The Creation Science Ice Age Model
The secular science industry tells us that there have been several ice ages, each lasting millions of years. Evidence exists for what they call the last ice age, but cannot explain how it started or ended. Biblical creationists believe there was only one Ice Age.
Remember that secularist have an a priori commitment to deep time. The astronomical (Milankovitch) theory comports with their assumptions, but it is fundamentally flawed. Climate is very complex, and scares of climate change use incomplete information at best. Creationists have a strong model for the climate change of the Ice Age.

Since 1837, when Louis Agassiz (1801–1873) first presented evidence for the Ice Age, secular scientists have been mystified. Why did it start? What caused it to stop? Over the years, creation scientists have realized that the unusual conditions created on the earth by the global Flood described in Genesis caused the Ice Age. And they have developed a powerful model that answers questions surrounding it. Table 1 presents the three requirements that must be met before an ice age can develop. These conditions existed immediately after the global Flood.
