Overview
In Tibet, geologist David R.
Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking
similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the
world’s flood stories and—drawing from historic works by theologians, natural
philosophers, and scientists—discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood
played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the
grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding
principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries
later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a
global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a
refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a
journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive
nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and
how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
