The Genesis Flood and Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Americans have a wealth of national monuments and parks, many of which are comprised of large tracts of land. Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) is the only one named after an individual, as Teddy was both a big game hunter and a conservationist president. TRNP went through changes, first as a memorial and finally as a national park in 1978. (By the way, the teddy bear was named in his honor.) TRNP went through changes, first as a memorial and finally as a national park in 1978. It is an unintentional monument to the Genesis Flood.

TRNP consists of a vast badlands landscape of flat-topped hills and isolated buttes. The sedimentary rocks in the park are members of the late-Flood (Cenozoic) Fort Union Group and contain mudstone, volcanic ash, sandstone, and lignite (low-grade coal). Conventional geologists claim these rocks were deposited by a series of rivers, swamps, and lakes long after the dinosaurs went extinct.But this interpretation doesn’t explain what visitors see at the park. Instead, four observations testify that the receding waters of the global Flood were instrumental in the creation of the rocks and the landscape at TRNP.
