Answer Key

  1. Briefly: The uniformitarian view is such that things originated on their own over millions of years, and that death, disease, and suffering have always been a part of history. The Biblical view states that God created a perfect world in 6 normal-length days around 6,000 years ago; that death, disease, corruption, and suffering entered the world after Adam rebelled; that the Flood of Noah’s day formed a majority of the rock layers and fossils we find today and initiated the Ice Age.
  2. The ground would have been cooler and summers much colder. The oceans would have been warmer. Snow would have fallen in the northern latitudes year-round.
  3. The Flood, which provided the right conditions to initiate the Ice Age was an one-time event.
  4. The ozone layer protects the earth from harmful ultra-violet rays.
  5. Christians are to take care of the earth and everything on it, including the atmosphere.
