Michael J. Oard (Meteorologist) received his Masters of Science degree in Atmospheric Science from the University of Washington. He has recently retired from the (US) National Weather Service where he worked as a meteorologist/weather forecaster, and now dedicates much of his time to creation science research. Since 2001 he has served on the board of directors of the Creation Research Society.
Mike is a prolific author who has published numerous books and papers and in his field in widely recognized journals. He also travels all over the country for regular speaking engagements at creationist conferences and meetings.

The
evidence for the global Genesis Flood is provided by all the hundreds of
flood traditions from all over the world. Evidence for the Flood is
found in sedimentary rocks that commonly cover huge distances and show
little or no erosion between layers—unlike how mainstream geologist
interpret the rocks based on small events over millions of years.
Trillions of fossils in the sedimentary rocks provide powerful evidence
for a global Flood, since fossilization today is rare (remember that
mainstream scientists rely on present processes to explain the past).
Moreover, the fossil record does not show evolution because of the gaps
in the fossil record. Mollusks that make up 95% of fossils are
predominantly closed shelled, strongly indicating that they were buried
and fossilized rapidly all over the earth. This points to a global
catastrophe and not small events over millions of years, the alternative
mainstream view. Lastly, the talk delves into what we learned about the
Flood from the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
