Description

The Bible speaks of rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights in the days of Noah. It says that the fountains of the great deep were broken up, the windows of heaven were opened, that a flood covered the earth, and that the waters covered all the high hills under the whole heaven. However, the Bible leaves silent a detailed discussion of the source of the waters for the flood and other events which were likely associated with such a devastating event. How much water came from the “fountains of the deep”? How much came from the “windows of heaven”? The Bible talks only briefly of mountains forming, oceans deepening, and the climate changing. Nowhere does it deal with many of the evidences of past catastrophic processes evident today. Is it possible to fill in the sketchy descriptions of the Biblical flood events with scientific observations and numerical modeling?

This monograph is an attempt to apply conventional scientific methods and data to a Biblical framework of Earth history. The proper term for this attempt might be Biblical paleoclimatology. The following topics are treated in this monograph:

• A Vapor Canopy Model
• Helium Escape from the Atmosphere
• A Young-Earth Age Model for Ice Cores
• A Young-Earth Age Model for Sea-Floor Sediment Accumulation
• Global Climate Modeling
• Hurricane Modeling Over a Warm Ocean
