Did the Global Flood Really Happen?

Dr. John D. Morris, Ph.D. of the Institute for Creation Research wrote the following:

"Acceptance of old-earth ideas, including the Big Bang, progressive creation, theistic evolution, the framework hypothesis, etc., necessarily implies downgrading the Flood of Noah's day from worldwide in scope to merely one of local extent. For example, Dr. Hugh Ross (an aggressive advocate of billions of years for the earth's age) vigorously denies the global flood. He calls it "universal," covering all that Noah could see, but not the entire earth. This insistence does not come from sound Biblical exegesis, but from the incompatibility of a global flood with old-earth thinking, which he accepts. The evidence for great ages is thought to be found in the rock and fossil records of the earth's crust. These are interpreted by the principle of uniformitarianism, that "the present is the key to the past." Since geologic processes happen slowly today, they argue, the extensive rock and fossil records must have taken great lengths of time to form."

In 2002 National Geographic reported that a fossil of a young mummified dinosaur was discovered in Montana. Mummified means that the dinosaur was preserved into fossil, with skeleton, tissue, skin, scales, muscle, beak, foot pads, and even the contents of the dinosaur's digestive tract, its last meal. Dr. Mace Baker, Ph. D. has written about the discovery,

"It is important to remember that Leonardo (the dinosaur's nickname) was alive when it ate the plants, but was drowned and became buried in sediments before it could digest this meal. If this dinosaur had died under normal and/or uniformitarian circumstances...and had been slowly and gradually covered by sands of time, no fossilized material, let alone mummified material, would have been left for us to observe these thousands of years later."

Noah lived in the Middle East. The mummified dinosaur was found in Montana, USA. The evidence of Leonardo speaks to us from ages past of the global, cataclysmic flood recorded in the Book of Genesis.
