Abstract
The view that the Genesis Flood totally revamped the prediluvian world has its proponents contradicting themselves. Their claim that modern mountain ranges arose only after the Flood is in conflict both with common sense and with scientific observations of mountain building. Their theories of the state of the earth before the flood, with an atmospheric "canopy" and a subterranean "great deep," are implausible. Their mechanism for the Flood would produce earthquakes and tsunamis, or even a free fall, that the ark would not survive. As its proponents present it, "Flood Geology" is clearly unacceptable.
