Genesis tells us that God destroyed all land and its inhabitants in judgment of sin within 1700 years of creation and Jesus affirms this in both the accounts of Luke and Mathew, yet modern academia (including many Christian schools) deny a global flood during the human experience.

Have geologists been wrong about something this big in the recent past? Could the concept of geologic time be a runaway legend from the 20th century?
