The Ice Age

Q

What are your thoughts pertaining to the ice age? When and how did it happen? They have supposedly found mammoths and other animals frozen solid with food in their mouths. I have read and heard this probably happened at the onset of the world wide flood.

A

I’m more inclined to believe it happened after the Great Flood. Increased evaporation due to the expanded water surface would have created more consistent cloud cover, causing temperatures to decline. This would have resulted in greater precipitation which the cooling temperatures would have converted to snow and ice. It would have taken a number of years for this to happen, but once it began it could have become more intense relatively quickly.
