Job 37

"By the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen." v.10


Read chapter 37
This seems to be referencing the Ice Age here.  Did man back then know of the Ice Age if it was millions of years ago before there were even humans?  Not if you believe in evolution or an old earth. 
Institute for Creation Research scientists have repeatedly analyzed the Ice Age, showing how a solitary post-Flood ice age was both relatively brief and recent.1 A scientific model based on the biblical account fits the geological facts much better than explanations offered by old-earth evolutionists.1,2  However, beyond chronological data for a young earth,3 does the Bible provide evidence that corroborates the idea of a recent ice age? Yes. Although ignored by most readers, the vocabulary of the book of Job actually corroborates the scenario of a recent ice age caused by the global climate conditions that likely followed the worldwide Flood. ICR’s founder Dr. Henry Morris wrote, “There are more references to cold, snow, ice, and frost in Job than in any other book of the Bible.”...How can a book’s vocabulary be forensic evidence of global climate conditions?  Job’s book, which records events that occurred a few generations after the global Flood, uses language that fits the life experiences of people living during the post-Flood Ice Age. http://www.icr.org/article/8492
