Ted's voice had risen several octaves and with his heart condition neither this vitriolic angered outburst or this manual exertion were good for him.
"Simmer down Ted. I believe in the efficacy of the Bible, as it relates to all things the same as you do."
Ted did calm down with a depleted sigh, "Oh I know you do Caleb. I just get carried away sometimes. The older I get the more I see how the self evident truths of the Creator, as manifested in His creation, have been distorted and twisted into a lie, I well, I just get mad!"
"Well at your age you can't afford to get mad, but I know what you mean. Now before all the righteous explosions you were going to tell me something about the Ice Age."
"Oh right! Well for starters it really did happen, only it occurred a lot faster and ended a lot shorter than evolutionists maintain. It was a violent and often precarious time to have lived in, as I believe that this woman did."
"When did it happen?" I asked.
The Ice Age had always been one of those things, as a Christian that I had never delved into knowing more about, because I had always regarded it as somewhat of a made-up event by people with an evolution-based mindset.
"All right, by studying the Bible's timeline we can arrive at the probable time of man's existence upon the Earth. If you go down through the generations listed from Adam to the present you get a time span of roughly 6000 years, give or take a few. The Genesis global flood occurred in approximately 2350 BC. Now there are different theories as to what caused the Ice Age among creation scientists, but the one I think has the most credence is this. During the flood the fountains of the deep were broken up. Now, beyond possible extra sources of water being released, a lot of magma probably was to. Now with all of that emission of magma into the sea water on a global scale it would've caused the temperature of the ocean to rise significantly. Now the hotter water gets the more easily it evaporates into the atmosphere from the action of the sun's heat upon it. So not only did massive amounts of water get shot into the atmosphere, as steam from underwater magma outbursts, but it also evaporated at a much higher rate from the warm seas upon the Earth. All of this extra moisture created a massive amount of precipitation on dry land. As the ocean cooled through the process of evaporation so did the world. So much water was taken out of the ocean and tied up in glaciers and ice packs at the polls that there was land exposed everywhere that there is not today. It was dry land between Great Britain and Europe, which was called Doggerland. Fishermen are still dredging up stone tools from that time period in the English Channel. The Black Sea in Russia was inhabited by people and most notably in our case there was a wide land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska known as Beringia. Most notable about the Ice Age is that its occurrence coincides perfectly with God's dispersion of the people at Babel, who were building a tower to reach heaven and were instilling singularity of thought against God among all living upon the Earth. God pledged at that time to personally drive man throughout all of the face of the Earth and the Ice Age was the perfect mechanism to do so. Because of the abrupt and often severe weather pattern changes it was safer to roam about living off the land than to stay in one spot dependant on crops that might not mature. The land bridges and the shorter distances between landmasses by water also helped fulfill God's promise to disperse man throughout all the world. The Ice Age abruptly ended, as it had started, around the time of Abraham as we can see that once again the children of men had begun to build cities, such as Ur, which means that once again the seasons were favorable enough to raise crops and harvest them. The actual physical data supports this biblical timeframe of intense change instead of the eons of time stipulated by evolutionists."
