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.

How many years are there between the ice age and Noah's flood?

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.


Which was first the ice age or the great flood?

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.


Was there an ice age after the great flood?

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.


Did the meteor that landed in the Arizona desert cause the ice age?

No, the meteorite that caused the Barringer Crater in Arizona landed about 50,000 years ago had nothing to do with the ice age. The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and the crater was formed mid-way during the last glaciation.


What is one hypothesis for the ice age?

One hypothesis for the ice age is that changes in Earth's orbit and tilt caused variations in the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet, leading to temperature changes and the growth of ice sheets.

How do creationists say ice caps were formed?

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.


What is a Jokullhaup?

A Jokullhaup is a sudden melting of a large body of ice, leading to a flood, caused by the eruption of a volcano beneath a glacier.


Was there a climate change after Noah's flood?

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.


What asteroid caused the ice age?

The ice age was not caused by an asteroid impact. It was most likely due to a combination of factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, volcanic activity, and the release of greenhouse gases.

How flood caused?

Floods can be caused by conditions around us and affecting us such as torrential rain, rapid melting of ice and other geographic or atmospheric conditions that may be severely savage.

How do scientistis think earths orbit relates to an ice age?

Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
