The '''Antediluvian world''' existed before the [[Great flood]] of [[Noah]]. Humans had lived on Earth for close to 1500 years before God sent the flood and 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 argue that when God said that He would ''"wipe mankind ... from the face of the earth"'' ({{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=6|verses=7}}), He meant that He would leave no trace. | The '''Antediluvian world''' existed before the [[Great flood]] of [[Noah]].
