Noah’s Flood: a Unique, Historical, Yearlong, Global Catastrophe
| Answers in Genesis Did the flood really happen? Or is it a myth? Was it global? Or was it a local flood in the Mesopotamian Valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (modern-day Iraq) and just described in exaggerated language (hyperbole)? Was it a peaceful flood? And does it matter anyway?
Floating Log Rafts
| Answers in Genesis The biogeographic importance of log and vegetation mats is slowly gaining popularity, even in the mainstream scientific community. It is encouraging to see that creationist models are now being posited in mainstream scientific papers as legitimate and better explanatory concepts than previous evolutionary models.

Where Did All the Floodwater Go?
| Answers in Genesis Where is all that water [from the Flood] now? The short answer to this Facebook question is that our planet is called the “Blue Planet” for a reason! It’s covered in 70% water, so the water from the Flood is still here, making up our oceans!
Did Meteors Trigger Noah’s Flood?
| Answers in Genesis Have you ever wondered what triggered the Genesis Flood? Genesis 7:11 tells us that a unique geologic event took place at the same moment as the Flood began. Geologists are uncovering evidence that meteors struck the earth throughout the Flood. Could they even have played a role in starting the Flood?

Between concerns about global warming, oil shortages, and increasing gasoline prices, what can the general public do? Where can we find an alternative energy source?
Gender-Fluid Tomato: You Read That Right
| Answers in Genesis I never thought gender-fluid tomatoes—from Australia no less—would be one of them. But that’s where our culture has ended up—having a discussion about how a strange plant, a species of bush tomato from the Outback, somehow shows that the “sexual binary” is “a fallacy.”
Should Christians “Love a Tree”?
| Answers in Genesis Surely God himself “loves” trees, for his creation displays a vast array of thousands of species—tall, short, winding, flexible, strong—each a testament to the Creator. So is it good to celebrate “Love a Tree Day”? The answer stems from your worldview.
Is Plant Polyploidy a Viable Mechanism for Evolution?
| Answers in Genesis This and the next paper from this author will discuss whether polyploidy is deleterious, give examples of polyploid organisms, and attempt to explain polyploidy in a biblical creation paradigm, while assessing whether it is a viable mechanism for evolution.
