The Draining Floodwaters: Geologic Evidence Reflects the Genesis
Text  Mainstream geology has long dismissed the idea that the
earth was once subjected to a global flood that cataclysmically
annihilated all land-dwelling, air-breathing life except for a
remnant preserved in the Ark. In 1961, however, Drs. Henry
Morris and John Whitcomb published The Genesis Flood, which
examined the evidence and concluded that it affirms the accuracy
and authority of the biblical account. Since that time, studies
have continually confirmed that the geologic record aligns with
the Bible’s depiction of an earth-destroying flood.  The Genesis
account of the global Flood succinctly describes stage after
stage of that unique catastrophe. Genesis 8:3 summarizes the
stage in which the floodwaters drained enough to allow Noah’s
Ark to rest on a mountainside. But while the waters were moving,
