What Geological Evidence Supports the Occurrence of Noah's Flood?

Direct Answer

Yes — Les Feldick presents a global volcanic and earthquake catastrophe as the primary geological evidence, along with fossil deposits and today's landforms.

Les describes the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep as volcanic eruptions 'all around this planet' accompanied by tremendous earthquakes. He teaches that the flood was cataclysmic and that the present mountain ranges, rivers, canyons, and ocean beds came up as a result of it. He also points to fossilized accumulations of dead fish as archaeological evidence for the flood.

Key Scriptures

Genesis 7:11 — Genesis 7:11 is the verse Les associates with the breaking up of the fountains of the deep, which he interprets as volcanic eruptions.

Genesis 7:19-20 — These verses describe the waters covering all high hills and mountains, which Les uses to explain why present landforms come from the flood.

Genesis 9:19 — Les quotes this verse to show that the whole earth was overspread from Noah's three sons after the flood.

What Does the Bible Say?

The biblical flood account describes more than rain. Genesis 7:11 records that 'the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.' The text then says that the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, covering 'all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven' (Genesis 7:19). Even the mountains were covered (Genesis 7:20). Scripture does not use the modern term 'volcanoes,' but it explicitly speaks of the deep being broken up while the waters covered the planet.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Geological Evidence for Noah's Flood?

Les consistently shows that the flood was not a gentle rainstorm but a planet-wide, violent upheaval. He says that when the fountains of the great deep broke up, there was volcanic eruption everywhere around the planet, along with tremendous earthquakes, and the whole planet went into convulsions. He describes the flood as 'tumultuous' and 'cataclysmic,' removing the pre-flood civilization almost completely from the scene. Les also teaches that everything we see today — mountains, rivers, canyons, the Grand Canyon, and ocean beds — is the result of Noah's flood. He points to large fossil accumulations of dead fish as evidence that water creatures perished in the same catastrophe, and he notes that some biblical geologists connect crude oil pools to the flood's destruction of vegetation or sea creatures.

What Is the Primary Geological Evidence Les Cites?

Les directly identifies the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep as volcanic activity. He says that 'all around this planet there was volcanic eruption everywhere' and that tremendous earthquakes came with it. He describes the whole planet going into convulsions, making the flood a violent, instant catastrophe rather than a slow rising of rainwater.

Do Today's Mountains and Landforms Come from the Flood?

Les teaches that present-day mountain ranges came up as a result of Noah's flood. He says that everything on the scene tonight — our mountains, rivers, canyons, the Grand Canyon, and ocean beds — is the result of the flood. The planet was completely renovated, and all current topography began after the flood.

What Fossil Evidence Does Les Mention?

Les cites 'humongous areas of accumulated dead fish' discovered by archaeologists, saying they can have no other explanation than that they died in Noah's flood. He also mentions that some biblical geologists attribute crude oil pools either to decomposed vegetation or to great accumulations of fish destroyed in the flood.

Why Do Secular Textbooks Deny the Flood?

Les observes that high school and college textbooks consistently ignore or deny Noah's flood, even though the event is reflected in the flood legends of nearly every major culture. He says secular education refuses to admit that the world was once totally demolished and renovated by the flood.

From the Teaching

Fountains of the Deep as Volcanoes

Les explains that the fountains of the great deep breaking up point to volcanic eruptions and tremendous earthquakes all over the planet, not just rain.

Fossil Evidence of Dead Fish

Les cites huge fossil accumulations of dead fish as evidence that sea creatures died in Noah's flood, and he mentions oil pools connected to flood deposits.

Cataclysmic Renovation

Les stresses that the flood was cataclysmic and convulsive, removing most evidence of pre-flood civilization while leaving the fossil record.

Mountains from the Flood

Les says present mountain ranges came up as a result of the flood — the current earth's topography began on this side of Noah's flood.

Flood Legends in Cultures

Les points out that flood accounts appear in Babylonian, Polynesian, and other cultures as indirect corroboration rather than geological evidence.

Volcanic and Earthquake Activity

In explaining the flood's water source, Les again emphasizes tremendous volcanic and earthquake activity during the flood.

Secular Textbooks Deny the Flood

Les notes that high school and college textbooks deny or ignore Noah's flood, explaining why the geological evidence is not widely discussed.

All Landforms Post-Flood

Les teaches that everything on the scene today — mountains, rivers, canyons, the Grand Canyon, and ocean beds — is the result of Noah's flood.

Bible Verses

Genesis 7:11: In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

This is the foundational verse for Les's teaching that volcanic eruptions accompanied the flood.

Genesis 7:19: And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

The verse confirms the universal spread of the floodwaters over all high ground.

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

This verse emphasizes that even mountains were submerged, supporting the idea of massive geological upheaval.

Genesis 9:19: These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

Les quotes this verse to show that the present world population and geography came after the flood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What geological evidence does Les Feldick say proves Noah's flood?

Les points to worldwide volcanic eruptions and earthquakes accompanying the breaking up of the fountains of the deep. He also cites fossil fish deposits and teaches that today's mountains, rivers, canyons, and ocean beds are all results of the flood.

Does Les believe the Grand Canyon was formed by Noah's flood?

Yes. Les says that everything on the scene today — our mountains, rivers, canyons, the Grand Canyon, and ocean beds — is the result of Noah's flood.

Does Les say the flood was only rain?

No. Les emphasizes that the flood also involved the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, producing volcanic eruptions and tremendous earthquakes all over the planet.
