Catastrophe changes the was you see the world. Not just in the moment of it's impact, or the devastation left behind. But it changes the very metrics by which future generations would deduce what happened, and when. This is the story of the global flood. It changed the topography of the earth and created a worldwide graveyard of fossils, which we now try to interpret with our 19th through 21st century uniformitarianism. This gives skeptics a target to take aim at God's word, and ultimately the Gospel that saves.
