The Tailored Document
Both Adam and Noah were commanded to fill the earth and to exercise control over it. Each of them is actually the ancestor of all men in the present world. Each sinned by partaking of a fruit, Noah of the fruit of the vine and Adam of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. As a result, each became naked and then each was provided with a covering by someone else. Finally, the prophecy resulting in each case included a curse which has affected mankind ever since. (Dr. Henry Morris The Beginning of the World. p. 129.)

Resurrection Type
   It is interesting to note the recurring significance of the "17th day" in the narrative of the Flood. In the 17th day of the 2nd month, the flood began (Gen. 7:11); on the 17th day of the 7th month, the ark settled safely on the mountains of Ararat (Gen. 8:4). Then on the 17th day of the 11th month, 9 months after the Flood began, the dove returned with the olive leaf, indicating that plant life, with the necessary food for man's physical life, once again was growing in the earth (Gen 8:5-6, 10-11).
   This day thus became, in effect, the "resurrection day" for the earth, and especially for the ark and those preserved in it through the earth's great baptism. It is no doubt significant, therefore, that the anniversary of this date, many centuries later, was the date on which Christ rose from the dead! The 7th month of the Jewish civil year later was made the 1st month of the religious year, and the Passover was set for the 14th day of that month (Exod. 12:2). Christ, our Passover, was slain on that day, but then rose three days later, on the 17th day of the 7th month of the civil calendar! (Dr. Henry Morris The Beginning of the World. p. 109.)

Nothing New Under the Sun?
Peter did not agree with the principle of uniformity.
 In 2nd Peter 3:4 Peter addressed those who believed in the principle of uniformity. "All things continue as they were since the creation of the world." The rest of the chapter tells us that the principle of uniformity is not true. (Dr. Henry Morris, The Beginning of the World. p. 153. )

Scientific Study of the Origins of the Earth?
It should be obvious that modern "science," in the truest sense of the word, is able to study only the present cosmos. The antediluvian cosmos is no longer accessible for scientific measurement and observation. Such relics of the first cosmos as may have survived into the present world can, of course, be studied scientifically in their present condition, but this can tell us nothing directly about their former conditions of existence. The only genuine sources of information for an antediluvian cosmology would be either the historical records of eyewitness or divine revelation. The biblical record in Genesis is both. (Dr. Henry Morris, The Beginning of the World. p. 153.)

As a matter of observation, belief in something is necessary for true mental health. A philosophy of life is a philosophy, not a scientific experiment. A life based on the whim of the moment, with no rationale, is 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing' (Dr. Henry Morris, Scientific Creationism. p. 5).

The only reason for saying that special creation is incredible would be if one had certain knowledge that there was no God. Obviously, if no Creator exists, then special creation is incredible. But since a universal negative can only be proved if one has universal knowledge, such a statement requires omniscience. Thus, by denying God, Dr. Watson is claiming the attributes of God himself (Dr. Henry Morris, Scientific Creationism p. 8).

My favorite quote from Ken Ham:
No evidence for a worldwide flood? Right, all you have are "billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the earth."
