Diluvium Theory.....Another False Doctrine

 .....mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Romans 16:17

"One of the earliest accommodationist theories was William Buckland’s diluvium” theory. He and several of his contemporaries
taught that much of the Pleistocene layer, then often called the “
diluvium” or the “drift,” was deposited during the Genesis Flood
--But these men also taught that the lower strata were formed hundreds of thousands of years before Adam was created, which deviates from the Biblical doctrine that God created the plants and animals in one week just a few thousand years ago.
After he was shown that the “diluvium” was primarily the work of glaciers, glacial till, not floodwaters, Buckland abandoned his diluvium theory in favor of the “tranquil theory,” which held that Noah’s Flood left no residue." DavidRead/Fulcrum7
