Climatic Cooling

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.

(Genesis 8:1) KJV

We’ve made the case that after Noah’s flood the wind which caused the waters to abate produced a cooling effect which cause polar and equatorial glaciation. Evidence of equatorial glaciation is assigned to the Permian.

Heavy Rainfall

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

(Genesis 7:17) NKJV

Heavy rainfall“. How about that? 40 days and nights to be exact. Some things are so obvious that they can’t be disguised as anything else. Usually Paleodoublespeak is used, this time there’s no reason to.

Trend From Temperate Climates to Subtropical

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

(Genesis 7:11) ESV

Trend from temperate climate to subtropical“. That sounds suspiciously like a way to say that it started raining a lot. “Some seasonal variations“. No kidding. It started raining, then it stopped raining.

Climate Tending to be Uniform

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

(Genesis 7:19-20) NKJV

Climate tending to be uniform, temperate because of extensive inundation of continents“. Our period description opens up with a climate statement which lets us know that this was part of a world-wide flood.

Uniform, Mild Climates

He produced manuals on botany, describing every kind of plant, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on walls. He also produced manuals on biology, describing animals, birds, insects, and fish.

(1 Kings 4:33) NET Bible

The Triassic marks a return to the format which we saw repeatedly for the periods of the Paleozoic era. We know that these sediments were deposited during the deluge phase of Noah’s flood because of the climate statement.

Global Warming

For a fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the lowest hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

(Deuteronomy 32:22) NKJV

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.

(Genesis 8:1) KJV

As the waters abated after Noah’s flood there was significant global cooling which caused equatorial and polar glaciation. There were temperate zones in the Northern and Southern hemisphere.

Cooler and Drier Climates

My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away, Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes. When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

(Job 6:15-16) NKJV

The paleoenvironments of Periods of the geological timescale are dependent on warm climates, humidity and increased precipitation when they represent the erosion, transportation and deposition of sediment.

Mild Climates

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Matthew 7:25) KJV

Descriptions of geological periods usually start with a statement on climate. It’s a subtle way to pay homage to the fact that a vast amount of water moved a vast amount of sediment.
