## Resource

Come with us on a tour of the natural world, and let's see what we can learn about the Earth's origins from the things we observe all around us in the present. In this classic broadcast, we will hear Dr. John Whitcomb saying that God will lead us, giving us this premise: "The key to the origin of the world is Biblical catastrophism." We will find that the current state of the world is the result of the flood—not millions of years of evolutionary geology. Following the message, host Wayne Shepherd asked Dr. Whitcomb to explain the significant changes that the Genesis Flood brought to planet Earth. Whitcomb Ministries truly desires that you will "Encounter God's Truth" today, because God's Word is true from the beginning to the end!
