The Rocks Don't Lie · A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood · A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood

In Tibet, geologist David R.

Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking

similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the

world’s flood stories and—drawing from historic works by theologians, natural

philosophers, and scientists—discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood

played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the

grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding

principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries

later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a

global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a

refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a

journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive

nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and

how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
