Is There Evidence of a Great Flood?

Direct Answer

Yes—Les Feldick says there is evidence of a great flood all over the globe, but the provided transcripts focus on physical and geological evidence, not on flood legends from other cultures.

In the clips given, Les does not cite Babylonian, Polynesian, or Inca flood traditions. Instead, he says 'there's evidence all over the globe,' pointing to loess deposits, vast dead-fish accumulations, and the wholesale renovation of the planet. He also says this evidence is ignored by textbooks and modern scholarship, which he connects to 2 Peter 3:5-6.

Key Scriptures

2 Peter 3:5-6 — Peter explicitly warns that men will be willingly ignorant of the flood, which is exactly the attitude Les says he sees in schools and textbooks.

Genesis 7:20 — Scripture records that the flood waters covered the mountains, showing the global scale of the flood that Les describes.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible records Noah's flood as a real event that covered the whole earth. In Genesis 7:20, the text states, "Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered." This is not a local overflow; the mountains were covered by water. The Apostle Peter also speaks of the flood as a global judgment. He warns that in the last days men will be willingly ignorant "that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" (2 Peter 3:5-6). Scripture itself, then, points backward to the flood as an event men will deny.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Evidence for the Flood?

Les Feldick does not, in the provided transcripts, reference flood traditions from Babylon, Polynesia, or the Incas. Instead, he answers the question of evidence by pointing to physical remains. He says "there's evidence all over the globe," citing loess deposits laid down everywhere on the planet, huge areas of accumulated dead fish discovered by archaeologists, and the fact that today's mountains, canyons, and ocean beds are all the result of Noah's flood. He also stresses that this evidence is deliberately ignored. He says you cannot find a single college or high school textbook in literatures, history, or sciences that will maintain the fact of Noah's flood, and he ties that rejection to 2 Peter 3:5-6—people are willingly ignorant of the flood. Finally, Les describes the flood as a sudden, catastrophic event. The pre-flood world was highly populated and had "tremendous technology," but there was no time to escape. The floodwaters, along with volcanic and earthquake activity, erased the pre-flood civilization and left only the fossil record as a testimony. After the flood, the eight survivors' knowledge of God faded within about 200 years, and the population gathered at the Tower of Babel to embrace pagan worship.

What Physical Evidence Does Les Feldick Cite for the Flood?

Les says there is "evidence all over the globe." He mentions loess—a soil product from volcanic action—found everywhere on the planet, including ocean floors, and says the only logical explanation is Noah's flood. He also points to vast accumulations of dead fish found by archaeologists that can have no other explanation, and he holds that today's mountains, canyons, and ocean beds are all results of the flood. He further argues the pre-flood world was highly populated with tremendous technology, leaving no time to escape.

Why Are Schools and Textbooks Silent About Noah's Flood?

Les says he cannot find a single college or high school textbook in literature, history, or science that will maintain the fact of Noah's flood. He connects this to 2 Peter 3:5-6, where Scripture says men will be "willingly ignorant" of the fact that the world perished by water.

Did the Flood Come Only from Rain?

Les taught that originally the earth was covered with water. God removed a portion into the atmosphere and made seas of the rest, and then "it all came back down and covered the planet totally." He also stresses the tremendous volcanic and earthquake activity involved, and says the Scripture records that even the highest point was fifteen cubits under water.

What Happened to the Pre-Flood World?

Les describes the flood as "tumultuous" and "cataclysmic"—the whole planet erupted instantaneously. This is why he says evidence of pre-flood civilization has been almost totally removed; the fossil record is the only logical exception. He also says everything we see today—mountains, rivers, canyons, ocean beds—is a result of Noah's flood.

Does Les Feldick Discuss Other Cultures' Flood Legends in These Transcripts?

In the provided transcripts, Les does not mention Babylonian, Polynesian, or Inca flood traditions. Instead, he presents geological and archaeological evidence "all over the globe" and notes the world's intellectual community rejects the flood. The answer to the question of evidence in other cultures, therefore, is not directly covered in these clips; the evidence Les gives here is physical rather than cultural.

From the Teaching

Willingly Ignorant of the Flood

Les connects the modern refusal to accept Noah's flood with Peter's warning that men would be 'willingly ignorant' of the flood, saying no textbook in literature, history, or science maintains the flood.

Dead Fish and Oil Deposits

Les cites large accumulations of dead fish found by archaeologists as evidence that the flood killed water creatures too, and says some biblical geologists link crude oil to those remains.

Loess Deposits Worldwide

Les points to loess, a soil product from volcanic action, found everywhere on the planet, as logical evidence of the volcanic upheaval that accompanied Noah's flood.

Cataclysmic Renewal

Les describes the flood as tumultuous and cataclysmic, saying the planet erupted instantaneously and removed the evidence of the pre-flood civilization except for the fossil record.

Everything Points to the Flood

Les says today's mountains, canyons, ocean beds, and even the location of Middle East oil all result from Noah's flood, showing a completely renovated planet.

Where the Water Came From

Les explains the flood water was already present in the earth's original covering, part of it held in the atmosphere, and then 'came back down' to cover the planet amid volcanic and earthquake activity.

A Populous High-Tech World

Les argues the pre-flood earth had a tremendous population and technology but no time to escape when the flood came instantly.

From the Ark to Babel

After the flood, the eight survivors knew God, yet within 200 years the population was gathered at the Tower of Babel ready to embrace pagan worship—showing how quickly the post-flood world forgot the judgment.

Bible Verses

2 Peter 3:5-6: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

This verse is central because Les says modern textbooks are exactly fulfilling this prediction by ignoring the flood.

Genesis 7:20: Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

The Bible's own claim that the flood covered the mountains supports the global scale Les describes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Les Feldick cite flood traditions from other cultures, like Babylon or the Incas?

No—in the transcripts provided, Les does not reference specific cultural flood legends. He instead points to physical evidence found around the globe and says that despite this, textbooks and scholars refuse to accept Noah's flood.

What is the strongest evidence Les gives for the flood?

He repeatedly mentions loess deposits spread everywhere on earth, massive accumulations of dead fish, and the complete renovation of the planet—mountains, canyons, and ocean beds—all of which he says can only be explained by Noah's flood.

Why do people reject the flood?

Les cites 2 Peter 3:5-6: they are "willingly ignorant." He also observes that no college or high school textbook in literature, history, or science maintains the fact of Noah's flood.
