How Did Noah's Flood Happen? a Theory — Kent Hovind

Well, thank you for joining us tonight, my name is Kent Hovind, I was a high school science teacher for 15 years, and now for the last 11 years I've been traveling around speaking on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs.

In my seminar we cover a whole variety of topics, let me give a quick review of what we covered so far. The Bible teaches that God made the entire world in 6 days about 6 ,000 years ago. The earth is not billions of years old like the textbooks teach.

And then 4 ,400 years ago there was a flood, and that's what we're going to talk about tonight, what caused the flood and what effects did it leave behind. Now before the flood came, the world was a lot different.

The people lived to be 900 years old. And that was the time of the giant dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were just big lizards that lived with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They did not live millions of years ago.

And then Noah took dinosaurs on the ark, we cover all that on videotape number 3, and on tape number 2 I forgot to mention we cover why did they live to be 900 and what the original creation was like.

And then we cover on video number 4 about lies in the textbooks that are presented to try to get the kids to believe in this crazy evolution theory. They're just plain lies in the textbooks, folks, there's no nice way to say it.

Now watch video number 4 if you missed that one. And on tape number 5 we cover the philosophical effect of this evolution teaching. If man is just an animal, well then what effect will that have on the world?

And we show how that ties in with communism and socialism and Marxism and the new world order coming soon to a city near you. But tonight we want to talk about the flood. What caused the flood in the days of Noah?

The Creator, the Fall of Humanity, and the Judgment of the Flood

The Bible says God created the heaven and the earth. And our founding fathers had a philosophy that said we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. They believed there was a creator and he decided what was right and wrong.

And the original creation was a lot different. There was a canopy of water overhead. We cover that on videotape number 2 about the water above the atmosphere mentioned in Genesis 1, 6, and 7, which explains why they lived to be 900 years old.

Average age before the flood was 912. After the flood, when that canopy of water was gone, it dropped off to 400 and then 200 and then 100. And today not many make it to 100. And nearly all ancient cultures have a legend about a time called the Golden Age when people used to live to be 1 ,000.

Of course, the Bible says 969 is the oldest, but these legends, of course, get stretched a little bit. But there really was a time when people lived to be nearly 1 ,000 years old. And in the pre-flood world, it was absolutely incredible.

It was so different. So why would God destroy this perfect world? He's got this beautiful world with great people, huge people probably, probably 8 or 10 feet tall. We cover that on video number 2 of why did they get so big and live so long.

And dinosaurs and a beautiful plush Garden of Eden situation just about all over the earth. Why would God destroy the world? And how did this happen? I mean, why would the world flood all of a sudden?

Beautiful world and God decides to destroy it. I mean, why? In Genesis 6, God saw the wickedness of man. It was great in the earth and the thoughts and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Sounds about like today, doesn't it? And the Lord said, it repented the Lord that he made man on the earth and it grieved him at his heart. He said, that's it. I'm going to wipe out the earth. I will destroy man.

It repented me that I have made them. The earth was corrupt and filled with violence and all flesh had corrupted his way. The Bible says, and God said unto Noah, I want you to build an ark. There's going to be a flood.

So God decided, decided to destroy the world because of man's wickedness. The world had to suffer because of man's disobedience. So in second Peter, the Bible says in the last days, there shall come scoffers walking after their own lust.

And they're going to say, where is the promise of his coming for where since the father's fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation for this, they willingly are ignorant of notice that phrase, willingly ignorant in the Greek.

That means dumb on purpose. The scoffers are willingly ignorant of two things. Number one, how God made the heavens and the earth and you're standing in the water and out of the water. We cover all that on video.

Number two of what this phrase means, the canopy of water that was overhead. But the scoffers are ignorant of the creation. The second thing they're ignorant of is the flood whereby the world then was being overflowed with water perished.

This world was completely wiped out by a flood in the days of Noah. So why would God use a flood? Why not just perform a miracle and say, okay, everybody except Noah die. I mean, couldn't God do that?

Sure. Why would God use a flood? I mean, that did make a mess out of the whole real, all the real estate, didn't it? Didn't probably wreck Noah's house and everybody else's house. If they had one, if you needed one back then, why would God use a flood?

Well, for one thing, there's several reasons why I think God may have used a flood. A flood left evidence where a miracle would not. Number two, the effects are here to remind us of God's judgment on sin.

And number three, with a flood, there was a warning time when people had a chance to repent. God said, Noah, start building that boat. When that boat's done, folks haven't repented by then. It's too late.

I mean, this was an obvious sign of God's mercy and his love and his grace. He wanted everybody. He's not willing that any should perish. He wants all to re-come to repentance, the Bible says. So what caused the flood in the days of Noah?

Pangaea, Continental Drift, and Biblical Geology

We're going to cover that tonight. What about Pangaea? How many of you have been taught that all the continents used to fit together in one big super continent called Pangaea? Well what about Pangaea?

What does the Bible say about this? And where does the ice age fit into the Bible? And what froze the mammoths anyway? The big hairy elephants. And how did the mountains and oceans form? We're going to cover some of these tonight.

This will not be very evangelistic, you know, preachy kind of stuff. Just mostly information to give you a new worldview to explain how the flood can explain everything we see in the world today. Why would the world flood suddenly?

Could it rain enough to cover the whole world? Where did all the water go? I mean, that's a good question. Where is all that water anyway? And what is the evidence? Well, let's talk about a few of these things tonight.

What about Pangaea? You are taught in school that all the continents used to fit together in one big super continent. This textbook says, South America and Africa seem to be a perfect fit, right? Typical textbook propaganda.

They're going to say the shapes of the continents seem to fit. There are similar fossils on opposite sides of the ocean. And they're going to use magnetic lines at the bottom of the mid-Atlantic ridge.

These are the three lines of evidence to support the Pangaea theory. There are some things they don't tell you. What they don't tell you kids in school is, in order to make the continents fit, they had to shrink Africa 40%.

They also don't tell you that Mexico and all of Central America is gone. Take a careful look at your Pangaea map and tell me, where is Mexico? Panama City or Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua.

Where are they? Hmm. Just flat gone, aren't they? They also don't tell you that several continents were rotated one way and another was rotated the other way. You don't just twist a continent around. They also do not tell you, if you took the water out of the oceans, you would notice there is dirt underneath.

These continents are not lily pads floating around in a bathtub, folks. They are connected. All right? The Earth has a solid crust to it. I think the kids ought to be told there's another way to look at this.

It is true the Earth appears to be cracked up. I've been to the San Andreas Fault, the Hayward Fault, the New Madrid Fault. None of them are my fault, but I've been there, done that, seen it, have t-shirts.

But, let's just look at the evidence they're giving and look at this from another side. I think kids ought to get educated, not indoctrinated, so let's just show them all sides of this Pangaea thing. You're going to be told in school that the bottom of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has magnetic reversals.

Now watch out for this because this is simply not true. There are no magnetic reversals. By the time it ends up in your textbook, it shows like nice, neat lines of alternating polarity, the textbook will say.

It's just not true, folks. That is a lie. Actually, and the experts will tell you, the magnetic crustal blocks do not represent reality. It didn't happen that way. What happened, as they checked along the bottom of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, they found areas of stronger and weaker magnetism.

Not reversals, stronger and weaker. And so they made a sine wave of stronger, weaker, stronger, weaker, stronger, weaker, as they dragged the machine across. Somebody came along and drew a line through the middle of the sine wave and said, everything below the line is a reversal.

Well, that's simply not true. The line should have gone way down there. See, there are no magnetic reversals on the ocean floor. There's only areas of stronger and weaker magnetism. In Genesis 7, it says the fountains of the deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened.

What I think happened to cause these magnetic anomalies down there, the fountains of the deep broke open. The Bible says there was more water under the crust of the earth. We'll get into more of that later.

When that water came shooting out to the surface, the earth ripped like seams on a baseball and the crust above went sliding away, opening up a crack. As the water came shooting out, it would widen the crack and slide the continents away.

They would be sliding down. As they slid down, the underneath part would bulge up. Now the sublayer is called basalt. As it bulged up in the crack, it would develop cracks in it, or fissures, which are going to fill in with water.

Water is going to rush into the crack. Now the neat thing about basalt, if it's very hot, it doesn't store a strong magnetic signature. Whereas if it's cooled off, it stores a stronger magnetic signature.

So all they were measuring was where the cracks are in the mid-Atlantic ridge. Stronger and weaker magnetism, they weren't measuring reversals. There aren't any reversals down there. The magnetic field does not reverse.

There is no place on the ocean floor where a north-seeking compass will point south by the rocks down there. It just isn't true. So don't fall for that. The earth is cracked up. That's not the question.

But it didn't happen slowly over billions of years. It probably happened during the flood. And the textbooks are going to say that the ocean floor is being subducted or recycled. This is also a very important part of the Pangea theory, and I'll tell you why.

There's not enough mud in the oceans for billions of years of accumulation. See, when it rains, dirt washes off the hills and runs into the oceans. Eventually, it all ends up in the ocean. But there's only enough mud down there for a few thousand years' worth of erosion.

So it's kind of an embarrassing problem. You know, if the earth is billions of years old, why isn't there more mud in the ocean? So they come up with this theory of Pangea and the subducting of the continents to answer the embarrassing problem of where's the missing mud?

They're going to say, well, it's being recycled. Well, I don't think so. Textbooks are going to say that the continents are moving away about as fast as your fingernails grow. Not too fast, right? There's no actual positive proof of this.

There's some good theories, and the continents may be moving away. However, continental plate movement does not prove they've always been moving, obviously. It does not prove the rate has always been the same.

And students should be told there are other options. There are some other options to explain this. I live just a few miles south of Interstate 10 in Pensacola, Florida, right there. Interstate 10 goes from Los Angeles all the way to Jacksonville.

If I see somebody headed east at 70 miles an hour on Interstate 10, does that prove they started in Los Angeles four days ago? Well, no, they might have just got on at the last exit, right? And if you see the continents moving a little bit, that doesn't prove they've always been moving.

They might have just started at the time of the flood in the days of Noah. So, continental drift theory is important for the evolutionists because they're trying to avoid two embarrassing problems. Number one, the magnetic field of the Earth is getting weaker, indicating less than 25 ,000 years for the age of the Earth.

So they have to get an answer. They'll say, well, it's reversing itself. No, I'm sorry. It is not reversing itself. Don't fall for that, OK? The simple fact is the Earth is not millions of years old. Secondly, there is very little sediment in the ocean, indicating only a few thousand years of accumulation.

So that's why the continental drift and Pangea theory is really pushed on these kids, not because the theory is reasonable, but because it answers some embarrassing problems and keeps them able to believe the Earth is billions of years old.

The Ice Age and the Frozen Mammoths

Now, what about the ice age? Was there ever an ice age? I mean, did the ice come all the way down to Kansas City, Missouri? Oh, yeah, there really was an ice age, folks. Well, where does the ice age fit into the Bible?

And what froze the mammoths, the big, huge, hairy, hippie elephants that are found frozen? Some of them are standing up, food still in their stomach, food in their teeth, undigested. What happened to the mammoths anyway?

Well, I got curious about these mammoths. You know, in one year I heard they took out 20 ,000 pairs of tusks. They go up there and dig them out. They call them ivory mines. Nobody knows for sure how many mammoths perished, but many experts estimate it could have been as many as five million mammoths perished around the polar regions.

We find them all over in Florida. Of course, they're not frozen down there. They're petrified or coalified. But up around the North Polar region, some of them are still frozen. How many saw the news a couple weeks ago when they got the big, giant mammoth completely intact and took it out of the ice?

They're going to try to get mammoth DNA and clone it with an elephant or something. I hope they do. It'd be neat. OK, it wouldn't prove evolution, but it would be a neat thing. But what about these mammoths anyway?

What is the truth about this? They're found all over Siberia and Russia and Alaska. What happened to the mammoths? Well, the mammoths are frozen upright. A few of them are, not all of them. Their undigested food is still in their stomach and in their mouth.

They died of suffocation. There is no water found in the lungs. So don't let somebody tell you they fell into a river and drowned. That is not true. First place, if you fall into a river, you don't freeze solid into a block of ice.

It takes a long time to freeze because it might be 50 below outside. But once you get under the ice, it's 32 degrees. So they're not going to freeze. Next, there's small ice crystals in the blood, indicating they probably froze in less than five hours.

If they would have frozen slowly, the crystals would be bigger. So how do you freeze an elephant in five hours? I got curious about this. So when I get curious about something, I don't know any better than to start asking questions.

I called everybody I could think of that might have an answer. I wanted to see how long it would take to freeze an elephant. So I called Birdseye Frozen Food People in New York. I really did. I called up, talked to one of the scientists there.

I said, hello, sir. If I stuck an elephant in the freezer, what would happen? He was silent on the other end of the phone for a few moments. Finally, he said, you'd have a crowded freezer. I said, well, yeah, I know that.

But how long how long would it take to freeze an elephant? He said, well, meat freezes about 12 inches every 24 hours. What's going to happen if you stick an elephant in the freezer? The outside is going to freeze and the heat is going to be trapped inside and the middle is going to rot out because the heat is trapped with an ice insulator around the outside.

I said, well, that's not going to work because the mammoth, I want to freeze the elephant. I got to keep the food in his stomach still green, still fresh. And after he's dead, the stomach acid doesn't know he's dead.

It's going to keep working. And so I need to freeze him in less than five hours. And I call physics professors and meatpacking houses and Birdseye and everybody I can think of who might know. And the consensus of opinion was that if you want to freeze a mammoth in less than five hours, you have to put him in something about 300 below zero Fahrenheit, like liquid nitrogen.

Well, it never gets 300 below zero here on Earth. I've got the map of the South Pole from National Pornographic Geographic over here. The coldest temperature ever recorded is minus 127. That's pretty chilly, but that's not cold enough to freeze the mammoth.

Where do you get something 300 below zero? Well, so that I'm going to give you the hope and theory of what I think happened. And I have to give credit to lots of other people. I've read so many different books from varieties of opinions on what caused all these things to happen.

I've had to try to put it all together into one theory that makes sense to me. Now, maybe you've got a different theory. I'll listen to any theory you got. I think what our job is, since this is a one time past historical event, we can't prove any of it.

We put the pieces together and develop a theory and see if it fits. So let's look at the Hoban theory tonight and see if it fits. But before I give you the Hoban theory, I need to review some science.

There is a law in physics called the inverse square law, which basically says if two objects are attracted to each other by two magnets or two planets with gravity pulling them together, the force of attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

In English, that means if you would half the distance, you would quadruple the traction. See, the earth and the moon are pulling on each other with gravity. If you brought the moon into one third the distance, you would take that one third, inverse it and square it.

It would be nine times the gravitational pull at one third of the distance. Inverse square laws apply when you're dealing with forces involving gravity, light, magnetism and girls. When the distance is halved, the attraction is quadrupled.

Now, see, I travel every week. I've been home five Sundays, I believe in 10 years. I travel a lot, which means I get to come home every week. And when I get about 20 feet away from my wife, it's hello, dear.

How are you doing? When you half the distance, it's wow, you looking good, honey. When you have to distance again, it's too late. So the secret, fellas, is stay about 20 feet away and that'll cause most of the problems to disappear.

This is the inverse square law. OK, the next thing to keep in mind, a spinning top behaves in a very particular way. OK, if a spinning top is struck by something, it'll wobble around and it'll recover spinning smoothly at a new angle.

But as it wobbled, it followed a very predictable pattern. You can actually determine when a spinning object was struck by looking at the wobble that it does. If you graph it out over time, you can say, well, it was impacted about right there.

Interesting. OK, the earth has obviously wobbled. There are all sorts of measurements and indicators to show that the earth has wobbled in its history. What caused the earth to wobble? Stonehenge is a strange solar observation point, apparently built to study or worship the sun at summer solstice.

But it doesn't line up today. Amun-Ra was built to study the sun, but it doesn't line up. George Dodwell, the famous Australian astronomer, got together all of the data on these solar observations. And he said, you know what, folks, it looks like something struck the earth and caused it to wobble.

Probably wobbled for a thousand years or so and finally stabilized. And today the earth is tilted over. Twenty three and a half degrees. Well, George Dodwell got all this information together from the observations the ancient people made of the summer solstice when the sun's as far north as it's going to get of the equator, which normally is June 20th or 21st, varies back and forth from day to day, but normally the 21st.

OK, George Dodwell said that the graph that he made showed that the earth had wobbled and he noticed the wobbling curve on his graph was exactly the same as a top struck by an object. It appeared to him that something struck the earth four thousand three hundred and fifty years ago.

Well, now let's see. Forty three hundred and fifty years ago is about the time of the biblical flood. So what happened anyway? Could it be that something struck the earth to cause the flood? That's part of the theory I'm going to give you tonight on what caused the flood in the days of Noah.

Today, the earth is tilted over and that's what causes our seasons. And the first mention of cold weather is in Genesis chapter eight after the flood. They may not have had any cold weather. See, if the earth weren't tilted over, you'd have springtime all the time.

It would still be a little colder at the poles and a little warmer at the equator, but generally springtime weather all year long. If the earth weren't tilted over, so it could very well be that that's the way the earth used to be.

The next thing to keep in mind, the moon has craters on it, but the craters are not evenly distributed. See, if the moon were hit by meteors just over random chance over billions of years, the craters would be evenly distributed, but they're not.

It's almost like a catastrophe formed the craters on the moon. The same thing on Mercury. The craters are not evenly distributed. So what happened? Anyway, Mars has canyons on it that are bigger than Grand Canyon.

And yet there is very little, if any water on Mars. How do you get canyon erosion canyons bigger than Grand Canyon? Whatever used to be on Mars is that formed all this erosion is obviously gone. There are no giant oceans there.

What happened to form the craters on the planet and the canyons on Mars? We'll recover that in the Hopan theory. The next thing you need to keep in mind, there is an effect called the Meissner effect, where two magnets will float.

If one is placed on top of another, the magnet will float. How many have heard of what I'm talking about? That is called the Meissner effect, probably named after Meissner would be my guess. Next thing to keep in mind, there are comets flying around through space, and these comets are extremely cold.

Oftentimes comets are flying around and they're three to 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Don't lick it. I need to find out now if anybody is or was as dumb as I was as a kid. How many of you have a piece of your tongue stuck to a pump handle or a flagpole someplace in the world, right?

I got off the bus at school. My big brother said, hey, I bet you can't lick the flagpole. You know, some January day, about 10 below zero. What's wrong with licking the flagpole? I can lick it if I want to spend the next 10 minutes crying for somebody to come get the water and pour it on your tongue.

Well, super cold objects exist in outer space, three to 400 below zero. Oh, hey, now that's cold enough to freeze the mammoths. Normal 127 below zero is not cold enough. OK, the next thing to keep in mind, if you throw a snowball too fast, it'll break apart in midair.

You couldn't possibly shoot a cannon or shoot an ice ball or snowball out of a cannon. It would break apart before it made it out the end of the barrel. It just there's a certain speed beyond which it will not go.

It'll break apart. The next thing to keep in mind, the Earth has a magnetic field, and that's what causes the northern lights. As the energy particles from the sun strike the magnetic field, they are deflected, and most of them end up around the north and south pole.

How many have ever seen the northern lights before? I've gotten to see them several times as I travel and preach just absolutely gorgeous watching the sky light up. If you've never seen it, it's worth going to see the northern lights.

Next thing to keep in mind, the pre-flood world was a lot different than the world today. A lot different. The Bible teaches there was water above the atmosphere, probably a layer of ice held up by the Meissner effect.

This was mentioned in Genesis 1, 6, and 7. It's mentioned in 2 Peter 3 and mentioned in Psalm 148, water above the atmosphere. So the Earth was a lot different. The next thing to keep in mind before we give you the Hovind theory, there's a guy in the Bible named Peleg.

Who was Peleg anyway? If you're reading Genesis chapter 10, I hate to say this about the Bible preacher, but Genesis 10 is a boring chapter. It's got all those big names in there that nobody can pronounce except Alexander Scorby.

You know, so-and-so begat so-and-so and he begat so-and-so. And you get all this begatting going on and you come along reading, trying to do your daily duty and read a chapter a day to keep the devil away.

And you get down to verse 25 and it says unto Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg. For in his days was the Earth divided. This is the first time it makes a comment about one of these guys.

Why does it say the Earth was divided in the days of Peleg? And then it says his brother's name was Joktan. Well, Joktan means shortening. Peleg means divided. Joktan means shortening. What happened in the days of Peleg anyway?

Well, we're going to get into that in the Hovind theory. What I think might have happened in the days of Peleg to divide and shorten, just like the Bible says. The next thing to keep in mind, the pre-flood world had a layer of water under the crust of the Earth.

This is mentioned in Psalm 136. It says he stretched out the Earth above the waters. There used to be a lot more water under the crust of the Earth. That's probably what came shooting to the surface during the flood and caused everybody to drown.

Most of the water for the flood did not come from the 40 days of rain. It came from the water that had been stored underneath subterranean water chambers. Of course, there's still a lot of water down there.

Next thing to keep in mind, there might be two ways to look at things. How fast was that calf going? If you remember video part number four about the calf puller. So we're going to give you the Hovind theory tonight.

The Hovind Theory: An Ice Meteor and the Worldwide Flood

What happened anyway? What caused all this to what caused the worldwide flood? I made a conscious decision years ago. I decided I'm going to believe the Bible until somebody can prove that it's wrong.

I had some friends I went to school with. They decided they are not going to believe the Bible until it is proven right. Maybe you heard about the atheist. He came to the preacher one day. He said, Preacher, I don't believe anything in the Bible.

He said, you don't. He said, I don't believe nothing except you got to prove it to me scientifically. If you can't prove it with science, I won't believe it. He said, Preacher, if you can prove one verse scientifically, I will believe it.

The preacher said, well, OK. He grabbed the atheist around the neck and grabbed his nose and began twisting his nose back and forth. Pretty soon the blood was pouring down the guy's face. He said, man, what are you doing?

He said, I was proving the Bible. It says the ringing of the nose bringeth forth blood. Proverbs chapter 30. Anyway, I don't recommend you do that. But just say that, by the way, what I'm going to do for the Hovind theory tonight, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you, and then I'm going to tell you what I told you.

And then when we're all done, we'll leave. So first, I'll tell you and then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you. I'll tell you what I'm going to tell you. Then I'm going to tell you and then I'm going to tell you what I told you.

And then we'll be done. That's supposed to be a good teaching technique. They say a quick review. Let's go through it very quickly. Eight points I want to get across tonight about the Hovind theory. Number one, Noah and his family got safely into the ark.

Number two, a 300 below zero ice meteor came flying through the solar system and it fragmented and cratered the planets and caused the rings around other planets. As this ice meteor approached the earth, it shattered because of the inverse square law and the speed building up.

And most of the shattered snow fragments and ice fragments were sucked in around the north and south pole because of the strong magnetic field of the earth. Number four, the sudden dump of ice on the earth caused the earth's crust to crack, which released the fountains of the deep.

It caused the earth to wobble around for a few thousand years, maybe a thousand years afterwards. And it caused the pre-flood canopy to collapse and it completely flooded the world. So the water came from three sources underneath inside the crust, came from rain and came from melting ice.

Those are the part of the Hovind theory. Number five, during the first few months of the flood, the dead animals would settle out in great swirling piles. And as the water swirled around, you would get fossil graveyards and the plants would pack and get buried into seams and they would become coal later on.

And you'd get fossil graveyards and coal formed by the flood. Number five, during the last few months of the flood, the earth, which had been cracked up now, the plates were unstable. These plates began shifting around and tilting, maybe plates as big as Texas, maybe plates as big as America.

They would shift and tilt. As one place goes up and another place goes down, the water is going to rush off. Carving Grand Canyon in a few hours. Water rushing off through soft sediments. Number seven, over the next few hundred years, the ice caps would slowly melt back.

That would raise the ocean levels, make the oceans deeper, colder and wider, which would divide the earth up into the continents we see today. And number eight, the earth today still shows the effects of that horrible flood that destroyed the world.

So that's the hope in theory. Let's go back and hit a few high points now. Noah and his family got safely into the ark. Genesis seven, and the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou, let me stop right there. God did not say to Noah, go into the ark, did he?

He said, come into the ark. Now tell me, where does God have to be in order to say that? In the ark. That'll preach, brother. There's a lot of comes in the Bible. Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden.

I'll give you rest. Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord. Isaiah 118. I think you ought to go through the Bible and study all the comes. And then you ought to come to Jesus if you're not saved.

He loves you. He wants you saved. He wants to put his yoke on you. It's easy. It's wonderful serving God in this life. Just come to him with your problems. He'll take care of them for you. Anyway, the Lord said, come into the ark.

And so all the critters went in two of each kind and seven of some. And then the Lord shut the door. That's a good eternal security verse, by the way. When God shuts the door, it won't leak. People say, brother, you believe you're eternally secure.

Yeah, I got born into God's family and he is stuck with me. Now, some of God's children, he takes them home and crowns them. Other children, he crowns them and takes them home. But if you're saved, you are eternally secure.

You are going to heaven. OK, so what happened is 300 below zero ice meteor came flying to the solar system and it began to break apart as it came through the solar system. Fragments began to hit the planets.

Chunks of ice would hit Mars. Now, Mars gets pretty hot in the daytime. And so the ice would melt and there would be floods all over Mars. But then it's going to vaporize and disappear, drift off, lost in space.

So the flooding happened on Mars, causing these giant canyons, probably at about the same time as the flood, as this catastrophe affected the whole solar system. As the fragments of meteor came flying through, some of them would get trapped in the spin of the planets in the gravitational pull, and they would become the rings around the planets.
