For over a century, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, built on uniformitarianism, has shaped modern science and education. This idea, that life and Earth’s processes evolved gradually over millions of years, directly contradicts both the Bible and the collective memory of civilizations around the world. From the global flood of Noah in Genesis to flood myths preserved by cultures on every continent, overwhelming evidence supports a history of catastrophic, Earth-shaping events. These global traditions, combined with discoveries from scientists like Randall Carlson and thinkers like Timothy Alberino, expose Darwin’s gradualist framework as fundamentally flawed.
The Bible’s account of the flood in Genesis 6-9 describes a global event that reshaped the Earth, destroyed corrupted humanity, and preserved only Noah, his family, and selected animals. Far from being a local or symbolic story, the biblical flood aligns with evidence of massive flooding found in geological records—sedimentary layers, fossil graveyards, and megaflood features like those seen in the scablands of North America. What’s remarkable is that nearly every culture around the world also preserves a memory of this catastrophic event, describing a deluge that wiped out civilizations and forced a restart of humanity.
Global flood traditions, often dismissed as myths, instead serve as collective memories of a real historical event. The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest written texts, describes a flood remarkably similar to Noah’s. In Mesoamerica, the Aztecs told of a flood that destroyed the world, leaving only a few survivors. Indigenous Australian legends speak of a time when the world was covered by water, and the Chinese story of Nuwa details the repair of a flood-ravaged world. Cultures from Polynesia to Africa to Scandinavia all have stories of global flooding. These accounts, separated by geography and language, reveal a shared human memory of a catastrophic flood that transformed the planet—a memory consistent with the Bible, not Darwin’s slow and steady evolutionary processes.
The Younger Dryas event, a sudden and dramatic cooling period around 12,900 years ago, supports the reality of these flood stories. Scientists like Randall Carlson point to evidence of massive glacial melting and flooding, possibly caused by a comet impact or solar event, that wreaked havoc across the globe. These megafloods reshaped landscapes, buried ecosystems, and likely inspired the flood accounts preserved by ancient civilizations. Timothy Alberino argues that such events were not mere natural disasters but divinely orchestrated judgments, aligning with the Bible’s portrayal of God intervening in human history through cataclysmic events.
For generations, secular governments and academic institutions have promoted Darwin’s theory as the only acceptable explanation for Earth’s history, dismissing the Bible and global flood accounts as myths. However, the evidence points in a different direction. The universal memory of a global flood, the geological record of catastrophic events, and the sudden shifts seen in history and nature expose Darwin’s gradualist framework as inadequate. The true history of Earth is one of dramatic interventions—floods, upheavals, and divine judgments—shaping life and the planet in ways Darwin could never explain. It’s time to reject the false narrative of uniformitarianism and recognize the Bible and humanity’s collective memory as the foundation of truth.
