What do Jehovahs witness believe about the ice age?

Answer 1

Most of the evidence for a so-called "ice age" was produced by the flood of Noah's day. However, scientists are so intent on sidproving the flood they refuse to attribute the evidence to where it is due. A. M. Rehwinkel gives an example in his book The Flood: "Large masses of granite and hard metamorphic rock, for example, which can be traced to Scandinavia, are scattered over the plains of Denmark and northern Germany. Some of these blocks are of an immense size, weighing thousands of tons. The same phenomenon is found here in America in the New England States and in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, in eastern and western Canada, and elsewhere. . . . In many cases the distance over which they have been transported is very great, and sometimes they are found at an elevation apparently much higher than their source."

Some have theorized that these huge masses of stone were carried to their present locations on top of glaciers during an ice age. "However, these boulders are also found in warmer climates far from any signs of glaciation. For example, in Southern California," notes the book Target: Earth. Too, glaciers cannot account for many of these "erratic" rock masses resting on ground higher, sometimes thousands of feet higher, than their apparent original location. "And there is still another problem connected with the erratics for which the glacial theory has no satisfactory answer," observes Rehwinkel: "And that is the question of the mixture of rocks in one locality brought there from sources lying in opposite directions. This phenomenon has been observed in several places of the earth. One of them is in Saxony, where rocks are found lying together of which some had their source in Scandinavia in the north, while others were carried there from some source in the south. . . . Moving ice cannot accumulate boulders from opposite directions and deposit them together at one place." (AWAKE! - June 8, 1975, page 7)
