Yellowstone Supervolcano and the Genesis Flood
On the last episode of the abbreviated 2020 season of MacGyver, ecoterrorists had a nuclear bomb. Instead of a major city, they intend to initiate a series of events to prompt the sleeping supervolcano at Yellowstone to erupt. Such an event could cost millions of people their lives. Can it happen?
While feral environmentalists would be overjoyed about the deaths of millions of people, such an eruption is extremely unlikely. The last eruption with a lava flow happened 70,000 Darwin years ago, and any prior large explosions were further back than that. While biblical creationists reject tendentious dating methods used by secular geologists (and their churcian fifth column), they can be used as relative points of reference.
According to creation science models, there was a great deal of volcanic activity during the Genesis Flood, as well as tectonic activity. Although there are occasional grumblings from the earth, volcanic activity has been decreasing over the years. Secular research inadvertently supports creation science again.

A group of geologists, led by Thomas Knott of the University of Leicester, UK, publishing in the journal Geology, have found evidence of previously unrecognized super-eruptions from the Yellowstone “hot spot.” The science team examined the trail of volcanism across Nevada and Idaho that ends in Wyoming and found two massive eruptions that occurred prior to any known eruption in Yellowstone National Park.
Volcanic eruptions are measured on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) and reported in numbers similar to earthquake magnitudes. But these indices are completely different, like apples and oranges, as they say.You can read more about this hot topic by clicking on "Yellowstone Super-Eruptions Declining."
