Oard "became interested in creationism after reading Whitcomb and Morris’s ''[[The Genesis Flood]]'' in the early 1970s."<ref name=C>http://creation.com/michael-oard</ref>

His website reads:<ref>http://michael.oards.net/</ref>

{{quotebox|To build up by research the Flood Model based on Genesis 6-9 and other Scripture verses and to flesh out the post-Flood rapid Ice Age.}}

Given that Oard accepts the Bible as literally true, this comes dangerously close to [[circular reasoning]].
