Noah-s-flood Quote by David Barker
““Years ago, I asked an acquaintance who was completing his PhD in geology if he had seen any geological evidence for Noah’s Flood. He answered that he had not. And added that geologists don’t see a “flood layer” like they do the iridium layer all over the world. Since then, after much study and reflection, I have come to the conclusion that if the descriptions of the Flood in the scriptures and related sources are reasonably accurate, geologists have been ignoring what is right before their eyes. No surface feature on Earth would have escaped significant alteration, and in many places the changes would have been extreme! There would be no “flood layer,” but there would be many diverse strata and features providing clues.””

The author suggests that if biblical flood accounts are accurate, geological evidence should be evident but is overlooked by mainstream geology.
In simple terms: If the Flood happened, geology would show clear signs that are being ignored.
