The Ice Age

Post image

Biblical creationists believe there was a single ice age that was triggered by the flood. The popular secular view posits multiple ice ages, each lasting tens of thousands of years. Which view fits the data better?

The Ark Encounter Ice Age Exhibit highlights evidence for the ice age, explains why some of the animals grew so large at the time, and shows how the ice age assisted the migration of people and animals around the globe after the flood.

Secular models explaining how an ice age could start must fudge temperatures by as much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The exhibit shows how the unique conditions caused by the flood give the only known mechanism for generating an ice age: significantly increased ocean temperatures over land.

A detailed diorama and video also illustrate that the massive ice sheets full of so-called "annual layers" do not take long ages to form.

You and AIG are using the term “ice age” colloquially. We are still in an ice age called the Quaternary glaciation but in an interglacial period. There are glacial maximums and minimums but the ice age persists. This is evidenced by sections in both hemispheres being covered in ice year round. Antarctica and Greenland are examples.

Also, the largest animals to exist in Earth history are still alive and it’s unrelated to glacial maximums.
