MOTHER  EARTH Contrary to popular opinion, the earth was given its original form a little over 6,000 years ago, approximately 4115 BC.  At this time it was given both its sun and its moon to regulate its days and its seasons.  About 1,656 years after the earth was formed, it was suddenly covered by a global deluge of water; the Great Flood of approximately 2460 BC.  This catastrophic event, a mere 5000 years ago, moved existing mountains out of their places and forged entirely new mountain ranges.  It formed seas, lakes and rivers, carved canyons and vast deserts, and brought about notable changes in climatic conditions, which altogether have given us the geophysical earth, including a most revealing fossil record, as we know it today... False science has the majority of the world in the dark on this subject. To learn more in detail the true facts and events in time which shaped our present earth, please visit both the Lake Trail and the Trail of Time at this website. Also, an excellent source on compelling evidence for creation and the Flood is the book, In The Beginning, by Walt Brown, Ph.D. Click on the compass to return to the Discovery Trail Home Page
