The Collapse of the Atmospheric Shield: Key to the Flood and the Younger Dryas (1 reply)

Before the Flood: A World Protected by the Waters Above

The pre-Flood Earth was enveloped by a canopy of water vapor and gas, forming a protective atmospheric shield around the planet:

- Natural filtering of cosmic ionizing radiation

- Global thermal stabilization

- Suppression of carbon-14 production, explaining post-cataclysmic dating distortions

- Extended biological longevity due to reduced mutation

- Support for giant and uniform plant growth
This canopy was the cornerstone of the original climatic and biological equilibrium.

The Flood: Simultaneous Collapse from Above and Below

Genesis 7:11: “the windows of the heavens were opened” AND “the fountains of the great deep burst forth.”

The Flood was the result of a coordinated double rupture:

- From above: the sudden precipitation of the atmospheric water canopy as continuous torrential rain
- From below: the pressurized release of deep mantle water (via ringwoodite), opening massive crustal fissures

This combined hydric pressure — from surface and depth — triggered:

- Global crustal fracturing

- Uplift and subsidence of tectonic plates

- Planetary-scale submersion

- Compaction, vitrification, and mineralization of surface soils


The Younger Dryas: A Post-Cataclysmic Illusion

What science calls the “Younger Dryas” (classically dated ~12,900 to 11,700 years ago) was in reality the planet’s recovery phase following the Flood, marked by:

- A rapid cooling caused by massive evaporation and atmospheric particulates

- A sharp decline in species longevity

- A sudden restructuring of global climates and ecosystems

- The rise of early post-Flood civilizations: Sumerians, Egyptians, Indo-Europeans

The surge in atmospheric carbon-14 due to recent cosmic exposure gives the false impression of extreme antiquity.
The Younger Dryas is therefore a planetary healing period, actually dated to around 2300–2000 BCE.

Conclusion

The Flood theory, through the simultaneous collapse of both the water canopy and the Earth’s crust, provides a coherent, physical, and logical explanation for the events preserved in geological and historical records.

The pre-Flood world was shielded. Ours is exposed.

The Younger Dryas was not an ice age — it was the climate crisis after the Flood.
