(along with the rest of their Religious Right companions) represent, in their
attempts to re-mold American society in accordance with their own narrow

(Alan Feuerbacher) "In this essay I will examine evidence, especially
geological, that the Watchtower Society uses to prove the Flood was a
historical event, as well as information the Society has not covered. After
researching this material, I was forced to conclude there is little geological
evidence the Flood occurred. If it occurred, it left few traces, except
possibly in legends and certainly in the Bible."

with a Global Flood,
Second Edition (Mark Isaak, November 16-1998) "Creationist models are often criticized for being too
vague to have any predictive value. A literal interpretation of the Flood story
in Genesis, however, does imply certain physical consequences which can be
tested against what we actually observe, and the implications of such an
interpretation are investigated below."
