Would God create such a huge universe and not fill it with intelligent species? Actually, God has clearly revealed in His Word why not, and the purpose of the vastness of the cosmos.
If the rock layers found all over the earth are a result of a global flood then
they cannot also be evidence for slow deposition over millions of years. An understanding
of what the Flood was like and what it could accomplish (geologically) is a key
to understanding the age of the Earth.
The Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model is discussed as a mechanism operating
during the Flood to explain many large scale geologic features observed today. This
discussion continues in part 2, Episode
