. Many other people have placed the creation in the time frame of 3961 through 4004 BC.…

Throughout the entirety of Genesis 2 and 3, we see that The Garden of Eden was made by God that one may test Mankind. We can see this through the order of creation, how Mankind gets tested, and from how the punishments are dealt .…
