Art for Jesus - in Japan

"...I agree that there was a catastrophic flood. In fact, we bought a book online about seven or eight years ago called When The Earth Nearly Died by two authors whose names I can't remember. (We loaned the book to someone and never got it back...) It was published in the United Kingdom, and the two authors were a geologist and some sort of social scientist. They were not Christian.

The fascinating thing about this book was that it built a compelling case for a catastrophic, world-wide flood at a relatively recent geologic age [considering these people were apparently not creationists]: about 11, 500 BC. (Of course, this date is not actually provable.)

They even gave compelling reasons to believe that much of the striation and other marks attributed to ice, generally, is more likely the result of water. They also discussed the presence of forests of trees buried under parts of the USA, etc etc.

It was a fascinating read, all in all...and most interesting coming from two men who did not approach the subject from the position of attempting to prove the reliability of the Bible."
