Science has dated the end of the last Ice Age to about 10,000 years ago. Conservative Biblical scholars, of the kind who hold that the Biblical Flood was a real, divinely created event, have dated the Creation to more recently than 10,000 years ago, and thus the Flood even more recently than that. Therefore, the dates of the Biblical flood and the last Ice Age cannot be compared because they derive from completely unconnected chronologies.
There is no evidence for a great flood except for an influx of fresh water from the Hudson Bay area towards the end of the last glaciation which brought on a temporary cold period in the North Atlantic area about 12,500 years ago. The present ice age started over 2.5 million years ago and has been notable for many glaciations and interglacial periods such as the present interglacial.
The ice age occurred over different periods starting around 2.4 million years ago. The Great Flood, believed by some to be the event in the biblical story of Noah, is thought to have happened around 5,000-7,000 years ago. Therefore, there is a difference of several thousand years between the ice age and Noah's flood.
Only those who are very religious believe in a flood because the only "evidence" for a world wide flood is in religious books and not in any reputable publications. As for a "flood" causing an ice age, again there is no reputable evidence for this.
The last ice age, known as the Great Ice Age or the Pleistocene Epoch, lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to around 11,700 years ago. So, it has been approximately 11,700 years since the last ice age ended.
No.add. One idea of a great flood possibly arose from observing shells and marine organisms well above current sea levels. The explanations given were without rigorous foundation.A better possibility is that it was the flooding of the Black Sea from the Mediterranean Sea towards the close of the ice ages. There are undoubtedly man made structures at about 100m deep under the Black Sea. And also fresh water snail remains.This flooding is believed by some to be as recent as less than 6000 BC. Well within the range of human habitation.And the arrival of such a flood would have been an easy prediction just by watching the water levels rise on the Mediterranean side. The minimum depth in the Bosphorous Strait is 36 m, and the sea level rise consequent upon the end of the ice ages would be about 100m. The proximity of the fabled Mt Ararat adds a little substance to this idea.
No, the Ice Age did not automatically follow the world wide flood. The Drain Off followed the world wide flood.

We are in an ice age because we have a great thickness of ice at the poles. This is not normal unless we are in an ice age.
Young Earth Creationists say there was a climate change after the biblical Flood, that this was 'the' Ice Age that scientists talk about. They say the Ice Age that must have come just over four thousand years ago explains the geological formations, such as the Grand Canyon, that clearly are the result of erosion. That view is considered totally unscientific by real scientists. They say that the world is immensely old, there was no great, world-wide Flood to be followed by an Ice Age, and that there were actually several Ice Ages over a very long period of time. There is no record of an Ice Age within recent history, and such an incredibly short period of climate change could not have left the legacy of the real Ice Ages. There was no Noah's Flood and there was no climate change to follow it.
ice age,Noahs flood in bible
Ice Age 2: The Melt Down. Great flick.
ice age
Creationists believe that ice caps were formed through natural processes such as the post-Flood Ice Age, which is seen as a result of the catastrophic global flood described in the Bible. They attribute the formation of ice caps to a combination of volcanic activity, plate tectonics, and changing atmospheric conditions following the flood event.

If you're talking about the movie Ice Age, then yes dinosaurs came first, but if it's the first ice age, then ice age, as it was approximately 650 million years ago. Hope this answer was useful for you.
In my own opinion, the great flood composed of 2 theories. One being the repetition of the "Great Flood" where God cleanses the earth by means of raining for 40 days and 40 nights. And secondly the theories of some scientists that because of Global Warming the ice from North Pole will become a total meltdown which would cause a Great Flood that will flood the whole earth itself.
