Global Flood? Yes...Yes indeed!

First: Let me just say that I have fallen in Love with reading articles from ICR.org (Institute For Creation Research). They get a whole lot of criticism (a big bowl of ugly from a never ending parade of stupid...HA...hairspray quote:) But I think most of their critics are just annoyed that these scientist (all of which Have PhD's and diplomas from high end schools like Harvard!) continually reject the Theory of evolution and just about anything associated with Darwin. Like I have said before...Some people will go to great lengths to try to disapprove creationism and people like the ICR scientist are their worst nightmare!

Second: I have been reading about the flood A LOT lately. And something that irks me about people who disapprove of the idea of a Global flood is their (like before) quickness to throw out a bunch of random facts and assumptions even about the Bible and scripture. (I love how people who most likely have never stepped foot in a church or read the Bible in a spiritual frame of mind go off on tangents about what the scriptures are saying...most of the time they fail to read the whole story and focus in on one verse...) Anyway I read an article about Why the ICR scientists were not credible and the Flood was not Global and so forth. He attempted to counter one of ICR arguments from scripture about the flood. But in doing so...he only looked at one or two verses and I feel like he misinterpreted them altogether! He talked about how the Bible is never clear on weather the flood was a regional flood or a global flood so therefore it is not relevant. But the verses he talked about in Genesis 6 are nothing but God explaing the flood to come to Noah and repeating himslef multiple times that "Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish"(vs. 6:17). He also says he will "blot out man" and that the "end of all flesh has come before me." I dont think there is a question here on a Scriptual reference that God is talking about a global flood. Think about it. When is God ever Vauge when giving directions in the Bible? He always tells them exactly what he wants them to know and exactly what he wants them to know. He even tells Noah EXACTLY what type of wood to use on the ark and EXACTLY how big the ark will be (wich in our measuring system is roughly 500 feet long, 74 feet wide and 44 feet high...BIG boat) AND...EXACTLY where a window on the ark should be. None of this "maybe he meant something else...or is using metaphors" nonsense...We need to learn to take God's word literally for what it is!
