Here is a quick look into what the world was like before the flood as it was shown to me by the Creator (personally). I’ll simply list each of the layers and discuss each one in turn. This is a backstory to the creation and the Great Flood that nobody knows about.
The Atmosphere
Earth’s atmosphere before the Flood was much like ours is today, with two big exceptions: it was very calm, with mild weather everywhere on the planet; and it was more humid all over. The poles were almost as warm as the equator because the Water Layer conveyed heat to the surface. The atmosphere was very uniform in its warmth and humidity, which made the weather extremely mild compared to our weather patterns today. Placid blue skies with a few languid clouds would have been the order of the day all over.
Since temperature differences are what drive our violent weather these days, the weather back then would have been very mild and driven by only a slight variation of temperature from place to place. It was peaceful, calm, and sunny most of the time. Perfect “birthday suit” weather all around the world, night and day, regardless of season. In fact, seasons would likely not have really existed by our standards. The north and south poles may have been a bit cooler (from less direct sunlight) but still very livable. We might call them “tropical” compared to our weather now (but without a lot of rain).
The height of the upper atmosphere was probably the same as it is now. The absence of any pollution, chemicals, or radiation in the air made it very healthy and breathable for all life. Having a lot more plant life may have given them more oxygen in the air as well. It would have been very nice.
The Soil Layer
Earth used to be a green planet, not a blue planet. This is because, from pole to pole and around the world, there were no great, deep oceans like today. It was all just lush forests, jungles and other life-filled biomes of spectacular splendor with incredible biodiversity. It had no break in continuity, being one single piece of land.
The soil back then, the uppermost layer, would have been very nutritious and filled with life-giving microbes. Plants would grow to full size (a lot bigger than our plants today) in a much shorter time (or just keep on growing). Trees, for example, would have been much healthier, larger, and longer living, with better fruit than now.
There would not have been any deserts or dead areas like we have. The Sahara, Gobi, and Arabian deserts were not there. In fact none of our surficial features existed back then—not one! Our largest desert, Antarctica, was the farthest thing from their beautiful and warm surface. Yes, Antarctica is one of the driest places on Earth, making it a desert (a very cold and dry one). The northern Arctic Circle is the second largest desert. The African Sahara is only the third largest of the many desert areas on Earth, being larger than the contiguous states in the USA. The smallest desert in the world today, the Lut Desert in Iran, is about the same size as West Virginia. Not one of these biomes, or anything like them, existed in the world before the Flood. No dead zones!
There would not have been any soaring peaks or plunging canyons, either. In fact, I cannot think of any mechanism (other than the Hand of God) that would have created any variance in the topography at all. The freshwater seas would have been shallow by our standards too. I doubt that any bodies of water were deeper than, say, a thousand feet or so (no more than 200-400 meters).
I expect sand to be under the seas and a layer of perhaps sand and/or gravel to be at the bottom of it all, just above the Crust Bedrock, since it could have acted as a filter between the surficial and subterranean waters below the bedrock.
To have a decent garden today, we need to “amend” the soil with all kinds of nutrients. But the soil back then was already more nutritious than our best efforts can produce now. Imagine the gardens full of healthy vegetables, and the fruit trees, heavily laden with the biggest, most delicious and healthy fruits imaginable. It boggles the mind.
The Crust Bedrock Layer
If you’ve never heard of this layer before, you aren’t alone; even if you have a PhD in geophysics! I’ll try to briefly explain this layer to you, but it will take a minute. If you’ve heard of the Tectonic Plates, then that makes it easier to explain. That is because the Tectonic Plates used to all be in one complete sphere (whole and intact). And that sphere is what the Crust Bedrock used to be. It was a gigantic hollow rock ball that was under the Soil Layer.
I don’t know how thick it was, but it held together until it was broken by a celestial object that punched right through it, going very fast. I’ll explain more about the destruction of this layer when I talk about the Mantle in just a bit, because there is more to fill you in on before we get to that point.
It was either porous or had vents of some sort to allow water to pass through it. Water transfer was necessary between the Water Layer below and the waters on the surface. The Moon may have played a role in bringing water to the surface as it passed by, while Earth’s gravity pulled it back down again.
The Bedrock supported the Soil Layer above it. Again, it was a sphere that was hollow. Not only did it support everything above it, but it also contained everything below (inside of) it. All of the following layers that I’m going to discuss were inside this giant sphere. This support structure, being one continuous piece, gave the pre-flood world a single, unbroken land mass. I don’t say there was a single “continent” because I don’t want you to confuse it with the land masses of today on This Broken Planet (there was no Pangaea or similar land mass surrounded by water). Any hills or valleys on the surface then were NOT a result of this sphere having any variation in its surface; it would have been rather smooth compared to our topography today. Any hills and valleys on the surface would have likely been a product of the Soil Layer’s undulations (not the Bedrock’s). Also, not having any strong winds to blow the sand or dirt around would have kept the surface flatter as well.
This layer was not made up of the surficial rocks that we have now, such as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. It was a rock that was directly created by God, exactly as it was. Igneous rock is made from the cooling of lava. Sedimentary rock is made from mud that has been hardened by heat. Metamorphic rock (according to its name) is rock that has changed from one state to another. These are the rocks that make up the continents now. They were all created during or just after the Great Flood. In this post, I’m not going to get into how the continents of today were made. You can read about that in the book, This Broken Planet. But I’ll just say that since the Bedrock is covered in these other rocks, it makes it very difficult to know the composition of the original rock, especially if you are not looking for it. Plus, it’s really far down there with a lot of dirt and rock (or water) in the way.
The Unseen Water Layer
If you’ve never heard of the Bedrock Layer, then I’m quite sure that you’ve never heard of this Water Layer either—even if you earned two PhD’s in geophysics and whatever else! In fact, none of the Earth Sciences have ever talked about this layer of Earth’s early composition. But that doesn’t mean it never existed, because it did.
If you’re familiar with the Mohorovičić (Moho) discontinuity, then it will be easier to understand what and where this Water Layer was. But if not, that’s okay, I can still help you understand it. The Moho is a space between two rock layers. It lies just under the Tectonic Plates and above the Mantle. Now, in some places the Mantle is too broken to know for sure where it begins or ends, and the Tectonic Plates aren’t exactly uniform either (since they were placed in a chaotic explosion). But the Moho is where this Water Layer used to be. The Moho was a rock-lined chamber (empty space) holding the Water Layer.
When God created the World, He placed the Water Layer just under the land, which is supported by the Bedrock. So this Water Layer was initially sandwiched between the Mantle below and the Bedrock above. Both rock surfaces that contacted this layer of water were very smooth on the water side. This gave the Water Layer unimpeded flow, as it was moved and controlled by the forces of the Coriolis Effect and Angular Momentum. These forces kept the water from becoming unbalanced in its closed chamber. Due to those two forces, plus gravity, the Water Layer (and Bedrock above) did not become unbalanced at all. That is important for supporting the relatively thin Bedrock above it. And when we add in the pressure exerted upon this Water Layer, it was a perfectly firm and balanced support for the Bedrock that rode upon it. Another factor in aiding the Bedrock’s support was the evenly distributed pull of gravity upon the bedrock from within, keeping it evenly spaced from the Mantle below.
The water in this layer was fresh, not salty, like the oceans today. The salt was introduced when the Water Layer was released from its chamber under the Bedrock Layer.
But the really interesting thing about this Water Layer was its temperature. Ironically, I have no idea what the exact temperature was, but I can say with confidence that it was VERY hot—hundreds to thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. That is because the Mantle below it was even hotter. But we’ll get to that next.
Having a very hot layer of water under the Bedrock gave the surface a very warm temperature, like having radiant heating under your tile floor. In fact, it was this factor, more than the atmospheric factors, that kept the world at a very comfortable “birthday suit” temperature all year, regardless of latitude, season, or time of day or night. Like sleeping on a heated waterbed in the winter time, everyone had a nice temperature every day and night, whether at the poles or the equator.
The Mantle
Unlike now, the early Mantle was complete and whole—unbroken and new. It had a hard surface that held many interesting facets of its design. It was what we could call “irreducibly complex”.
Inside the Mantle, just under its outer shell, may have been crystalline forms that morphed into softer magma, which took up much of the interior. These forms worked to hold the heat in, without too much being conducted to the surface of the Mantle. When I think of the Mantle, I think of a megalithic geode of sorts. Inside this giant geode would have been lava, filling the empty space. Swimming in the molten Lava (called the Outer Core), is the Inner Core. But I’ve gotten ahead of myself, as these will be discussed below. For now, just know that the Mantle held the Core of the Earth and was filled with lava. Lots and lots of lava.
By the way, a geode is made as a bubble in lava. This is why I expect the interior surface of the shell to be coated in crystalline matter. And since magma is basically like thickened lava, that would be a perfect medium between the two.
When the Mantle was broken, lava came out under pressure and contacted the Water Layer. As you know, when something really hot contacts water, the water instantly turns to gas (vapor, or steam), which is expanded compared to the liquid state. That reaction can be so violent and rapid that we would call it an explosion. That explosion of the water, held in a closed container, blew the lid off the container. Unfortunately for all life on the surface, that “container” was the Bedrock Layer, holding them and the soil they lived on above the scalding hot Water Layer. The explosion wrecked the Bedrock and sent the pieces into the deep, burning waters, along with all life on Earth (except for Noah and family and the animals with them). That was what we call the Flood.
The Outer Core
The outer core was (and still is) molten lava in motion. As it swirls around the Inner Core, it creates a dynamo effect that produces the Magnetic energy surrounding the planet. Before the explosion that ruined this once perfect planet, there was nothing interfering with its motion. Now that the Mantle has been blown inward in many places, there are large pieces of the Mantle’s surface and pieces of the former Bedrock layer that are down in there—interfering with the motion of the molten lava.
Also, there is no longer the amount of lava that was there originally, since much of it came out and formed these things:
- The Asthenosphere
- The foundations of the new continents that we have today
- Islands
- Volcanoes.
The interior of the Earth, which includes the lava, is and has always been radioactive. When that radiation came out at the Flood with the lava, it caused all life forms to have much shorter lifespans.
The Inner Core
The Inner Core—the center of our planet—is probably just like it was when created. It’s about the size of Pluto, smaller than our Moon (about 70% the size), and made of solid metal (perhaps iron and nickel). It is about as hot as the surface of the Sun, making it the hottest part of Earth. The temperature is measured at about 5,200 degrees Celsius (or about 9,392 degrees Fahrenheit).
One function of the Core was to heat the interior of the Earth, so that the heat would radiate out to the other layers and keep the surface a nice temperature on the entire surface, regardless of location. This would have made the poles almost as warm as the rest of the planet. Because of this uniform, radiant heat, there were not the weather patterns on the surface that we have now (with our many temperature differences).
Conclusion
This description of the layers of our home planet is very different than what you hear when you go to school. Why is that? Well, back in the 1700s a movement was started, called the Enlightenment, that attempted to remove the heavy-handed influence of the Catholic Church upon society. But by trying to throw off the tyranny of the Church (and the Bible), they also lost their connection to God by also taking Him (and His creation) out of the story.
Sadly, the backstory we now have of the “evolution” of Earth, with its concept of “Deep Time” (the idea of billions of years of history), has become the predominant belief of most people. But it is completely wrong.
With my new model of cosmology (the beginning of Earth) and the Flood’s geology, I can show a much better backstory that actually makes sense of what we can observe in the world beneath our feet. I call it The Broken Planet Model (BPM), since it shows how the Creator broke this planet due to our sin when Noah was alive. You can read the book I wrote about it right on this website for free. I don’t even make you give out your email and I don’t ask for anything at all in exchange for reading it. The book is called, This Broken Planet [Earth’s beginning and end, and its unseen Water Layer].
In this quick post, I’ve just given you a big part of the backstory, but I haven’t really covered the processes that occurred when the planet was ruined by God. You might find it interesting how I can show a much better explanation for not only what we observe now but how it got that way. (It isn’t my story, but God’s.) No other model can tell you how we got the Tectonic Plates, for example, or exactly how the continents were actually formed (not at all what you’ve been told). You will see how the BPM account makes the most sense when compared to the other backstories offered by everyone else. It also matches the biblical account of the creation exactly. No other model (except maybe one) can say that. But that other biblical model has a couple of shortcomings of its own.
In the book I talk about:
- different worldviews
- my BPM model
- how the flood really happened (not what you’ve been told)
- why the Earth looks old
- problems with dating methods used today
- some alternative dating metrics that actually work
- how weather was completely changed
- the ice age
- and more.
It’s both scientific and biblical (something that not many books can claim).
Check it out today. It won’t hurt you to learn another way of seeing the evidence under our feet. Plus, it was brought to me by none other than God Himself in a direct vision and subsequent teaching.
Be blessed as you seek the Lord.
In Him and His love,
Gary
