Was There An Ice Age?
Yes, there is very strong evidence that the world has been through an Ice Age. It affected all the world, especially the latitudes closest to the poles. Ice and snow covered Canada, much of the Northern USA, Northern Eurasia, Greenland and Antarctica. However, creationists believe the evidence shows there was a single Ice Age, not many ice ages as evolutionists believe. The cause of the Ice Age is a mystery to evolutionists. Obviously the climate would need to be colder. But a gradual cooling of the climate would not work, because then there would be less evaporation, so less snow. How is it possible to have both a cold climate and lots of evaporation? Creationists have a plausible mechanism for the Ice Age—that it was an aftermath of Noah’s Flood. When the ‘all the fountains of the great deep’ broke up, this would have brought much hot water and lava to the earth’s surface. This in itself would have released much water vapour into the atmosphere—volcanic emissions often have large pro
