'''Antediluvian civilizations''' are civilizations believed to have existed before the [[Great flood]] of [[Noah]]. Assuming the Biblical account is accurate, then humans lived on Earth for close to 1500 years before God sent the flood. If the [[fossil record]] is indeed the result of this event, then one might reasonably expect evidence of antediluvian civilizations to be found deep in the [[strata]], although some creationists argue that when God said that He would "wipe mankind ... from the face of the earth" ( | '''Antediluvian civilizations''' are civilizations believed to have existed before the [[Great flood]] of [[Noah]].

It is believed by many [[creationists]] that humans originated at a high and noble state, and [[decline of humanity|later declined]]. Many believe advanced stages of technological development were reached before the [[great flood]]. Such presuppositions are usually based on the [[Biblical genealogy]], which states that ancient people lived to approximately 10 times our current life span. Also it is frequently mentioned that [[Adam]] and Eve would likely possess higher than normal intelligence since they were created as adults, with knowledge that subsequent humans obtain from their parents. Another theory states that the antediluvian race called the [[Nephilim]] was superior to other humans in this respect. | It is believed by many [[creationists]] that humans originated at a high and noble state, and [[decline of humanity|later declined]].
