Change Your Garments

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone.”

(Genesis 35:1-3) NKJV

The clothes that we wear to church shouldn’t be an expression of pride in accomplishments or an indication of status, but they probably shouldn’t be the same clothes that we wear every other day.

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.

Continued Inundation of Embayments and Synclines

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

“Continued inundation of embayments and synclines“. That’s how you describe a world-wide flood without saying the words world-wide flood. This is another phrase to add to our list of Paleodoublespeak terms.

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.

The Windows of Heaven

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

The windows of heaven are described in scripture as physical structures which may be opened or closed. This is possible because the firmament is a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space.

The Duration of Noah’s Flood

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

(Genesis 7:11) KJV

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

(Genesis 8:13-14) NKJV

We need to understand where the Iridium anomaly is found in the stratigraphic column as compared to the sequence of Noah’s flood that we can deduce from the sedimentary evidence.

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.

Which Ice Age?

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.

(Job 38:29-30) NKJV

When we refer to ice ages we usually mean the “recent” ice age that ended supposedly 10,000 years ago. In the popular science narrative (SciPop) this was the last of several retreats and advances of polar ice over the last 10,000-40,000 years.
