This is Ken Ham, on a mission to call the church back to God’s Word and the gospel.
There was only one ice age, and it came after the global flood. As the fountains of the great deep burst open, underwater volcanoes warmed the oceans from pole to pole. Then those warmer oceans cause lots of evaporation.
And that evaporation came back down as snow—why? Well, that volcanic activity would’ve filled the atmosphere with ash and small particles, reflecting sunlight back into space, cooling the Earth. Warm oceans and cool air results in lots of snowfall but it doesn’t melt during the cool summers. Soon, ice sheets would build up around the world. It’s the Bible’s history that explains the ice age!
