‘This position of the Flood as being geographically universal meets with serious scientific difficulties. For one, how can you get enough rain to cover the entire earth?... In other words, the laws operating on the Earth today cannot be applied to the time of Noah… One of the motivations for Brown to postulate water coming from below [the Earth] is that the Bible describes the waters of the Flood as coming both from the ‘fountains of great deep’ and the ‘floodgates of Heaven’ (see Gen, 8:2) …. Clearly this is a popular, but not a scientific description.’--- Fr Paul Robinson SSPX, The Realist Guide to Religion and Science, Gracewing, 2018, pp. 274-275.

Is this priest actually questioning God’s ability to flood the Earth with water as revealed in Genesis? Is Fr Paul telling us the following is not a true history?

‘[4] I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth. And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased. [11] all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened: [12] And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. [18] For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: [19] And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains were covered. [20] The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.’--- (Genesis Ch 7 and 8)

Obviously the worldwide sediments as evidence of a geographically universal flood has gone unnoticed by Fr Robinson. Take also the vast flood deposits of silt and salt found in the Euphrates Valley in Iran, a high plateau 4000 to 5000 feet above sea level. Is that not enough scientific evidence to show the Flood had to cover all the earth? Then there are the deep-frozen mammoths, found in a great arc from Spitzbergen through Siberia to arctic Alaska. Whole bodies, young and old, found deep in the permafrost, filled with undigested vegetation, obviously drowned by a sudden flooding over the whole northern area of the Earth.

And now we have this:

Oh, I've seen presentations done by ATHEISTS showing evidence for a simultaneous worldwide flood. They tend to claim it happened around 10,000 B.C., however, but the evidence is there. It's sad when an atheist gets it right and a "Traditional Catholic" priest does not.

It's an interesting theory, but why should there be "anything" left of a meteor if they were travelling much faster than a bullet, and bullets tend to explode on impact?

Well, the question of what caused the worldwide flood remains theory, but there's evidence that it happened, that there was flooding all over the world around the same time (they claim 10,000 B.C. but I would dispute that), i.e. that it was not limited to the Mesopotamian basin as people like Father Robinson claim. Of course, the entire ark thing would have been an absurdity with such a limited flood. In the many decades it took Noah to build the ark, he could have just migrated out of the region, and there was no need to save animals, as they too could have migrated. Not to mention that it directly contradicts Sacred Scripture, which states that the flood covered all the earth and above the peaks of the highest mountains ... simply not possible with a local flood. Father Robinson would attribute error to Sacred Scripture; he's a Modernist.

This guy is fascinating and modern scientists hate him, so he's probably onto something. And he seems pretty unbiased in his search for historical fact.

Here he talks about the evidence (among all kinds of ancient cultures) for a worldwide flood, roughly 11,000 years ago (i.e. 9-10,000 BC).
