In 1988 the newspaper De Telegraaf carried the headline “Ice Age Sets In for the Church.”
In 1988 het die koerant De Telegraaf dié hoofopskrif gehad: “Die Kerk betree ’n ystydperk.”

“Ice Age” for the Church
“Ystydperk” vir die kerk

It is theorized that the wetness was caused by heavy rains associated with the end of the ice ages.
Volgens die teorie is die nattigheid veroorsaak deur swaar reën wat met die einde van die ystye gepaard gegaan het.

Very likely, then, some of the evidence for the Flood is being misread as evidence of an ice age.
Heel waarskynlik word van die getuienis van die Vloed dus verkeerdelik as getuienis van ’n ystyd vertolk.

Scientists claim that the dolmens were built with erratic boulders from Scandinavia, which had been transported by glaciers during a primeval ice age.
Wetenskaplikes beweer dat die dolmens met swerfklippe uit Skandinawië gebou is wat gedurende ’n oerystyd deur gletsers vervoer is.

For example, orthodox science teaches that the surface of the earth has been shaped in many places by powerful glaciers during a series of ice ages.
Die ortodokse wetenskap sê byvoorbeeld dat die oppervlak van die aarde gedurende ’n reeks ystye op talle plekke deur kragtige gletsers gevorm is.

Concerning the time when scientists were developing their theory of ice ages, we read: “They were finding ice ages at every stage of the geologic history, in keeping with the philosophy of uniformity.
Ons lees aangaande die tyd toe wetenskaplikes hulle teorie oor ystye ontwikkel het: “Hulle het hul deur die filosofie van gelykvormigheid laat lei en ystye in elke stadium van die geologiese geskiedenis gevind.

“Just as we are slowly learning that primitive men are not necessarily savages, so we must learn to realize that the early men of the Ice Age were neither brute beasts nor semi-apes nor cretins.
“Net soos ons stadigaan leer dat die primitiewe mense nie noodwendig barbare was nie, so moet ons tot die besef kom dat die vroeë mense van die Ystyd nie redelose diere of half-ape of kretins was nie.

They point to the so-called ice ages, when the earth was supposedly much cooler than it is now; and in support of natural warming, they cite evidence that cold regions, such as Greenland, at one time supported vegetation that prefers warm areas.
Hulle meld die sogenaamde ystydperke, toe die aarde glo baie kouer was as wat dit nou is; en ter ondersteuning van natuurlike verwarming voer hulle bewyse aan dat koue gebiede, soos Groenland, eens op ’n tyd plantegroei onderhou het wat warm gebiede verkies.

In his study of crab spiders, German researcher Peter Jaeger of Mainz University “has identified 50 new varieties which flourish in the snow and ice of the Himalayas, at altitudes of up to 3,800 meters [12,500 feet],” says the newspaper The Asian Age.
Die Duitse navorser Peter Jaeger van die Universiteit van Mainz het in sy studie van krapspinnekoppe “50 nuwe soorte geïdentifiseer wat in die sneeu en ys van die Himalajas op hoogtes van tot 3 800 meter floreer”, sê die koerant The Asian Age.
