Is there evidence that there was once a flood which covered the entire earth? If this were the case you would think the result would be obvious, and creationists say it is!

Global flood evidences include:

• The earth's features (such as mountains, canyons, regional stratigraphy (large-scale single rock beds), soft bending of rock strata, etc.) require some type of catastrophic explanation.
• Sedimentary rock formations (formed through water deposition) cover substantial portions of North America and other continents.
• There is no evidence that coal, oil, or ore deposits are being formed today, yet massive deposits are found in the earth.
• Likewise, the earth contains many great fossil beds, none of which appear to be forming today either. Fossils require rapid burial to be preserved.
• Ocean fossils are found at high altitudes on all five continents.
• Exceptions in the geologic column indicate that it was not formed in a gradual manner, such as the appearance of single trees that extend vertically through multiple "ages".
