People who dismiss the idea of a great flood need to rethink their view. There is plenty of scientific evidence that half (1/2) of the earth was covered in ice about 650 million years ago. Since then the ice has been melting to the point where we have only the Antarctic remaining.
Still,
50%+/- of the earth was covered in ice some 650 million years ago------
A study by NASA and university researchers, published in the June 14, 2013 issue of
Science, found however that
ocean waters melting the undersides of Antarctic ice shelves are responsible for most of the continent's ice shelf mass loss.

The
Snowball Earth hypothesis proposes that during one or more of Earth's
icehouse climates,
Earth's surface became entirely or nearly entirely frozen at least once, sometime earlier than 650
Mya(million years ago). Proponents of the hypothesis argue that it best explains
sedimentary deposits generally regarded as of
glacial origin at
tropicalpalaeolatitudes and other enigmatic features in the
geological record. Opponents of the hypothesis contest the implications of the
geological evidence for global glaciation and the
geophysical feasibility of an
ice- or
slush-covered ocean

"Snowball Earth" Confirmed: Ice Covered EquatorEarth's now steamy Equator was covered with ice 716 million years ago, according to a new study.
Strange fossil may be rare insect preserved in gemstone.
The finding appears to add solid evidence to the theory of an ancient
"snowball Earth."
"Snowball Earth" Confirmed: Ice Covered Equator
In the beginning, planet Earth was a very inhospitable place with no oxygen and only single-celled bacteria as inhabitants. According to a new study, the oxygen content in the air began to increase about 2.4 billion years ago
, at the same time as the global glaciation and when all continents were gathered in a single huge landmass, or supercontinent. How to explain the exact connection between these events, however, is a question that baffles the researchers.
Oxygen content increased when Earth was covered in ice
A Brief History of Ice Ages and Warming
Global warming started long before the "Industrial Revolution" and the invention of the internal combustion engine.
Global warming began 18,000 years ago as the earth started warming its way out of the Pleistocene Ice Age-- a time when much of North America, Europe, and Asia lay buried beneath great sheets of glacial ice.
Global Warming:A Chilling Perspective
As the ice sheet melted the runoff looked like a flood, so they called it a “GREAT FLOOD”
There is ample proof of a great flood and now it is time to flip the argument. It is time for the doubters to prove there wasn’t a flood.
Deniers, it’s your turn; go for it !!!!
