“The Lord sat as King at the flood;” (Psalms 29:10)
What if the story of Noah’s Flood wasn’t just a myth? Dr. Ron Neller, a respected fluvial geomorphologist who spent decades studying how water shapes the earth, shares the stunning evidence that led him to believe a global flood—just like the Bible describes—actually happened.
- In this jaw-dropping interview, you’ll discover:
- What flood-shaped landscapes really reveal
- Why mainstream science often overlooks global flood evidence
- How a career in geology turned a skeptic into a believer
Whether you’re a doubter, seeker, or believer, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

Was shoveling out a canal and had to take a video of this excellent example of bed load/saltation as an illustration of how river deltas work.
Shoveling was a huge pain with how quickly this mini delta was erasing my progress, but it was interesting regardless.

Started my digital garden in Obsidian today, worked on topics in the field of geomorphology. Can´t wait to see my garden grow as i keep learning and improving myself and my knowledge

A new ocean is slowly forming in Africa due to a 35-mile crack that appeared in Ethiopia in 2005. This crack is caused by three tectonic plates—the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian plates—gradually pulling apart. Scientists estimate it will take 5 to 10 million years for the ocean to fully form.
The Afar region, where the plates meet, is a unique place to study tectonic processes. Some researchers believe the rift is driven by a massive plume of superheated rock rising from the Earth’s mantle beneath East Africa. The plates are moving at different speeds, with the Arabian plate drifting away from Africa at about 1 inch per year and the African plates separating even slower, between 0.2 to 0.5 inches annually.
Eventually, this process will create a new mid-ocean ridge system, paving the way for a new ocean to emerge in Africa.

Geomorphology is the study of the form of the earth. Coastal geomorphologists study the way that the coastal zone, one of the most dynamic and changeable parts of the earth, evolves, including its profile, plan-form, and the architecture of foreshore, backshore, and nearshore rock and sediment bodies. To understand these it is necessary to examine wave processes and current action, but it may also involve drainage basins that feed to the coast, and the shallow continental shelves which modify oceanographic processes before they impinge upon the shore. Morphodynamics, study of the mutual co-adjustment of form and process, leads to development of conceptual, physical, mathematical, and simulation models, which may help explain the changes that are experienced on the coast.
