Did a flood take place during the days of Noah? If so, was it a global event, a local event, or an event that affected the entire solar system? What should pastors, church leaders, and parents declare when they speak to the next generation of believers? Was it truly a cataclysmic event that destroyed most of life along with the Earth? How could such a cataclysmic event even occur?

This book is the first of its kind, comparing and contrasting two theories based on naturalism with two theories grounded in Christian theism, specifically regarding their ability to explain unexplained natural events in the past known as Large Igneous Provinces. The positive and negative arguments for the naturalistic theories come from actual naturalistic researchers rather than Christian theistic researchers. In contrast, both naturalistic and Christian theistic researchers present positive and negative arguments for the Christian theism theories. It explores the strengths and weaknesses of all the theories before evaluating which is the most plausible.

There are only two main options for answering the question of what created the universe, the solar system, and our home, Earth. One option is naturalism, which is the belief that only natural laws and forces exist and that we can understand them through scientific observation. This viewpoint also includes those who see a connection between theories based on naturalism and a supernatural entity, suggesting that natural processes are how a higher power creates everything we see around us. The other option is Christian Theism, which is the belief that God created the world in six literal days thousands of years ago. Many people tend to believe that naturalistic theories provide an accurate picture of reality. However, what does it mean when these theories cannot explain observations?
