4.1.11. Mountain tops visible in 74 days (Gen 8.5).
4.1.12. Raven released 40 days later (Gen 8.6-7).
4.1.13. Dove released 7 days later (implied) (Gen 8.10).
4.1.14. Second dove released 7 days later; olive leaf (Gen
8.10).
4.1.15. Third dove released 7 days later; did not return
(Gen 8.12).
4.1.16. Ground dry 29 days later (Gen 8.13).
4.1.17. Noah commanded to leave 57 days later (Gen 8.14-
19).
4.1.18. A total of 371 days on the ark.
4.1.19. Promise of weather and seasons (Gen 8.22).
4.1.20. Cloud and rainbow given as covenant of no more
floods (Gen 9.8-17).
4.2. Geologic method: multiple working hypotheses. Any facts
will support or refute certain hypotheses.
4.3. A correlation of Major Geologic features and Noah's
flood, a working hypothesis.
4.3.1. All those animals and food? Yes, the ark had 3
decks with a total capacity of over 520 rail road
box cars.
4.3.2. Sources of water.
4.3.2.1. Fountains of the deep could refer to
volcanic vents.
4.3.2.2. Floodgates of heaven; a water vapor canopy
would flood from the sky with increased
volcanic activity.
4.3.2.3. A decrease in atmospheric pressure
and temperature at the same time would
cause great rain storms.
4.3.3. Plate tectonics initiated at this time. The one
way trip of plates across the mantle of the
earth began at a time of massive extinction of
animals and great geologic change. Modern
tectonic (motion of earth) events are a
residual of the motion initiated during the flood.
4.3.4. Non-volcanic mountains must form rapidly if
they are to have their current structure
(today's tall mountains have formed since the
flood).
4.3.5. Unique and enormous flood basalts were
deposited under water (pillows, lake beds,
petrified wood, soil).
4.3.6. Erosional features indicate rivers larger than any
on earth today (Spokane).
4.3.7. Sedimentary rocks were deposited in
situations not known to the earth today (sheets of
sandstone, massive fossil beds, coal, Palouse
hills).
4.3.8. Pol
