In this book, William Denton examines the biblical account of the Deluge, or Great Flood, in the light of modern science. He begins by discussing the various theories that have been proposed to explain the Flood, including the idea that it was a global event, a local event, or a combination of both. He then examines the geological evidence for the Flood, including the presence of marine fossils in high places, the presence of sedimentary rocks, and the presence of large amounts of water in the atmosphere. He also looks at the archaeological evidence for the Flood, including the discovery of ancient cities and artifacts that suggest a great flood occurred. Finally, he discusses the implications of the Flood for the Bible and its teachings, and how it can be reconciled with modern science.
