The scientific community, as Les Feldick teaches, responds to contradictory evidence by rejecting, ignoring, and being willingly ignorant of it, especially when it points to Noah's flood.
Les points out that no college textbook ever mentions the flood, and that scientists dismiss physical evidence such as intact fossils and mixed shell deposits. Instead of reconsidering their long-age assumptions, they continue to ignore the evidence. He contrasts this with archaeologists, who will report findings that confirm Scripture.
Romans 1:20 — This verse shows that the evidence of creation is plain to all, so rejecting it is a moral choice that leaves people without excuse—a point Les applies to scientists who ignore flood evidence.
The Bible teaches that people deliberately suppress the truth of God's creation. Romans 1:18 says, 'For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.' Romans 1:20 adds that God's invisible attributes are 'clearly seen' in creation, leaving everyone without excuse. The evidence is not hidden, but mankind refuses to acknowledge it because of unrighteousness.
Les Feldick teaches that the scientific community largely rejects the fact of Noah's flood because it would radically alter their long-age, evolutionary view of planetary history. He notes that no college or high school textbook in science ever maintains the flood, and that scientists are 'willingly ignorant' of it. He cites evidence such as intact fragile fossils in glaciated regions, mixed freshwater and seawater shells, and huge burial grounds of animals as indications of a catastrophic global flood. Les also contrasts this with archaeologists, many of whom are agnostics, but who do report findings that line up with Scripture, such as ancient brick-making with straw. Les himself says he is a creationist and does not agree with geological ages or the evolutionary approach, though he allows that the gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 could have been any length of time.
The Bible says that men 'hold the truth in unrighteousness' (Romans 1:18) and that God's eternal power and Godhead are clearly seen in creation (Romans 1:20). So the evidence for the Creator is visible to everyone. The problem is not lack of evidence, but a deliberate refusal to acknowledge it.
Les points to several physical observations that he says are best explained by Noah's flood. He mentions fragile fossils found intact in areas where glaciers supposedly ground rocks to powder, which he says scientists cannot explain. He also cites areas where freshwater and seawater shells are found together, along with great burial grounds of animals. Les says this is 'ample evidence all around the planet that there was some tremendous event that totally tore this planet apart.'
Les says the intellectual community rejects the flood because it would overturn their whole framework. He notes that no college or high school textbook in either literature, history, or science ever maintains the fact of Noah's flood. He also points out that scientists for the most part are 'willingly ignorant' of the flood, even though flood accounts appear in cultures around the world. The rejection, he says, is not because of evidence, but because of a predetermined commitment to long ages.
Les gives an exception: archaeologists. He says, 'Bless the archaeologists, most of them are agnostics and they are atheists or whatever, but at least when they find something that is in line with Scripture, they do report it.' He gives the example of higher critics scoffing at the idea of using straw to make bricks, but archaeologists later found that the ancients did indeed make bricks with straw. He says this silenced the critics and showed the Word of God is very true.
Textbooks Never Mention the Flood
Les says college textbooks on the sciences never make any reference to Noah's flood; scientists completely reject and ignore it, which is why they resist teaching creation.
Unexplained Fossils in Glaciated Areas
Les points out that fragile fossils remain intact where glaciers supposedly ground rock to powder, a contradiction scientists cannot explain, so they avoid the flood explanation.
Les's Creationist Stance on Geological Ages
Les says he does not agree with geological ages or the evolutionary approach; he is a creationist but allows an unknown time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
Scientists Willingly Ignorant of the Flood
Les says scientists for the most part reject the flood and are 'willingly ignorant' of it, even though ancient cultures worldwide preserved flood accounts.
Creation Evidence Leaves No Excuse
Les teaches that anyone can look at the starry sky and conclude there is a Creator, so people are without excuse when they reject the evidence.
Scientists Will Not Accept the Flood
Les says scientists will not accept that the world was totally demolished and renovated by Noah's flood, and no college or high school textbook will maintain that fact.
Ample Evidence of Catastrophic Flood
Les cites mixed freshwater and seawater shells and great burial yards of animals as ample evidence of a catastrophic global event that scientists choose to ignore.
Archaeologists Report Biblical Evidence
Les notes that many archaeologists are agnostics or atheists, but when they discover something that lines up with Scripture, such as bricks made with straw, they do report it, silencing the critics.
Romans 1:18: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
This shows that the rejection of visible evidence is an act of suppressing the truth, which Les applies to scientists who ignore flood evidence.
Romans 1:20: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
This is the key verse Les cites to show that the evidence for a Creator is plain, so rejecting it leaves people without excuse.
Les says they are 'willingly ignorant' and reject the flood, and he notes that no college textbook ever mentions it. He doesn't call them dishonest, but he implies they ignore evidence rather than examine it fairly.
Les mentions intact fragile fossils in glaciated areas, mixed freshwater and seawater shells, and enormous burial grounds of animals. He says these are ample evidence that a tremendous event tore the planet apart.
Les says archaeologists, though many are agnostics, do report findings that align with Scripture, such as ancient brick-making with straw. This contrasts with the scientific community's general rejection of flood evidence.
No. Les says he is a creationist and does not agree with the evolutionary approach or geological ages. However, he allows that there may have been a gap of unknown duration between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
