Foundations of Creation: Volume 20

How did kangaroos reach Australia, polar bears reach the Arctic, and people reach every continent on Earth — all starting from a single mountain in the ancient Near East after a global flood? In this adventurous volume of Foundations of Creation, young readers discover that the biblical model of post-Flood dispersal is not only plausible but powerfully supported by biogeography, genetics, linguistics, and cultural history. The post-Flood Ice Age lowered sea levels dramatically, opening land bridges across which animals and people could travel; ocean rafting on mats of vegetation — a phenomenon still observed today — accounts for island populations. The rapid diversification of created “kinds” is explored through Darwin’s finches, Australia’s marsupials, and the remarkable variety within the dog, cat, and bear families — all of which represent variation within a kind, not the evolution of one kind into another. A major chapter on language examines the Tower of Babel as the historical origin of the world’s language families, showing why language could never have evolved by accident and how the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 aligns with real-world ethnology with remarkable accuracy. Cultural memories of creation, the Fall, and the Flood, found in civilizations on every continent, are shown to reflect a shared history rooted in the events of Genesis. One world. One Flood. One family. One explanation.
