Life on Planet Earth before Noah's Flood.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN THE PRE-FLOOD EARTH?

A key to understanding the Pre-Flood Earth is the existence of a canopy of water in the stratosphere

In the Genesis Account of Creation, we read:

Genesis 1:6-8, 'Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.'

The Firmament (now known as the sky)

The "firmament" is not a word which we now use, so we need to look carefully to see what God is talking about. Fortunately in Genesis 1:20 it becomes perfectly clear: "Let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens."

So the "firmament" is the sky, where the birds fly. In other words, the sky appeared between the water above the sky, and the water below the sky. After the appearance of the firmament there were three separate layers:

- Region 1: Water in the stratosphere.
- Region 2: The sky, where the birds fly.
- Region 3: Water below the sky, now known as the sea

There was therefore, at the original Creation, a water canopy in the stratosphere, above the sky (the firmament).

After Noah's Flood this water canopy in the stratosphere was removed, and the water became part of the waters of the Flood of Noah, approximately 4,400 years ago. The water canopy in the stratosphere is therefore no longer present.

The water canopy originally provided protection against cosmic radiation from outer space.

THE WATER LAYER IN THE STRATOSPHERE HAD SEVERAL VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS

Warm temperature and greenhouse effect

The temperature was probably much warmer, with no variation of temperature over the entire planet because of the "greenhouse effect" of the vapour canopy in the stratosphere.

This perhaps explains why Mammoths preserved in the permafrost in Siberia have tropical vegetation in their stomachs.

Blocking of dangerous X-rays and ultraviolet radiation

One of the very important functions of the upper atmosphere today is that much of the dangerous radiation from the sun is filtered out.

However, some dangerous radiation still gets through to the surface of the Earth. This is why, for example, overexposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer.

The blocking of dangerous X-rays and gamma rays would probably have been much greater before the Flood. This may account for the much longer life spans of the patriarchs recorded in the Bible.

Richer oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

The water canopy in the stratosphere would have dramatically increased the partial pressure of gases on Planet Earth, causing 50% higher concentrations of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. This is proved in experiments on Pre-Flood air trapped in fossilised tree sap, now known as the semi- precious stone, Amber.

According to experiments recorded in Time magazine the partial pressure of Oxygen in the atmosphere was at one time 50% higher

According to Time Magazine the oxygen content in Amber is 50% higher than it is now, (see Time Magazine, Nov 9, 1987, p. 82).

- Amber is a semi-precious stone, commonly used in ladies' jewellery.

- Amber is actually fossilized tree sap, and frequently contains either insects, or bubbles of air.

- According to Time Magazine November 9, 1987, p. 82, bubbles of air in Amber have an oxygen content that is 50% higher than the present atmospheric air.

- According to this article in Time Magazine, Geochemists Gary Landis of the US Geological Survey and Robert Berner of Yale analyzed tiny air bubbles trapped in specimens of Amber.

- They placed the Amber specimens inside a vacuum chamber, and then opened the Amber, allowing the ancient trapped gases to escape.

- They found that the air contained 32% oxygen, which is much higher than our current 21% oxygen content in the atmosphere.

- This finding is confirmed in The New Scientist Magazine published on March 11, 2000. According to this article the air trapped in Amber has 35% oxygen.

These findings confirm that Planet Earth had much higher Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels at an earlier date, and would seem to confirm the theory about higher Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere, caused by the water canopy before Noah's Flood.

BENEFITS OF THE WARM TEMPERATURE, HIGH OXYGEN CONTENT, AND LACK OF DANGEROUS RADIATION IN THE PRE-FLOOD EARTH


The Garden of Eden conditions described in the early chapters of Genesis were probably reflected all over the planet.

There was probably abundant vegetation, animals, birds and fish. Because of the warmer and more constant ambient temperature, and the high partial pressures of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide humans, animals, birds, insects, and fish were much larger, as revealed in the fossil record described below.

There is a general teaching that early man was primitive. This is almost certainly incorrect. Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, and were probably extremely intelligent and creative, as were all the patriarchs.

Because of the protective effect of the water canopy, there was protection from damaging ultraviolet rays and gamma rays, with probably much lower incidence of consequent diseases such as cancer and foetal malformations.

Because of the higher Oxygen levels, the high blood Oxygen levels would have contributed to extreme longevity, resistance to bacterial and viral diseases, and greater metabolic efficiency, with consequent greatly enhanced athletic ability.

The average age of man before Noah's Flood was 912 years. Today it is 70- 80

The average recorded life span in the Bible of the early patriarchs is 912 years. This is in stark contrast to today's much shorter life spans, with 70 -80 years being typical. This may be accounted for by the higher oxygen content, the protective effect of the water canopy, lack of disease, better diet, and much less hostile weather patterns.

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE

The Bible describes giants, before and after Noah's Flood.

It is recorded in 1 Samuel 17:4 that Goliath was six cubits and a span tall, which is approximately nine feet tall.

The Bible records, in Deuteronomy chapter 3 v11, that the iron bed of Og, King of Basham, was 9 cubits by 4 cubits or approximately 14 feet long by 6 feet wide.

EVIDENCE OF HUMAN GIANTS

Skeletons of giants discovered in tombs Turkey

In the late 1950s during road construction in South East Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, many tombs containing the remains of giants were uncovered.

At two sites the thigh bones (femurs) were measured to be about 120cm (47.24 inches).

Joe Taylor, Director of the Mount Blanco Fossil Museum in Crosbyton, Texas, was commissioned to create this anatomically correct, and to scale, human femur. The original giant stood 14 -16 feet tall, and had 20-22 inch long feet. His or her finger tips, with arms to their sides, would be about 6 feet above the ground!

Giant thumb bone discovered by Ron Wyatt near Noah's Ark, Eastern Turkey

Ron Wyatt discovered Noah's Ark in 1982. His site has been officially recognised by the Turkish Government (click here to visit Noah's Ark on this web site).

Near this site, Ron Wyatt discovered this thumb bone, which is compared with a normal human thumb bone. It is approximately twice the normal length, and therefore probably came from a 12 foot man who formerly lived in Eastern Turkey near Noah's Ark.

FOSSIL EVIDENCE OF HUGE INSECTS


Insects breathe oxygen through spiracles in their skin. Their size is limited only by the amount pf Oxygen available. In the high Oxygen Pre-Flood atmospheric conditions, insects grew much larger.

Fossilised dragonfly with 50 inch wing span


This fossilised dragonfly was discovered in Italy with a 50 inch wingspan click here

We believe that this Pre-Flood dragonfly was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.

Fossilised Tarantula spider


A fossil of a giant tarantula spider about 18 inches long has been discovered. We believe that this Pre-Flood tarantula spider was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.

Giant turtle


This giant turtle skeleton is exhibited at the Yale Museum, New Haven, Connecticut. It is approximately 10 feet high. This is simply evidence that giant turtles existed.

Fossilised cockroaches


Cockroaches over 18 inches long have been found in the fossil record. They would have been unpleasant pests in the kitchen!

Fossilised giant centipede


A fossil of a centipede eight and a half feet long has been discovered by palaeontologist in Germany.

We believe that this Pre-Flood centipede was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.

FOSSILISED GIANT VEGETATION

Fossilised cattails 60 feet high have been discovered in sedimentary rock.

In the Pre-Flood atmosphere the Carbon Dioxide content was much higher because of the canopy of water.

This high Carbon Dioxide content caused the cattails, and all vegetation, to grow much larger, and also more abundantly.

Even today tomato plants grown in artificially created atmospheres in greenhouses with high Carbon Dioxide content produce very large crops of tomatoes.

We believe that the vegetation before the Flood was superabundant, with extremely large trees, fruit, and vegetables. It was truly superabundant vegetation, all over the world.

During the Flood, the huge forests were rapidly compressed under tons of rock, forming our huge coal seams all over the world. Coal can be artificially created today by compression of vegetable matter.

We believe that animals and fishes were compressed at the time of the Flood to form the huge oil reservoirs.

GIANT ANIMALS AND TURTLES

Giant Buffalo


A fossilised buffalo horn with a 12 foot span has been discovered, and is in Dr Baugh's museum in the USA.

We believe that this Pre-Flood buffalo was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.

Giant Donkeys


A donkey was excavated in Texas, USA, which is 9 feet high at the shoulder. This proves the existence of giant donkeys.

Giant Beavers

Fossils of beavers over 8 feet long have been found.

We believe that these Pre-Flood beavers were buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.

The jaw of a beaver 8 foot long has also been found in the USA, proving the existence of giant beavers.

Polonium Halos in Granite prove Creation, and disprove the Big Bang Theory.

Polonium Halos in Granite prove Creation, and disprove the Big Bang Theory

Most text books teach that, in its early life, the Earth was a hot molten mass formed as a result of the Big Bang billions of years ago.

According to this theory, the Earth slowly cooled down over millions of years, leaving a hot molten central core, with the cooled Earth's crust.


Holt Earth Science 1994, p. 280

According to Holt Earth Science, "As Earth formed, its surface was similar to the surface of the moon today. Craters, like those in the picture, and large plains of volcanic basalt may have marked its surface. But unlike its moon, Earth's surface was hot, and there were large pools of bubbling lava".

The Bible and the Creation of the Earth

The Bible does not describe the Earth as ever being a hot molten mass!

To the contrary, the Bible states in Genesis1:1, 2, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters". According to the Bible, the Earth was formed under water, by God, and not as a result of the Big Bang Theory.

We therefore have two completely different accounts of the formation of Planet Earth. We suspect that the Bible is the correct version of events. This has in fact been proved by the existence of Polonium Halos found in granite all over the world.

POLONIUM HALOS

Robert Gentry, whose excellent research may be read at www.halos.com has written a remarkable book, "Creation's Tiny Mystery". In the book Robert Gentry describes the results of his studies of samples of granite from all over the world.

He discovered that granite contains Polonium Halos. Polonium is one of the many elements that make up the Periodic Table, and the Halos are the result of radioactive decay of this element over a very short period of time.

Polonium has a very short half life

Polonium is a radioactive isotope that decays very rapidly. This is described technically as having a very short half life.

- The isotope Po-218 has a half life of 3 minutes.

- The isotope Po-214 has a half life of only 0.164 seconds.

Polonium Halos 

As Polonium atoms emit radioactive particles, the atoms are surrounded by Halos of radioactive particles.

Example 1



A Polonium Halo may be likened to a firework exploding in the night sky. If the sky is captured in a photograph, such as this one, then the image of the "Firework Halo" can be preserved for posterity.

Example 2

Another example would be an effervescent tablet dissolving in a glass of water. As the effervescent tablet dissolves in the water, the effervescence in the water rapidly disappears. However, if the water was frozen at a very early stage, the effervescence would be visible in the ice.

Effervescence observed in ice would be an indication of almost instantaneous freezing of the water.

POLONIUM HALOS MAY BE OBSERVED IN SAMPLES OF SOLID ROCK FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

Polonium Halos could have formed only if the rapidly decaying Polonium atoms, and the Halos of radioactive particles around the atoms, had been instantly encased in solid rock, with the emission of radioactive particles preserved as Polonium Halos.

These observable Polonium Halos provide undeniable evidence that the first created Polonium atoms were instantly preserved in solid granite, since the half life of Polonium is 3 minutes at most.

POLONIUM HALOS PROVE CREATION

Polonium Halos are found in granite samples all over the world, and may be viewed using a microscope.
The occurrence of these Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over the world indicates that the Earth was formed in an extremely short time, in complete harmony with the Biblical record of Creation in Genesis Chapter 1.

Polonium Halos found in samples of granite - caption

THE BIG BANG THEORY REFUTED
If the Earth was originally a hot molten mass which took millions of years to cool down, the radioactive particles emitted by the rapidly decaying Polonium, and accompanying Polonium Halos, would disappear in the molten lava, in the same way as an effervescent tablet in a glass of water.

The existence of Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over the world therefore completely disproves the Big Bang Theory.

Fossils Did Not Form Over Millions Of Years.

Fossils Did Not Form Over Millions Of Years

Fossils are found all over the planet, and are widely taught to have been formed, during the Evolutionary process, over millions of years! However, this simply does not make sense! There were nearly 12 millions soldiers killed on the battlefields of France and Belgium during the First World War. Farmers are continually discovering unexploded bombs, weapons, crockery, helmets, and other war materiel, but not one single fossilized soldier has ever been discovered!

If you place a dead cow or dinosaur on the cricket pitch you do not get a fossil, however long you wait! After a week there is a bad smell. After a month or two the soft body parts will have decomposed. After six months only bones would be left. After a year or two, there would simply be dust, and small remnants of bones.

Fossil formation at Noah's Flood

The Bible informs us in Genesis 7:11-12, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of Heaven were opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights."

- How could a dinosaur, mammoth, or anything else be preserved in rock, with their stomach contents preserved intact?

- The only way to make a fossil is to preserve it instantly in hundreds of tons of rock.

- For a whole dinosaur or mammoth to be preserved with stomach contents intact, it must have been preserved instantly, or the carcass would putrefy.

- We believe that this happened at Noah's flood.

- We believe that the only known event in the history of Planet Earth that could have caused fossils on such a grand scale was Noah's Flood.

- We believe that, at the time of Noah's flood 4,400 years ago, as the crust of the earth was broken up humans, fish and animals were instantly buried under tons of rock and debris.

Fossilization is not a slow process!

As the photographs below clearly show, fossilization is NOT a slow process over hundreds of years, as many teach. The two examples below show INSTANT fossilization, as happened at the time of Noah's flood.




1. A mother Ichthyosaur giving birth to a baby Ichthyosaur, from Creation Magazine 12-99,





2. A fossilised fish swallowing another fish!

The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Seventh Day.

Genesis 2:1-3, "Thus the Heavens and the Earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made".

- God rested on the Seventh Day.

- God could perfectly easily have created the whole Universe instantaneously, but He chose not to.

- He wanted to initiate a cycle of six days work, and one day of rest, as a cycle of spiritual perfection, to be followed by man for ever.

The Sabbath Day of Rest
The Bible states in Exodus 20:8-11: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work. For in six days the LORD made the Heavens and the Earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

- The Seventh Day was called the Sabbath.

- Jewish people celebrate Sabbath, known as the "Shabbat" from 6 pm on Friday until 6 pm on Saturday, and this is probably the correct timing.

- It is known by Christians as The Lord's Day, and is celebrated on Sunday.

- It was to be a day set apart from the other Six Days.

- The Sabbath Day was to be consecrated to the Lord, and this is the Fourth Commandment.

The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Sixth Day Part 2

PART 2: The Creation of Man

Adam and Eve were originally created as spirits, created in the likeness of God. Very soon after that the Lord God created bodies for them, "and man became a living being."

We start in Genesis 1:26-27: "Then God said, "Let us (Hebrew =Elohim) make man in our image, according to our likeness. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

We are told that God is a Spirit in John 4:25, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth," NKJV.

Therefore, when they (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created something in their exact likeness, they must have created:

1. The Spirit of Adam
2. The Spirit of Eve

The spirits of Adam and Eve were created in Their exact likeness. Remember, God is not a human being, but a Spirit. In Genesis1:26 and 1:27 God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were all Spirits. Approximately 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ became a Human Being. But before that Jesus Christ was a Spirit. Therefore they must have made Adam and Eve as spirits in Genesis 1:27.

Later the LORD God (Jesus Christ) formed the first living being, called Man, as recorded in Genesis 2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

Adam and Eve were originally spirits, created in the likeness of God. Very soon after that God created bodies for them, "and man became a living being."

The Creation of Adam

- Jesus Christ took the dust of the ground and made the dust into the form of a Man, using DNA as a computer template.

- When we die, our bodies revert to dust, made of the 17 elements of which we are composed.

- Jesus then breathed the spirit of Adam, created in Genesis 1, into the nostrils of the body He had created.

- As the spirit entered the human form, this human form, made of clay or earth, became the first human being.

- The Bible states, "In Him (Jesus Christ) was life, and the life was the light of men" John 1:4. This means that Jesus Christ is the literal Giver of Life.

- We are told in the New Testament that human life in the body cannot exist without the indwelling spirit. James 2:26 states: "The body without the spirit is dead". 

- "When Jesus Christ created the first human body in Genesis 2:7, that body was dead until Jesus Christ breathed into that dead body the "breath of life". 

- This would by definition have been the spirit of Adam created in Genesis 1:27.

The Creation of Eve

- Jesus Christ then performed the very first tissue transplant from Adam to create Eve!

- Genesis 2:21-22 states, "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man." 

What exactly happened when God created Eve?

- We believe that Jesus Christ took a specimen of Adam's living tissue, and created Eve, probably using Adam's flesh with Adam's DNA as a template.

- We are not clear exactly how this happened, but we are equally not clear about how God created anything!

- All we know is that He did!

- The translation "rib" is probably incorrect.

- All men and women have 12 ribs each!

- The word used here is the Hebrew word "Tsela".

- It can mean a rib, but by far the commonest meaning is a "side".

- For example, the word "Tsela" is used to mean the "side" of the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 25:14.

Adam & Eve probably both glowed with light before the Fall

- We are told that God is "clothed in light, as with a garment", Psalm 104:2.

- Before the fall, Adam & Eve probably both glowed with light, just like God.

- Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, and Adam & Eve were almost certainly clothed in light too.

- After the fall, the light surrounding their physical bodies went out. That is how they knew they were naked!

God instructed Adam and Eve to multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it

Genesis 1:28-31: "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

- God created Adam and Eve on Day Six, and everything was just perfect.

- This was a Garden Paradise, known as the Garden of Eden.

- As stated in Genesis, Adam and Eve, and all living animals and birds, were originally vegetarian.

The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Sixth Day Part 1

PART 1: The Creation Of The Animals

Genesis 1:24-25, "Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good".

- Each animal was created "according to its kind".

- Science is the study of observable fact, not theory.

- We see different kinds of birds, animals and fish.

- We do not see animals changing into birds.

- Evolution is not a science, it is a belief system.

- For those who sincerely believe they can prove that Evolution is a fact, then feel free to collect $250,000 from Dr Kent Hovind. For details CLICK HERE

Charles Darwin and his book, "The Origin of the Species"

Charles Darwin wrote "The Origin of the Species" in 1859. What he observed was very small variation in the length and breadth of the beaks of finches, small birds found in the Galapagos Islands, off the Western cost of South America.

Darwin actually noted variation within a species, or variation of a kind! These variations were so minor that later visitors had trouble identifying them! This is Micro-Evolution, or variation within one species of bird, namely finches, which we all see all the time! Darwin need not have bothered to travel to the Galapagos Islands to observe Micro-Evolution, or variation within species! Everyone sees evidence of variation within a species all the time.

Darwin did not observe Macro -Evolution, the changing of one species into another. Macro-Evolution has never been observed by anybody. Darwin observed variation of a species within a kind, namely Micro-Evolution, which is commonly observed in every country in the world.

Examples of variation within a species or kind

There are large numbers of dogs found all over the world. Dog DNA has a gene pool for long legs, short legs, long hair, short hair, large bodies and small bodies etc. Because dogs share the same common gene pool, dogs may be interbred with other species of dogs, and the resultant dog is called a mongrel dog, with features common to both parents.

The same variations within a kind, or Micro-Evolution, may be found with cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, and many other animals commonly seen.

However, it is not possible to interbreed a dog with a rabbit. These different species do not share the same gene pool. In rare cases distantly related species may be interbred, such as a horse with a donkey. However, the resultant offspring is invariably sterile, and unable to continue this new "species".

Melanic and Typica Pepper Moths

- Another so called "proof" of Evolution, often quoted, is the natural selection of moths in England, according to the colour of their wings.

- In the last century there was a lot of industrial pollution near large cities, and the resultant black coal dust was deposited on the barks of trees, making the trees darker.

- It was noticed that the moths with dark coloured wings, the Melanic moths, were better adapted to their environment, and were better camouflaged.

- The natural predators of moths are birds.

- The birds could not see the dark coloured moths as well as the moths with light coloured wings (the Typica pepper moths) against the dark background.

- This discovery was hardly surprising, but was hailed as a great breakthrough in proving Natural Selection as the mechanism for Evolution!

- We believe it proves nothing of the sort!

- We believe it simply proves that camouflage works very well for moths, and has been used by countless other species of insects, birds, animals and fish.

Evolution is discussed in detail in our free teaching and PowerPoint presentation Evolution is Impossible on this web site.

The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Fifth Day

Genesis 1:20-23, "Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. "


- On the Fifth Day, God made all the fish and all the birds.

- He made the fish and the birds at the same time!

- Birds did not evolve from fish or mammals, as claimed by Evolutionists.

- This has never been observed, and never will be!

- Birds are designed quite differently from fish and mammals.

- We have never seen a fish or a mammal growing wings!
