Free Flood By Design (Design Series) Ebooks Online
There are features on the earth's surface that science cannot explain with theories of changes over millions or even billions of years by the geologic processes that we see occurring commonly today. However, when you explore the evidence from a biblical worldview, the geologic features marking the planet's surface make sense given the worldwide catastrophic flood described in the book of Genesis. Join author Mike Oard as he explores what is termed as “the retreating stage of the flood” - the seven month-period when the waters receded and the landscapes which are familiar to us were formed by a myriad of processes like uplifts and sinking, erosion, and more, which answer important questions regarding: Unusual dispersals of rocks over hundreds of miles How quickly mountains and valleys were carved Emergence of continents and the formation of ocean basins Percussions marks shaped by vast and violently moving water Why very gradual erosion and deposits of soil cannot explain surface formations The study of geomorphology and what it can reveal Flood by Design takes you into a fascinating aspect of the Genesis flood you may never have considered. Examine unusual rock formations and evidence that only the biblical flood model can fully explain. Filled with many photographs and easy-to-understand illustrations and charts, the book is a powerful source of research and answers for high school students and beyond.

This book is written similar to a science textbook.1) It explains geological formations.2) It has black and white pictures of geological formations.3) It has questions at the end of each chapter that reviews the material and terms learned in the chapter.This book is written to convince the reader that there are geological formations and a scientific foundation for a worldwide flood.
Michael Oard is one of the most industrious geologists of his kind, and as he admits in the preface to this book, technical monologues well over twice as long as this one are much more his style. As such, his writing here feels a bit stilted, as though he's trying too hard to not lose the lay reader as he gives a broad overview to the study of geomorphology.He needn't try so hard - the descriptions of landforms and erosional features detailed here may veer towards the technical at times, but the core premises of the book are easily understood by any sharp reader. The global extent of these formations, and the conspicuous lack of accounting present-day process - facts that even uniformitarian geologists will reluctantly admit - are truly eye-opening, and even fair minded folk who oppose Oard's view should come away with a better understanding of what "flood geology" is all about.
The author skillfully explains why the surface of the Earth is a living laboratory of evidence for a global flood event, and how current mainstream theories cannot explain the very same geography. Obviously, the author is a Christian, but I would have preferred he leave out the "preachy" parts of his narrative. As a fellow Christian, I agree with his sentiments. However, I think if the goal of the book is to present a scientifically rigorous argument, then these moments could serve only to turn off the reader's objective consideration if they aren't a Christian.Aside from this, and a few times where the explanations become a bit muddied, the book is wonderful. I highly recommend it to both Christians and non-Christians alike.
excellently written, the theory's presented in this book are much more than just ideas. Each chapter deals with amazing events that could have shaped our world's surface topography, and presented in clear, easy to understand language. The uniformatarian theory's are far from satisfying my mind, this creationist point of view actually makes perfect sense when looked at with an open mind.
Great book explaining evidences for a young-earth, and global flood during Noah's day. Yes, "Flood by design". God is the designer of the geological rocks!
looking for teaching on the Flood for my Great Nephew - we find Michael Oard and interesting Author that seeks after truth - worth the read and the money
I read it straight through. It was insightful and proved that only the worldwide Biblical flood could have given us the terrain we have today.
