"Megaflood Created Great Divide Between Britain and France"

The scientists interviewed in title-linked article are getting closer to the truth. The article by Dan Mosher, a staff writer for livescience.com, begins, "The cultural rift between Britain and France endures as an amusing mystery for many, but the physical divide between them can now be blamed on two ancient floods."

First of all, how could a mystery be amusing? Mysteries make us think, not the opposite. But secondly, blaming the English Channel on two ancient floods is right on the mark - according to the Bible. You may be wondering what I mean, since the Bible details only one worldwide megaflood. The reality is that, like the Grand Canyon's formation, the flood set up the topographical conditions and its aftermath put things in place nearly if not identically as we see them today. The aftemath of THE FLOOD (the one and only, as the Bible reveals), contained smaller scale floods (though still relatively large compared to floods of our day), as the waters ran down mountains, which were raised up during the cataclysm, formed holding ponds (or large lakes), and broke through natural dams. The smaller scale floods were the means by which the earth arrived at its present end.

The article errs in its time scale by 100 fold. Suggesting this massive flood occurred 450,000 years ago misses the Biblical mark of 4500 years ago. One scientist, Sanjeev Gupta, said, "Britain has been an island for only a very short time period, and we've put together the first clear evidence that the valley system in the English Channel was carved by a megaflood." This is not the first clear evidence. Indeed theologians and science-focused Christian ministries such as Answers in Genesis have known the truth of this scientist's statement for much of their lives. The people who believed Moses' account of the Noahic flood when he wrote in 1500 BC have known this truth for thousands of years. The Word of God is the only evidence we need.

Gupta went on, "Some freak event, whatever it was, caused the dam to fail at some point." The article declares that the English Channel was carved to its present width and depth in a matter of weeks, during a time when much of the ocean water was locked up in ice sheets. This is so true - and perfectly consistent with the Bible's account. The post-FLOOD flood which carved the Grand Canyon in a matter of weeks by breaking through the Kaibab Upwarp was similar to this post-FLOOD flood which carved the English Channel in a number of weeks by breaking through a chalky dam near the Dover Strait.

Gupta noted some similar circumstances that occurred in Washington state, here in America. The Creation Museum in northern Kentucky shows evidence of the canyon carved in post-Mt. St. Helen's eruption events as being parallel as well.
