July-August 2015 – Geological formations found on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean east of Barbados raise questions for evolutionists, but give creationists new evidence for the biblical flood. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research said the size and concentration of the deposits support belief in the flood.

The nodules are too large to fit the current slow rate of development. As Hebert explained, the conditions of the flood would have brought more rapid development. Also, nodules are found only in the upper 20 inches or so of sediment on the ocean floor. Hebert said the flood would explain that.

“Toward the end of the Genesis flood, sheets of water receding off the continents would have rapidly eroded and dumped enormous amounts of sediment into the ocean basins.”
