Because the book, The Genesis Flood, by Whitcomb and Morris has been such an outstandingly controversial call for Biblically-based historical science, criticism against it since its publication in 1961 is of direct interest to believers in the Flood as "an historic event world wide in its extent and effect." Study of its main points and logical development versus negative criticism reveals that it remains unscathed by eight years of controversy. The Christian camp is more clearly divided than before in the face of the realization that only two options are left: Altering present geology or totally removing the Bible from history.
