AIG comment on the Ice Age

From AIG this week:

Q: Do creationists believe in an ice age?

A: We certainly do. But we don’t believe in ice ages over millions of years. The Ice Age was actually a consequence of Noah’s Flood.

The Bible tells us that, at the time of the Flood, “fountains of the great deep” broke open all over the earth (Genesis 7:11). This probably means there was volcanic action. The floodwaters would have been warmed by these volcanic explosions. This would cause warm oceans and cool land near the end of the Flood, resulting in a lot of evaporation.

Because of all this water in the atmosphere, there would have been great storms at the poles. A lot of ice and snow would have formed. Over a period of hundreds of years after the Flood, we believe that this ice accumulated and caused what we now know as the Ice Age. Then, as the temperatures of the land and oceans started to stabilize, the ice would have started to melt and recede to where it is today.

The Ice Age was actually a result of the Flood of Noah’s day!

So there you have it. So simple. So neat. So much at variance with the data of science.
