There are ancient shore lines of Lake Bonneville that prove that is was once 1,000 feet higher than it is today. There once was a Lake Laotian in Nevada that covered 8,400 square miles. The rocks of earth; from the Aleutians to Tierra de Fuego, from the Atlas Mountains to the Andes, From the Himalayas to the Alps, show massive catastrophes of the past. The rock cries out "A huge flood did this. "The White Cliffs of Pover" in England consist of solid seashells.

A skeptic named Custance claimed that at elevations above Mt. Everest would "render all but a few creatures insensible in a very few moments for lack of oxygen." He opined that Noah and his sons would have been terribly t...
