Cataclysmic Flood-The Flood of the Bible
The Flood of the Bible is considered a great story or myth, but it is not. It is an historical event that took place as it is written about. We can show proof by the earth’s surface in what we call fossils.
Since there are billions of fossils, finding one has become widespread. Since it is so common, it tells so much of our history of a massive flood, a cataclysmic flood, that put these objects in places where they normally would not exist. The earths surface of sedimentary rock created a mold of anything that existed years ago. These living things made formations which can be found in unusual places. For example, a tree that is facing upside down or a fossilized oyster on top of a mountain all tell us that massive amounts of water, or a flood has redeposited these objects in these unusual places.
Sedimentary rock makes up most of the earth’s surface. The remaining surface is volcanic igneous and metamorphic rock. The trees that were buried in different angles in the stone, and the oysters on a mountain top tell scientists this is the result of a marine cataclysm. And it is not just in one place or one country. It is found all over the world.
Fossils have made up a vast amount of invertebrates and vertebrates. Fish, marine invertebrates, algae, plants and shellfish as well as insects, land vertebrates and dinosaur bones have been documented. These documentations are signs of a Biblical flood that did, in fact, take place many years ago.
There is a lot to be studied when we consider the earth’s surface and what historical signs it points us to. But we can all see it is not a far fetched idea, because we have all, at one time or another seen a fossil and the mystery of the Flood of the Bible becomes less of a mystery and more of a truth.

well you call me a conservative Christian, and I call you are atheist, it is ok!!!
you can even go so far as fundamental mega conservative Christian…
One who believes every word in Genesis.
however it is not my fault, not the fault of the Bible if you either, dont have the intelligence to understand a very simple verse, or dont want to understand the verse so you can justify your NO GOD philosophy.
But because it is Genesis, I will take the time to, at a very minimum (for the audience) go through the passage, and something that you DON'T want to do, that is to read Gen 1.6 in light of the rest of scripture.
I am not going to give you my simple breakdown of Genesis because I will be accused of being biased with my modern knowledge of todays science…
so here is Mr Wesley from 1710 to 1788 many years before Charles Robert Darwin…
Gen 1:6-8 – We have here an account of the second day's work, the creation of the firmament. In which observe, 1. The command of God; Let there be a firmament – An expansion; so the Hebrew word signifies, like a sheet spread, or a curtain drawn out. This includes all that is visible above the earth, between it and the third heavens, the air, its higher, middle, and lower region, the celestial globe, and all the orbs of light above; it reaches as high as the place where the stars are fixed, for that is called here the firmament of heaven, Gen_1:14-15, and as low as the place where the birds fly for that also is called the firmament of heaven, Gen_1:20. 2. The creation of it: and God made the firmament. 3. The design of it; to divide the waters from the waters – That is, to distinguish between the waters that are wrapt up in the clouds, and those that cover the sea; the waters in the air, and those in the earth. 4. The naming it; He called the firmament Heaven – 'Tis the visible heaven, the pavement of the holy city. The height of the heavens should mind us of God's supremacy, and the infinite distance that is between us and him; the brightness of the heavens, and their purity, should mind us of his majesty, and perfect holiness; the vastness of the heavens, and their encompassing the earth, and influence upon it, should mind us of his immensity and universal providence.
I will only add 1 thing, Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Yes there was water up above the sky we had today. The earth was a different place than today, it never rained, EVER, until the flood.
how thick it was I don't know, was it solid and transparent, maybe! suspended liquid maybe!
But that is why it is no there today, because the water was made to come down, at the same time as the fountains of the deep, flooding the earth.
Remember the flood? that thing you want to ignore.
You know all those fossils that are laid down all over the earth in that you think happened over millions of years? but were really put there by the world wide flood as mentioned in the Bible. THAT FLOOD…
But I do want to confront your deceptive lie regarding your quote:
“Modern Creationism is largely the product of late 19th and early 20th century attempts to counter the discoveries of science, so in reading Genesis, conservative Christians mix what cannot be denied of science with the mythology of Genesis, and come up with something that is neither biblical nor science.”
Modern creationism is in reaction to the ridiculous and anti Biblical world view started by before mentioned Charles Darwin, Charles Lyell, Uniformitarianism, evolution, etc.
You accuse me of not seeing the facts and the evidence, I point out that you are blinded by your Sin and atheistic world view.
remember I will be praying for you.
good night and bye till next time.
so come one just indulge me a little bit, were you taught in a catholic school?

I think it's more accurate to view Christian fiction as a sub-culture, rather than a vehicle to help Christians engage mainstream culture. Christian education is successful insofar as it equips believers to permeate the world. Christian education that results in communes and monasteries does little to impact the world. Preaching to the choir may have its place. But until we get the choir into the world, the preaching is of little long-term value. However you spin it, Christian fiction has more to do with preaching to the choir, than equipping the choir to engage mainstream culture.

Catholics don't believe that. And most Christians don't believe that. I suspect that you're some kind of troll, probably the teenage variety.

No. I would consider the possibility that the story of the flood was handed down to all Noah's grandchildren and their children after them. Over time the facts may have become blurred a little, but not necessarily plagiarized.
I believe there are more than 50 different global flood accounts. Some are strikingly similar, others not so much so.
Why do people place such credibility on very old writings, but not the Bible. No document in human history has received as much scrutiny, yet withstand all the 'serious' criticisms. There is no artifact in history that has been studied, analyzed, probed, criticized, or examined like the Bible. Even so, people still scoff at it.
