Hypothetical great flood - How does such lead to an ice age?
The biblical flood is placed by biblical scholars about 4,350 years ago.
The most recent ice age ended well over 12,000 years ago.
Please explain these two vastly separate ages.
Although there would seem to be a strong correlation of YECism and floodism, I don't think they are rigidly linked. Glenn Morton (ex-YEC) seems to be trying to support the existence of "the flood" in an old Earth time frame.
Also, please explain why you can believe in a biblical flood when the biblical flood as described in the bible has been disproved by scientific data.
Even my own humble archaeological research has disproved the flood myth, as written.
I think a better route to take, would be to simply ask how this hypothetical flood (regardless of its reality) would lead to an ice age.
