            NOCTILUCENT_CLOUDS_AND_THE_FLOOD_OF_NOAH

Creation Scientists have proposed that from the time of  Creation 
to  the Flood of Noah there was a great quantity of water in  the 
high  atmosphere. Is there any evidence for this? Actually  there 
is, and one of these evidences is presented here.
