How Could Fish Survive Noah's Flood? by John D. Morris, Ph.D. As
a creationist geologist, I enjoy speculating about Noah's Flood
and its geologic results. If such a flood took place, it would
have laid down multiple layers of mud full of the remains of
plants and animals which died in the Flood. These layers would
be widespread (since the Flood was global) and give evidence of
having been laid down rapidly. While we can't be certain of the
exact nature of the Flood, it certainly involved tsunamis
(sometimes called tidal waves)—incredibly energetic shock waves
in the ocean, traveling at the speed of sound, which pummeled
the land with towering walls of water. Likewise, it involved
underwater mudflows, which even today are known to flow at up to
100 miles per hour, following an underwater earthquake or other
disturbance. Volcanism, tectonism, erosion, redeposition, etc.,
occurred at rates, scales, and intensities far beyond similar
processes occurring today. The Flood was not only an episode of
judgment, it was
