By the beginning of the twentieth century, the basic objective facts
about the global geological catastrophic events that had struck earth
were pretty well settled and understood by scientists. Catastrophe meant
a massive calamity of hydrologic water action had re-arranged the
surface of the earth and wiped out an entire system of biologic life as
we know it.
Charles Darwin made it clear he would in no
way believe in or support the geological findings. He had other
evolutionary cohorts who agreed with him because they refused to
validate Scripture and the story of the universal flood.
The universal catastrophic flood is imprinted
all over the geological evidence. Great English, French, and other
European scientists had confirmed the evidence from between 1860-1900
with few doubting the data, except those who were giving their very
professional lives to mythologize and downplay the Bible.
During the last century, theory after theory
was postulated in order to cover up the worldwide flood evidence.
Uniformitarianism and slow evolution over millions of years was the most
popular viewpoint advanced in the sacred halls of science. It dominated
up through the 1960s and even remains today. But other views were
advanced because the best evidence advocating evolution is terribly
shaky with holes and gaps that make no sense when thoroughly tested.
Over the past forty or fifty years other views have been postulated,
such as: (1) punctuated evolution where species had sudden bursts of
change with no gaps in between. (2) the tsunami approach that says a
huge wave moved across the continents destroying all “old” life and
replacing it with new species, or bringing forward species that survived
the geologic holocaust! (Sounds like the Genesis Flood story to me!)
It is now clear that the godless scientific
world plotted, with the help of Darwin’s theory, to come up with any
creative view to debunk the flood story. Though not a Christian,
Immanuel Velikovsky picked up the mantel and did an outstanding job in
putting down evolution. He did it by going back and bringing forward
what was well established in geology as far back as around 1860. He did
an outstanding service to biblical Christianity in his books Earth in
Upheaval, and Worlds in Collision, but the cover up in the field of
geology goes on! Velikovsky was vilified and even a bounty was put on
his head! He had to be silenced because he had destroyed the
evolutionary sacred cow!
Darwin purposely worked hard to deny the Flood evidence. Over
and over again, he admitted he had no answers in trying to put down the
obvious evidence well-known by the true scientific field of that day.
