Satan deceives as many as he can because his time is short. God is Eternal forever!
Satan is made up by priests to excuse god when things go bad, as they often do! WAKE UP!!
“But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
Matthew 7:14
Then why did God make it that way? Doesn’t he want for everybody to find the path that leads to everlasting life with him?
@@elilane8627yes he give grace to the humble resists tje proud does not want one to perish but if we will not repent then we must be judged, praise jesus he took our punishment for us if we obey God and receive his love and salvation, then we can be one with God and know his love, for he made the way for those who want eternal life and forgiven sins
@@elilane8627cuz God knows the end of His own book. He is just giving us a glimpse
So what? I would argue that him knowing the end result of his plan makes it even worse, he still chose to create people in such a way that only a few would ever find him and be saved from the hell that he also created specifically for them to be tortured in. If he wanted for everyone to believe in him and be saved he could have made that happen but he chose not to. Btw I’m not “angry at god” like Christians love to tell me, I don’t think he exists in the first place to be angry at. I’m just pointing out that if he exists and if he is as powerful as I’ve been led to believe by every Christian I’ve ever interacted with, surely he could have done better than this.
@@JesusIsLord7773 also are you saying we don’t have the whole book? Is the Bible given to us in incomplete form? Because I was told the Bible is the perfect word of God, and I don’t know if you knew this but the Bible does have an ending that tells us about the end of gods plan. And what it definitely does not say is that everyone will be saved.
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
Bible verses are not going to convince People.
@@davidpiot8098 But God can. 🤗
@@easybackyardbbq i still have to see demonstrable evidence for a god.
@@davidpiot8098 do you believe in love? You can’t see it but you believe it. You can’t see oxygen but you no it’s there. Point is, you have to make a choice, you can either decide to open your heart up and really see that God is real or you have your heart blocked and hardened and you will miss the chance at eternity in Heaven. I pray for you brother and really hope you at least will be open cause what would you do if you could see afterlife and realize you made the wrong choice. Just something to really think about. Be blessed.
@@easybackyardbbq i Prefer evidence before a choice is made. A choice can only be made if all the facts are known and understood.
If not it is only based on blind Faith.
So i'll pass on any religion. It has nothing to offer that we need.
But if you want to believe, then that is your prerogative
And Oxygen can be maesured, so we Know it exists.
There is an overwhelming amount of archeological evidence that confirms the word of God. Truth cannot be determined apart from the Scriptures.
So tell us what this evidence is?

Evidence: God‘s word is true!
My wife and I really enjoyed the Ark Encounter. I especially loved the ride that takes you back into time. That was amazing!
You really think a 500 year old man and his 3 sons could build something like that with a bronze axe hammer?
@@davidgardner863 Well, with God all things are possible for one and two that was a long time ago before a world shattering event so how do we know what people were capable of doing at that time or what all they had available. I think they could have been farther advanced than we are today. Imagine the knowledge a person would have built up if they lived a few hundred years.
@@Fradycatcartoons , Are you suggesting that they had chain saws, lumber mills, diesel engines, generators, steel mills, computers, and Home Depot? Of course with God all things are possible, so he must have given Noah all that and more then made it all disappear except for a few bronze tools just to fool us. Thanks for enlightening me.
@@davidgardner863 They point out he could have hired workers. Doesn't mean they would have agreed to go aboard.
@@logicianbones , Noah hiring workers is one of the dumbest ideas that creationists have come up with. You have no idea of the manpower required for such a huge project. Even if it was possible (which it wasn’t) Noah would have to be the Elon Musk of his day to afford it and do you think Elon Musk is the most righteous man alive?
Any geologist can certify that the geological record with its strata cannot be interpreted as the result of one flood. This is just bending the evidence to a preconceived idea.
Note also that for example the layers with dinosaurs in them (the Jurassic and Chalk formations) give way to strata no longer containing these animals. Please do not tell us that the heavy dinosaurs were sinking to lower strata of deluvial mud. The same layering applies to small juvenile dinosaurs and eggs.
Also, rain comes from the sea and earth's surface and is not ultimately a source of rising sea levels. It's a cycle.
The story of Noah is just a story!
You should read "The Genesis Flood" by Dr. Henry Morris. Everything you said is factually, scientifically, and biblically incorrect.
@@crunchyhippo8957 Oh well, this appears to be mainly the type of bending the evidence that I meant to preempt already. The layering is attributed to different strength and size of the individual animals. This book was classified as pseudoscience already at the time of its publication and has cultural relevance only for the development of the evangelical churches in the USA.
“Biblically incorrect” is a hilarious category. Have you recently read Genesis 1? They are actually putting the creation of plants before the creation of the sun! In addition, bats and whales were created on Thursday, but other mammals on Friday. Also, the sun and the stars are just “lights” in the sky meant to illuminate the Earth. It’s unfair to point out the nonsense as the authors had no way of knowing at the time, but it’s strange to see this as relevant now.
@@erikt1713 As I said earlier, only a regenerate heart will believe the Bible and the life-giving message within it, however, I think it requires far more faith to believe in the religion of evolution. Even as an unregenerate, I could never believe that the Earth and all that we see and experience happened by chance and that there isn’t any purpose to any of it and that it is all random. Take for example the human eye, or even one single cell and consider how complex are the functions of these. Man cannot make anything that even comes close to an eye, heart, lung, brain, etc. There is so much beauty to behold on this planet, and yet, there are many scars and evidence of a catastrophic event. Maybe, just maybe, this world WAS CREATED by a being far more intelligent/advanced than the inhabitants HE put here who HE claims are made in HIS image. As a human, I can make many things like a soup and I can even grow many of my ingredients, but I can’t make a seed. It was already here. Humans can build a house or a camera or a computer but no human can build a tree or an eye or a brain, all of which are far more complex than the aforementioned things. Humans always try to copy what they see in nature that already exists. Humans are really smart and have made some amazing things, but never has a human made anything as complex as whatever or ,in my opinion, Whoever made nature. A Creator who made us and loves us and has an eternal purpose for us makes far more sense to me and is far more logical to me than randomness and explosions causing the Earth and everything else to form. Only the creationists viewpoint satisfies the question of origins for me. To create is to make something from nothing. God brought the raw materials into existence. Now, can I explain God? No, I cannot. He simply was, is, and always will be and therefore deserves our respect and our worship. He is also loving and wants a relationship with those He created. This Earth is cursed at the moment and under judgement due to sin, but one day will be made new. This God who made us also became a man himself and dwelt among us and lived a sinless life and died and rose from the dead showing us His power over death. If we believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God and confess with our mouths that God has raised Him from the dead, we shall be saved. We will live in a new heaven and a new earth. We will obtain new bodies that aren’t affected by disease or death. This is good news! I hope you will believe it.
@@debrathomas2704 Thanks for the long reply. I met Christians earlier in my life, and it always puzzles me how they can believe in an invisible God who is clearly fine with human suffering, including of children, and never intervenes or does anything even in war, famine or natural disasters ("acts of God" in legal language).
As a child, Iiked looking for fossils in an old quarry and I learned the names of dinosaurs. I like learning about animals, for example the wondrous evolution of the whale or the strange lifecycles of some parasites.
I would never trade the beauty of understanding for a childish story like Genesis 1. They are creating the plants before the sun has been created, can you believe it? (I cannot).
A man as a god is utter nonsense and blasphemy even in Judaism and Islam.
@@erikt1713 I always find it amusing how religious people argue in favour of evidence when it suits them, but dismiss evidence when it doesn't.
Anyone else own "The True Meaning of the Rainbow" t-shirt? I have one, and I love it! Thanks, AiG!!
Wasn't the rainbow god's little post-it in the bible to remind it that genocide is wrong? How does an all powerful being not know that genocide is wrong?
@taylorthetunafish5737 no, it wasn't God's little post-it note. The real rainbow is His promise to never destroy the earth by flood again. And God always keeps His promises.
@taylorthetunafish5737 how was it genocide when he destroyed everything due to serious evil corruption?
God didn't kill certain race, national, or any ethnic groups because of these things.
He said he will destroy everything and gave the reasons why.
How is it that you can't comprehend very basic words?
@taylorthetunafish5737 God knows evil is wrong and destroys it, something you athiest don't understand, you all complain that God doesn't do anything and then out the other side of you face you complain when God does something.
Btw we are all given the death penalty, capital punishment because of our transgressions, it's why we all die according to the Bible. The wages of sin is death and we have earned our wages because we are all guilty of breaking God's Moral Law which is written on our conscience.
God isn't unjustified in killing you you are guilty, it's not genocide for the simple fact
1) God isn't murdering you, because you are guilty and God is justified because he is the Law giver of Morality in the first place
2) God isn't killing you based on ethnicity, race, or nationality.
So again explain how you think God is guilty of genocide?
@@wm1958 In the flood God killed children, babies and animals. He also instructed the Israelites to kill all of the Cannanite children. This is genocide. Of course, if God is all powerful he can kill anything he has created, like a child stamping on his toys. You also seem to be using the logic that if God says something is good, then it is. They also use this sort of logic in North Korea.
I do like the way that you think that God is an equal opportunities genocidal killer. That did make me chuckle. An amusing logical fallacy if ever there was one, so well done for that.
Now, I don't think either the Flood or the Canaanite massacre are actual historical events. However, the author(s) of the Pentateuch did like to represent their deity with a generous anthropomorphic helping, as was typically the case in those times. it is a matter of faith that anyone would accept that the author actually had a hotline to the supreme creator of the universe who told him of all this, including all of the feelings of anger, vengeance, regret etc etc. Whether these events happened or not, it is worrying that christian theists feel that we all deserve the most awful and infinite suffering for merely existing.
I wonder why kangaroo fossils are only found in Australia and not anywhere between the mountains of Ararat and Australia.
Small population moving under various pressures. eg. Climate (ice age) predators etc. After the ice age sea levels rise and land bridges covered in water. No trace of migration remains. Even large populations of animals leave relatively few fossils. Interestingly there are cave paintings in India which may (or may not) depict kangaroos.
@@jefferygoldthorpe919 Not enough time -- not REMOTELY enough time for those migrations. Do the math... only a pair of Kangaroos... a single predator... no more Kangaroos. Stop lying!
@@spelaeologusThey started reproducing immediately And the predators were few and far between also. Additionally, God was in control to let the population spread throughout the world. Contraire to popular belief, God is smarter than we are... Give me five!
@@dr4391 So... when the rational science stops your explanation... you resort to magic then?
@@spelaeologus Biases in science suppress the truth in the past and today (Covid). Real science supports the Bible.
I first heard a presentation by Ken Ham when his ministry in the Cincinnati metro area was two years old. It was the first time I ever heard someone back up the Bible with science and expose the evidence that evolutionary science hides or purposely misinterprets. That lecture changed my life and allowed me to see a more accurate picture of the Bible. The things I have learned from AIG, other ministries, and science has shown me how accurate the Bible is concerning creation and the Flood. The science behind evolution making the claims that life has been on earth for millions of years is absolutely ludicrous. The science promotiong evolution has more holes than a sieve.
Sadly, I know you will not take a blind bit of notice of what I am about to write. When I am Ill, I consult a doctor. If I wish to learn about Impressionism, I consult an art historian. If I have a raging toothache I see a dentist and if I have difficulty deciphering a medieval manuscript, I seek the help of a palaeographer. Likewise, for any sort of appraisal of the biblical flood story, I turn to the expertise of competent geologists, palaeontologists, archaeologists and biologists. Mr Ham is none of these. In each of these fields, incidentally, there are researchers who are also devout, practising Christians, who would take pleasure in explaining to you in very simple terms why the Genesis creation and flood stories are not remotely credible, whilst at the same time reassuring you that this does not undermine their own Christian faith.
As I have said multiple times elsewhere, please do not overlook the fact that a literal reading of the Old Testament as the true, inerrant word of God leaves you no choice (please take note : you have no choice) but to believe in executing women accused of witchcraft (a direct, unambiguous order from God) and anyone who curses his or her parents (likewise). You must chop women’s hands off as a form of punishment : you must “show them no pity”, God specifically warns you. If God orders you to batter a man to death with stones for collecting firewood on the sabbath day, you must obey without question, just as God’s people did in the book of Numbers. They could have chosen to disobey, but if you wish to believe that you are following God’s word, then you have no such choice.
The notion of "Answers in Genesis" became entirely non-viable with the invention of the telescope, spacecraft, and DNA sequencing. Effectively no part of what the Hebrew bible says or implies about cosmology or biology comports with observed reality.
#1 Evolution is a fact! #2 There is NO science in the bible or that props up all the magical nonsense IN the bible. Give that BS up right now and you'll save yourself years of stress from cognitive dissonance.
@@user-ex4wx1rj7s Considering that you claim to consult "experts," you should consult someone with more Biblical knowledge than you. Killing witches and stoning people was written specifically to the nation of Israel. Yes, there were some strict penalties for disobedience in the Torah. There were legitimate reasons for them, which I am not going to get into. I suggest you consult a Rabbi. That is their expertise.
You challenge Ken Ham's and my "expertise" in relation to the Bible and science. Getting a degree is NOT the only way to gain expertise. That is a strong argument liberals use to try to discredit people. They say a person must attend one of "their" accredited institutions to be "qualified." The way ANYONE develops any expertise is by STUDY and "THINKING!" I have a BS in engineering, so I have some expertise with science and analytical thinking. I am going to challenge the LACK of thinking by some of your so-called experts.
If you look a the deposited layers in canyons, like the Grand Canyon or the Wind River Canyon in Wyoming, "geologists" claim each layer required millions of years to develop. Yet, the boundary between each layer is almost a straight line any where you look. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! Wind, rain, and erosion change the terrain. If these layers are millions of years old, why are there no signs of erosion in ANY of the layers? "Geologists" use radiometric dating to determine the age of rocks. They commonly make claims of rocks being millions of years old. Yet, when they use radiometric dating on a flow, such as in Hawaii, that is KNOWN to be 50 years old, radiometric dating says it is millions of years old. They don't make that widely known, do they? One may say they are covering it up.
Biological matter can only survive for about 20,000 years at best. Yet, when they find biological evidence on dinosaur bones, they claim the bones are millions of years old. How does that make sense? Which "expert" is not telling the truth? There are millions of fossil records. If evolution were true, we should be able to identify millions of "transition" species. We should be able to follow the evolution of a leg into a bird wing. Where are the transistion species? There are NONE.
There are many experts in the fields you listed who believe in and scientifically document the science behind creation and the flood. There are many experts, some of them Christians, who believe in evolution, but they have NO ANSWER to the lack of erosion, differences in radiometric dating, the fossil records, or biological matter found on fossils.
@@michaelfraser4396 I shall restrict myself to a few key points. Re-reading my original comment, I see that I was unduly polite. Your reply is as condescending as it is duplicitous ; but I shall try not to be drawn into that game. Where in the Bible does it specify that “this law is for everyone, that law is only for Israelites” ? Or can we just choose for ourselves ? That's certainly very convenient. Why tell ANYONE to murder witches ? Does that make it acceptable, just so long as non-Israelites don’t join in the fun ? Which of course is precisely what happened, as Christian civilizations persecuted, tortured and executed witches up to the end of the 18th century. They were obeying the Bible ; nobody seems to have explained to them that it only applied to Israelites. But then, why did God make such a law at all ?... There is no such thing as witchcraft, so he knew that the tens of thousands of victims would all be innocent women, wrongly accused of a made-up crime. "There were legitimate reasons" you say, although I should consult a Rabbi to know what those "legitimate reasons" are. I shalln't bother. “Legitimate reasons” for atrocities committed in the name of God always disgust me for some reason.
My wording in the sentence concerning the sabbath was perfectly clear. I did not imply that there is a law imposing stoning (the Bible merely orders us to “put to death” Sabbath-defilers). My question was “if God orders you to…?”, as he did in the story of the man collecting sticks. You did not answer, and that is probably just as well.
Where in my comment do you find the word “degree” ? Where do I mention “accredited institutions” ? I don't know why, but the words "straw" and "man" flit briefly through my mind. I simply state that I prefer to consult a dentist for my toothache, rather than a used car salesman who has seen a couple of toothpaste adverts on CZcams. Which is more-or-less what you show yourself to be with all your waffle about the deposited layers in the Grand Canyon and radiometric dating. You express your disdain for geologists by putting the word in inverted commas. Would you do the same if you required heart surgery ? Would you tell the "cardiologist" that having a degree from an accredited institution does not meet your exacting requirements of “study and thinking” as you put it ?
I at no point claim to have any scientific expertise ; which is why I do not pretend to do so, even though I like to believe that I am also capable of a little “study and thinking”. I recognize in your exposé on geology all the tired old AiG clichés about transitional fossils and radiometric dating. I am not qualified to debate questions about geology or paleontology, so I do not permit myself simply to repeat what Ken Ham and his ilk may have told me about the inadequacies of “experts with degrees from accredited institutions”. You are right that these experts (or "experts" in inverted commas as you contemptuously label them) have no answers to questions about transitional fossils, erosion and biological matter found on fossils… just so long as you continue not to ask them.
What is the "This" that CANNOT be denied by atheists?
Billions of dead things laid down by water trapped in rock over the entire planet!
Next question.
@@dagwouldAtheists do not deny this. Ken uses the wrong term here. H means Geologists and paleontologists, or even scientists. The huge majority of atheists are not any of these things and have no interest in the topic.
So, to carry on with my comment. SCIENTISTS do not deny this . They just have a better explanation that fits ALL the evidence. Ken Ham's explanation is flawed because it does not fit the evidence.
@@sytonicflux where does the Bible say he didn't?
@@dagwould
You're right, he did say that. I'm just too much of a literalist, I was looking for him to say, "Atheists, when they see... must admit that..."
Also, to make another excuse for myself, if I may, because of all the click-baity stuff going on on youtube, even by people I agree with, I _expect_ misleading stuff.
@@sytonicflux He did. Their is plenty of historical evidence showing dinosaurs co-existing with man. The evolutionists cover it up and bury it, so most people never hear of it. Read the book, After the Flood. he reveals some of the historical evidence of dinosaurs only existing three to four hundred years ago. He shows evidence of a T-rex and farmers wanting to kill flying dinosaurs because they were deadly to their poultry. The lochness monster is a dinosaur. A Japanese fishing boat found a dead dinosaur similar to the Lochness Monster and were hauling it back to land, but they had to cut it loose because the decaying body was making everyone on board sick. There are pictures of the dead body. There is a dinosaur footprint with a man's footprint in the middle of it.
Ken, I'm always inspired by your teachings. My family and I have visited both the Ark, and the Creation Museum. What an amazing ministry!!
Thank you Ken Ham and AiG! God bless your ministry more and more!
Amen! ❤️
@@mlamber7780 and @totobermundo Please learn to think for yourselves. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. God hates deception, right? Well, Ken is deceiving you. Read a geology book all the way through ( a real one, not one Ken's fake one's) and then ask yourself, which explanation for what the world is like is more likely?
Science, not religion.
Go see the rock layers in the Grand Canyon or even the Adirondacks.
Think!
I will not pretend that I have not frequently expressed my somewhat disparaging views on Answers in Genesis, but I really did make an effort to watch and to listen to this present video in the hope of finding (as the title promises) something to make me re-consider, however slightly, my views on the flood story. I saw first the title “You CANNOT Deny the Biblical Flood Once You Realize THIS”. That promises some pretty weighty arguments. I then found myself confronted with an all-capitals caption “EXPLAIN THIS, ATHEISTS”. I prepared myself for an interesting challenge, and the opportunity to exchange some perceptive and well thought-out debating-points.
I do not mean to be cynical, but I quite genuinely cannot even find what it is that I am challenged to explain, or what it is that I am expected to realise.
Mr Ham begins by telling us that the Bible says there was a flood. I knew that already and I don’t believe it. It must have been a global flood. Why? The Bible says so. Sorry, but I still don’t believe it. There have been regional floods, but this was a world-wide flood. Again - why? Again, the only argument : the Bible says so. The Bible was written by people who didn’t know that Australia, Antarctica and the Americas even existed. But of course you say it's God's word, and there is no point my saying anything else. That is not a debate.
I already know there are lots of Flood myths. I already know they share a lot in common. Perhaps we can dicuss what that implies... but no. Mr Ham tells me the Bible is the original. Oh, really ? How do we know ? The Bible is the word of God. Back to square one. And all the others are the result of the Tower of Babel. Why ? Surprise, surprise. The Bible says so.
How is it possible to discuss anything if the answer is always “The Bible says so”. The fossil record proves it. No it doesn’t. It proves no such thing. Ask any competent palaeontologist and/or any competent geologist. You might find one that is willing to agree with you : but for that one, there are a thousand others who will tell you, show you, explain to you and present you with the irrefutable proof that you are wrong. They will not just say “there’s a book that says so”.
You have a belief. I know my words will not have any effect whatsoever upon that belief. You can proclaim that belief if you so wish. I am not trying to convert you, or to sell you a set of books or tickets to an amusement park. But please have at least the good grace not to use fallacious expressions such as “You cannot deny X. Y or Z once you realise this”. I can deny it. I do deny it. Your statement is therefore false.
I was going to reply to this video. But this comment expressed all my objections! Well said.
Macro evolution is a worthless collection of fairytales mangled together by bitter pagans. It serves no purpose to humanity, it hasn't produced anything good in the world. It is the pinnacle of idiocy. There isn't one piece, just one, of evidence for this garbled mess anywhere in existence, in all dimensions of existence. This old satanic religion has run it's course. Ende.
You know, at the end of the day we can never give you enough proof if you don't want to believe it. If God Himself came down and spoke directly to you, you still would not believe if you didn't want to, you'd think you were hallucinating or something. But my friend, what happens to you after you die? You don't owe me a reply at all, but that question must ring in your ears in the quiet of your thoughts. It makes more sense to me, that someone created everything rather than nothing created everything and if that makes just a slight sliver of sense, then I implore you to seek out the Creator. I know, from my own life that when we seek Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, not from a place of pride or trying to prove something wrong, that He will show up. I'm going through a lot of pain right now, but Jesus has been giving me a peace that I wish I could hand you just a small bit of it through this message. I'm going to pray for you, I truly hope that you will have a moment where you realize life is meaningless unless there is something after, someone after. ❤
@@Psalm2710_Amen! Beautiful comment.
@@Skovyd Thank you. That's very kind.
Where did all the dinosaurs fit 😂😂😂😂
The Bible says “God told Noah to take two of every kind of animal…”. Most of the dinosaur “kinds” weren’t as big as Brontosaurus or T-rex, and even of those kinds, Noah likely brought a younger and much smaller male and female aboard the ark.🦕 🦖
@debrathomas2704 WOW!!! Fancy that and is the earth 6000 years old????
@@desmondirwin200 Sounds reasonable to me! Scientists say that the earth gets a little farther away from the sun each year. If the earth were billions of years old, it would have started out so close to the sun that it would have been destroyed and couldn’t have existed. The sediment layer that scientists measure in the oceans is consistent with an earth that is only thousands of years old. The layer of dust that is on the moon is also consistent with a moon that is only thousands of years old. These are measurable things. I haven’t heard a good argument yet for an earth that is millions or billions of years old.
saving it not through your works. knowledge makes proud. God saves.
Faith!!
So was it in the days of Noah.
You can see it in these replies! His coming may well be soon!
Ham intentionally ignores the extensive disproofs of the flood of Noah to feed the gullible and those entrenched in the need to believe. Chemistry, oceanography, dendrology, genetics, speleology, ice core sampling, and millennia old continuous cultures all show Ham to be just one more of the many apologist shysters.
And all that believe in the simplicity of the Bible said Amen! Thank you Ken!
Simplicity? Yes, but there's so much more to it...
When it comes to Ken Ham's defence of the Genesis creation and flood stories, I think "simplistic" is the word you meant. Or was it "simpleton" ?
For all of the vultures and dingoes that encamp around this website that provides strong food to the hungry and pure water to the thirsty and where the gospel is unashamedly proclaimed maybe I should have said “ all that believe in the sincere and undiluted word of God say Amen.“ . But simple was just too big a word for some to comprehend. We choose to believe the Bible (Gods Word) from “ In the beginning ( Genesis 1:1 to Rev 22:21. With all sincerity and gravity be filled with Godly sorrow and humble yourselves before God and Jesus and repent (. Be truly sorry of your sins ) and he will save you and come in your heart and give you new life . Amen or So be it !
I think the last word you can use is "simplicity"!
Thanks!!!😊❤
Great stuff as always!
Amen Ken! AiG is a great and much needed ministry for our day.
Ken Ham is a big liar about the holy angels being created along with humans in the 7 day week! WTH? Even as a brand new Christian i never believed that crap! The reason Genesis does not go into detail about Lucifer and 1/3 angels turning on God in heaven is because Genesis is written for mankind not the angels. Lucifer turned bad in heaven way before humans were created. Bible says Satan was kicked out of heaven and brought down to earth. Later Adam and Eve were created, then later Satan tempted Eve.... Ken is a liar and is wrong here!!!
If the flood was global then how did all the animals get on all the islands in the sea? Did the kangaroos swim to Australia?
Yes, and the Polar Bears walked from the desert to the sea, and swam north.
They knew they were white and their food was over there.
The siblings of Noah got Asian, black, Indian in a few years, and got blue, green and brown eyes.
As a polar bear I can confirm, really inconsiderate of Noah not to at least drop us off on the right continent, we’ve held a grudge ever since, it’s why we hunt you guys, you know since all of you are his descendants

The world wide cataclysmic flood lasted for a total of 371 days. It was not just 40 days and 40 nights as many naively believe and parrot. At the end of that time there were 74 days in which the waters were rapidly receding to once again expose more and more dry land. Which would have been in itself catastrophic and resulted in huge deformations, slides, large deposits and other such events associated with vast amounts of water moving rapidly. The rapid recession of all that water saw huge canyons and valleys being carved as fast or faster than we see in modern representations such as "Mount Saint Helens" and other such events we've witnessed in recent history, disproving many of the millions or billions of years time tables. There would also have been vast amounts of vulcanism as a result of the rapid movement of the tectonic plates as they spread out from a single massive land mass, "super continent", as is proposed by many even in the secular world. There's the new sea floor being created during that time as the tectonic plates shifted and moved. Then there's all the other cataclysmic events contained in that world wide flood, due to the many volcanos, the "Ring of Fire" and "Super Volcanos" being active as a result of tectonic shifts resulting in many changes one of which was that new islands were formed. All of this would have naturally resulted in an Ice Age as the conditions of warm oceans with cool summers and mild winters would have been perfect for the precipitation needed for such an event. The amount of particulate in the atmosphere from all that vulcanism would also help explain and have been a large contributing factor to the normalization of temperatures during that time. As the oceans cooled, (study cooling associated with evaporation), the winters became colder and summers hotter, (due to less particulate in the atmosphere and reflection of sunlight), resulting in less precipitation and so the Ice Age came to an end. When looking for indicators as to what the weather was like at the end of or just after the Ice Age the Book of Job is an interesting study. It is thought to have been written after the ice age during a time when the earth was still being rebalanced, for lack of a better non scientific term. Even though in our Bibles Books such as Exodus and others are ordered before it, Job and the events in the Book were actually recorded, written before them. We see things discussed such as snow, hail and ice for one of if not the first times in Scripture. Weather phenomenon that Job had seen and could understand or the LORD would not have used them. 1 Corinthians 14:33.
Again the Book of Job is an interesting glimpse into those times and is thought to be among one of the oldest Books of the Bible. Fitting in the timeline after the flood had ended but still during a time of change 500 to 700 years after that global cataclysmic event. The timing of the Book of Job also gives us insights into how long the ice age lasted as we can see things were normalizing, rearranging into four very distinct seasons. The Ice Age was the natural result of a worldwide catastrophic flood and exactly what we would expect to find after such an event. As has been shown by the many evidences we see all around us and computer models that sadly do not see the same level of enthusiasm as the more manipulated secular models do. With their overrepresentation in media, schools and secular circles to the detriment of education and the sciences. We can see their closed minds and hearts, resulting in their inability to understand. When you look at the things made without the Creator who made them how can you possibly hope to understand the things that were made. Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-5, Ephesians 3:9
As always, brother Ham, you've presented the truth of God's Word and it's up to those who hear whether they will accept it or not. That's the problem though isn't it, the willingness to accept God's Word and by extension Him or continue to lean on one's own understanding and the imaginations of men.

Notice, by way of comparison to the Genesis account of Noah’s flood, that lines 29 and 30 of the Gilgamesh Epic state about the Gilgamesh boat: “her dimensions all shall be equal: her length and breath (width) shall be the same”. Now line 57 tells us her height was ten rods (“ten rods the height of her sides”) and line 58 that the length of her sides was also ten rods, and if her length and breath (width) were the same, that means the ship was 10 rods long x 10 rods wide x 10 rods high (“her dimensions all shall be equal,” line 29). This vessel would not have been very stable according to modern shipbuilders. It would have looked like a square box 165 ft long by 165 ft wide by 165 ft high ( 1 rod = 16 ½ feet).
Now, compare this to the dimensions of Noah’s Ark. ”And this is how you shall make it: Genesis 6:15: “ The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.” Shipbuilders have calculated that the dimensions of Noah’s Ark-300 cubits x 50 cubits x 30 cubits = 450 feet long x 75 feet wide x 45 feet high-would give a ratio of 6:1 which, with a rectangular barge or box-like shape and a very low center of gravity, would produce an extremely stable ship-so stable in fact that when they did experiments using a scaled-down prototype of the ark in a water tank (Laboratory) producing assimilated ocean waves, they found that the ark could upright itself from a 90 degree tilt. In other words, it was a rectangular barge shape 450 feet by 75 feet by 45 feet wide with a Catwalk on top. They concluded that a ship the size of Noah’s Ark built to the biblical specifications could easily have stayed afloat in 150-foot waves, much larger than average oceanic waves today . They estimated that the extra weight of all the animals, which would have put the ship lower in the water, would have made it even more stable. The U. S. battleship Oregon was built around the turn of the century using the same ratio (6:1) in construction as that of Noah’s Ark. There are many other significant differences between the two accounts.
As for the 2014 film, Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Russell Crowe; that is nothing but a mockery of the biblical account of Noah and the Flood, which was anything but a pile of crude logs bound together that would not have been seaworthy in waves in the Atlantic (some over 75 feet), much less typical Hollywood. If you want to focus on major discrepancies , how about comparing the far more credible and believable details of the Genesis Flood of Noah with the Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic. I did this research one week at the public Library and here are some of my findings:
Noah’s Flood (Genesis 8: 7-11):Notice that the ship in the Gilgamesh Epic had 6 decks (line 60) whereas the ark in Genesis had 3 decks. Also, the flood in the Gilgamesh Epic lasted one week only (lines 127-130)-hardly sufficient to bring about a global catastrophic flood , as evidenced by the worldwide distribution of billions of fossils of all life-forms. The Genesis Flood, on the other hand, lasted 150 days (including the 40-days and 40-nights of rain) before the flood waters abated or receded. Finally, the Genesis account tells us that a dove brought a freshly plucked olive tree to Noah-tangible evidence that the flood waters had receded from the earth-whereas the Gilgamesh Epic tells us that the raven, which saw the waters receding and found food, did not return to the ship (line 156). How then did Uta-napishti know for sure that the flood waters had actually receded? He could only have assumed because the raven did not return that it saw the flood waters receding and found food, but he could not have known for certain, as did Noah, without some tangible evidence.
Some skeptics and liberal theologians would have us believe that the Jews who wrote the Bible actually borrowed myths of Babylonian origin concerning the Genesis Flood from the Gilgamesh Epic (and others) to include with their own writings. However, the big problem with this assumption, as we have observed in our comparison of the details of the Epic of Gilgamesh with the Genesis Flood, is that the latter is far more reasonable and believable than the former. The details of the Gilgamesh Epic, which merely reflects the true record of the Bible, are the ones that have become corrupted and distorted, due to the limitations of human fallibility.
Obviously stories handed down generation after generation that are not carefully preserved-particularly if they are handed down by word of mouth-do not improve with age. The truth is lost and the stories degenerate markedly. On the other hand, the biblical records have been handed down in written form (though there was a slight period of oral transmission in its early history), carefully preserved by the superintendency of God and have not been corrupted.
Assuming our ancient past was very primitive and over a long period of time, we must ask ourselves how certain details of the story of the Great Flood or Deluge (we looked at same) could have been handed down from one primitive stone-aged culture to another purely by oral tradition, for hundreds of thousands of years, to be fully incorporated into the Gilgamesh Epic of the Babylonians. That such a thing could have happened for several thousand years is remotely conceivable. That it could have happened over a hundred thousand years is quite inconceivable. “The Gilgamesh Epic alone, rightly considered, administers a fatal blow to the concept of a vast antiquity for Noah” (quote by Dr. John C. Whitcomb in The Early Earth).
Conclusion: The Epic of Gilgamesh is a distorted and corrupted reflection of divine revelation-the true record of the Genesis Flood
#1: Wrong, there is no evidence of a global flood -- more accurately, there exist mountains of evidence contrary to the possibility/actuality of a global flood happening... EVER! #2: There is ample evidence of LOCAL floods worldwide, at vastly different times, not to mention repeated stories because floods are cyclic by nature. #3: It isn't only "some skeptics and liberal theologians" who advocate for plagiarism committed by those at the Council of Nicaea... it's the consensus among unbiased 1st century Historians (ref. Richard Carrier, et al.)
You're not remotely credible -- you've clearly been brainwashed into believing in conspiracy theories instead of understanding how to analyze actual evidence.
Exactly. I was going to say the same thing about the "epic of Gilgamesh"; a fictional contrivance of later peoples who deviated from the Biblical account as did hundreds of other civilizations. But even though their stories are fanciful and unscientific; the very presence of legends of the earthwide flood is cause for examination of a great disaster that affected all descendants of Noah's family down thru the subsequent centuries. Thanks for lending that insight!
Hey Mr. Ham...was there around 35,000-40,000 species (kinds) of spiders on the Ark too? Of course, times two as they all came in pairs.
And BTW...how did kangaroos get from Australia to Middle East and then from Turkey to Australia?
How do fossilized animal tracks and footprints happen to exist between the rock layers if the flood was a single and quick catastrophic event? There should be no signs of animal activity within the strata, just their corpses, if the sediment was deposited underwater by a flash flood.

Nice story but the flood story goes back thousands of years before Noah was born. The Sumerians wrote about it. One of their Hero’s was called Gilgamesh. He searched for the person that created the the ‘Ark’ He was called Utnapishtim, in one era, and Ziusudra in another Atra Hasis in yet another all going back long before anyone thought to write the Bible. Which is a collection of old stories told and retold over generations. Look what happens to Chinese Whispers in just one day. Imagine then what happens to a story retold for 6,000 years,
Perhaps the book called “The 12th Planet” by Zechariah Sitchin should be perused. Not that people deeply indoctrinated in The Bible would be inclined to believe a word of it.
Wrong. The true record of the Genesis Flood--given by inspiration of God to Moses, the author of the first five books of the Bible, including Genesis, from the time of creation to the world-wide flood of Noah--is supported not only by God’s providence in preserving His inspired, infallible Word over the centuries until it was finally compiled, edited, and written down by Moses, as evidenced by the accuracy and credibility of its details, but also by the One-Source Theory that leads back to the historical event of the Flood and Noah’s Ark, by the fact that the Hebrews were well known for handing down their records and tradition, and also the fact that the Book of Genesis is viewed for the most part as an historical work, even by many liberal scholars, while the Epic of Gilgamesh is viewed as mythological. On the other hand, it is quite inconceivable that the details of the Epic of Gilgamesh, as well as those of this subsequent Babylonian tablet, could be handed down for hundreds of thousands of years (Gilgamesh cuneiform tablets date as far back as 4,000 years), to be fully incorporated in the Gilgamesh Epic of the Babylonians or even later Babylonian clay tablet without being corrupted.
It makes more sense that Genesis is actually older--that it was the original and the pagan myths arose as distortions of that original account. While Moses lived long after the event, he probably acted as the editor of far older sources. For example, Genesis 10:19 gives matter-of-fact directions, ‘as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim’. These were the cities of the plain God destroyed for their extreme wickedness 500 years before Moses. Yet Genesis gives directions at a time when they were well-known landmarks, not buried under the Dead Sea.
It is common to make legends out of historical events, but not history from legends. The liberals commonly assert that monotheism is a late evolutionary religious development. The Bible teaches that mankind was originally monotheistic. Archaeological evidence suggests the same, indicating that only later did mankind degenerate into idolatrous pantheism. Stories of a gigantic global flood that nearly destroyed all humanity are found all over the globe (over 200 non-biblical historical accounts from tribes and nations around the world. The most detailed accounts come, as we would expect, from countries nearest to Ararat, where the Ark landed (Genesis 8:4). Other versions turn up in Persia (modern Iraq and Iran) , India, Burma, Indonesia, Sarawak, New Guina, Tahiti, Hawaii, China, Japan, Siberia, Australia (among the aborigines), and New Zealand (Maoris), Alaska (Eskimos), North America (Red Indians), South America, Egypt, Sudan, Nigeria, Congo, South Africa, Greece, Iceland, Lithuania, Finland, Lapland, Wales and Ireland. This agrees with Genesis 9:19: “These are the three sons of Noah, and, and of them was the whole earth overspread” ( or the populated). Of course, now the Bible has come to all these countries , but the “legends” were independent of the Bible, passed down over centuries in scores of tribal languages , and understandably corrupted and distorted in details of the original biblical account. Some details are very interesting. For example, Lxtlilxochitl , the native historian of the Aztecs, says that the world lasted 1716 days before it was destroyed by a flood (This figure is only 60 years different from the 1656 years which the Bible gives us by addition of the ages in Genesis 5--taking into consideration the overlapping of each subsequent generation by birth. The Chinese character (symbol) for a large ship is a combination of a figure 8 and the symbols for “mouths” or “persons” (recall Noah +Shem + Japheth + their wives = 8 “persons” aboard the Ark ). The Hottentots of South Africa believed they are descended from “Noh” , and the Hawaiians report a flood which only “Nu-u and his family were saved. I could mention many more that give details that parallel the biblical account, though clearly distorted and corrupted over generations of time.
Liberals often claim that the Gilgamesh epic was embellished from a severe river flood, i.e. a local flood. This might work if there were similar flood legends only around the ancient near east. But there are thousands of such flood legends all around the world. Even the Australian Aborigines have legends of a massive flood, as do people living in the deep jungles near the Amazon River in South America. Dr Alexandra Aikhenvald, a world expert on the languages of that region, said: ‘… without their language and its structure, people are rootless. In recording it you are also getting down the stories and folklore. If those are lost a huge part of a people’s history goes. These stories often have a common root that speaks of a real event, not just a myth. For example, every Amazonian society ever studied has a legend about a great flood".
This makes perfect sense if there were a real global Flood as Genesis teaches, and all people groups came from survivors who kept memories of this cataclysm.

Do you know when Noah was born? Remember they measured time differently back then; they did not have the Gregorian calendar we use today. We also don't know when the stories in Genesis were first written down. As you implied, they were first oral accounts passed down through the generations. But the main idea of the story is preserved - God's love for His creation and His choice to give them another chance because of that love.

Was the biblical account of the flood the greatest act of genocide of all time?
Relative to the total population of the (supposed) period, undoubtedly. For a god who could (also supposedly) create everything without so much as clicking his fingers, it was also an extremely cumbersome - and above all supremely cruel - method of exterminating everything and eveyone.
You would rather have people whose only thoughts were evil all the time running the planet and indoctrinating their children with their attitude for all time?
God removed the corrupt and evil people. He was disappointed in His creation so much that He started over. Guess what? We are doing it again now; the evil corrupt people are being taken down. Because if they aren't they will corrupt the world further. Which side are you on?
@@user-ex4wx1rj7s If you're going to assume what happened in the Bible is true you should also assume the why it happened is also true. The people that died were not nice people. Just like many barbaric cultures that have existed more recently like Native American ones. Aztecs, Mayans and many others sacrificed children. What happened in the ancient cultures that god punished is supposedly even worse.

There have been many floods around the world over time
You can find fossilized sea creatures in the middle of south dakota
There are also fossilized marine organisms on top of Mt. Everest, showing it was also once underwater, though before God "lifted up" the mountains to their current height (Psa. 104:8).
You said the magic word..... strata. Not one layer of sediment with all the dead animals in it.... but many layers of sediment with different types of dead animals in them, and the lowest sediment layers have animals that didn't exist at the time of the so called Noah's flood. In fact some fossils are as little as a few thousand years old, while others are many, many millions of years old. There are NO human fossils buried in the same layers as dinosaurs, and there are some layers with only sea creature fossils in them.
Your explanation amounts to: The Bible says so, and I believe it. Ken Ham is willfully ignorant.

Thank-you Ken, for adding your voice to the thousands of scientists, archaeologists, and geologists who have been forced to admit the facts and truths about fossils, the sedimentary layers indicative of a powerful flood moving huge amounts of mud and rock and burying many different species of animals in the same layer! Sea animals, fish, and land animals all on the same grave! Only a powerful flood beyond local proportions could explain this.
But by the way, there was a documentary put out in about 1976 that showed videographic and real "gopher wood" hand hewn planks (from the Querkas Oak tree species prevelant in the area; don't know if I'm spelling that right, sorry!) recovered from many expeditions to the Ararat mountains from the 40's thru the late 60's when the Turkish government permitted expeditions to the mountains. NASA and satellite imagery has captured the Ark on multiple occasions, and Air Force pilots from Britain photographed and recorded their seeing the prow of a large ship protruding out from a crevice at high elevation. It was found that during the Armenian earthquake in the late 1800's I think it was; that the Ark broke into 2 pieces and was covered in ice at the high section; and at the lower elevation, it can be seen in the summer months.
Numerous eyewitness accounts exist detailing the expeditions to Mt. Ararat, and describing the physical measurements and shape of the boat; exactly mirroring the Bible's description of how God wanted Noah to construct the vessel! Unfortunately, these expeditions have been swept under the rug of science in order to perpetuate atheism and the evolution paradigm. Also, the Russian government stepped in in the 80's and stopped allowing all expeditions to the mountain areas. so there's political opposition to those who want to climb the mountain areas; preventing current testimony and evidence from being collected.
I think I feel genuinely sad for you.... But I might change my mind 🙄.
There is a layer of iridium in the Earth from when asteroid struck the Earth. All dinosaurs are found under the layer, all modern mammals are found on top. The flood doesnt explain that.

I went to a museum in Hillsboro Texas a really small museum on fossils and you can learn more Scientific facts than you would if any at the Ark Encounter Museum becasue they teach the actual science that should be taught in schools.THE GLOBAL FLOOD NEVER HAPPEND!!
It sure is odd that there’s a disproportionate number of fossils laid down by water and not land, I wonder why? Is it because of a giant global flood that covered literally everywhere? Or could it be that water areas are just better at fossilizing than land?
The great flood. How about the great freeze? No mention of that?
Here's my question about God's Flood, if it really happened: What did that event actually accomplish? It did not stop evil As, ironically, the one who committed the first evil , according to Genesis, was Noah himself. Cursing his grandson into slavery for no reason at all. And he was God's chosen? So all the Flood did was kill everything accept a select family and select animals. Something to think about
I'll try to answer your question. First of all, there is a tipping point beyond which humanity cannot come back as far as evil is concerned. The entire world was so corrupt before the flood that it could only yield bad seed. In Noah's time, it was very close to that tipping point. God set up a test, 120 years, Noah preached of a flood to see who would believe God and who would not believe God. Who was going to believe his message? Those who did not get on the Ark, were destroyed and the human race was given a second chance through the genes of Noah's family. We are now approaching yet another critical tipping point and just like in Noah's day, God will give the world another test to see who serves God and who serves man. The test was simple but effective. Get on the ark and live or don't get on the ark and die.
As for Ham, we're not sure what Ham did to his father while he lay drunk and naked but it was inappropriate for him to mock his father to brothers instead of being respectful and doing like his brothers did. The curse wasn't from Noah. Noah was a prophet. He was relaying God's curse to Ham, the father of Canaan. The Canaanites were known for their debauched and perverted sexual practices. Honoring your father and mother is one of the big Ten. Ham broke that commandment.
@@danielcristancho3524 Wrong Noah was not a prophet. It was his fault for exposing his shame for all to see. Maybe Ham wasn't sure what to do so he tells his brothers. No mention or indication of malice or disrespect from Ham. But instead of punishing Ham, Noah put the curse on his grandson, who was innocent in this. The evil is on Noah for bringing conflict, resentment, and division in his own family. Nobody should be cursed into slavery. By this act of dishonor, Noah throws away any good reputation he had.
@@jstube36 That's noahs fault, not Gods. Just because the bible records evil deeds of people and events, that dosen't mean that it endorses it. The people in the earth was so wicked, that God had to wipe them out. I'd say that if He didn't, which He had every right to do by the way, then the world we live in right now would be very diffirent. Jesus came through the line of people in Isreal, God's chosen people. Well, they might not of been God's chosen people for very long if God didn't wipe out with a flood all those especially wicked people that might of convinced the isrealites to practice their evil deeds. How much harder it would have been for Isreal to follow God if the flood didn't happen.
The flood also serves as an example to us later generations as to how seriously God takes sin and evil. He's not going to let it go unpunished. Hope that makes sense.
@@timbro88 My question about the Flood, as told in Genesis, was about the purpose of it. Wickedness was punished but not wiped out entirely. By evidence of what Noah did. Putting the entire purpose of the Flood either in vain or at least highly questionable. And did God punish Noah for cursing his innocent grandson? Did he punish Jacob, a most despicable character, for selling out his own daughter? So apparently not all evil went unpunished. Or maybe God gives a pass to his "Chosen". And that was just Genesis.
How exactly did kangaroos get to the ark? Polar bears? Where did the extra billion or so cubic km of water come from, to raise sea level 2 km? Where did it go, after? Just curious...
Hey, good question. For the water, the bible says that the fountions of the great deep burst open. So there seems to be water that came up from below the earth, which is something that is talked about now days with regards to the hollow earth theroy. Once the flood ended, the water would've seeped back into the earth. Also it talks about the flood gates of heaven being opened and rain coming down. Perhaps God brought down rain from heaven to fill the earth.
You forgot about T-Rex, Titantasaur, Giganotosaurus, and all the thousands of other "kinds" of dinosaurs this guy claims was on the ark. According to him, the "kinds" on the ark morphed into all the species of dinosaurs that ever lived and then all died out in just 6000 years.
@@iriemon1796 I never forgot about them, because you never asked about them. But if you want to bring them up, can you show me where this guy says that all those different kinds were on the ark?
Pretty sure it was just two animals of every kind. So only two baby t-Rex’s. There’s no issue there at all.
@@iriemon1796 and when you say that they are morphed into different species, isn’t that pretty much what evolution is?
@@timbro88 Seems like you have a major problem with the hydrostatics then. You need to come up with two plausible world-wide forces, one acting on earthborne water to squeeze it out as part of the flood, and one acting 40 days later to force it to soak back into earth. The amount of earth required to soak up a 2-km high column of water, simply doesn't exist.
BTW "Hollow Earth" is not a viable theory. There is no place at all where significant underground voids could hide from seismometric measurements.
Any thoughts on how kangaroos made it across hundreds of miles of open ocean, then overland thru Burma, India etc. to the Middle East to get on the ark? And ofcourse the return journey...
Also a problem with God bringing water "down from heaven". Where exactly is "heaven"? If it's a place somewhere just "up there", why can't we see the water when we point a telescope "up"?
I don't mean to be attacking your beliefs, but i seriously question that God requires us to believe plainly impossible things.

There isn't enough water in the atmosphere to flood the earth. Yahweh did not need to destroy what he created if he had done a good job in the first place.
The Ark was not seaworthy, the land animals didn't swim across the ocean to reach the Ark, there was no food left for the animals to eat after after the flood waters subsided.

Scripture says that death came through a man (Adam) so we can't have death of animals and humans before the Fall. Nor for the same reason can we have thorns and thistles in the fossil record pre-Adam. Nor does the claim of evolution that we descended from apes match up with being made from dirt for Adam and from Adam's rib for Eve.

The timing of the Flood is the problem. In 2350 BC the Giza pyramids were already standing for 200 years. The evidence through Egypt for a flood at the turn of the 5th and 6th Dynasties is there for objective researchers everywhere. There is also a vessel from before the Flood, which was buried near the Great Pyramid (one of two in fact). It was built BEFORE Noah’s Ark as a funerary boat for Pharaoh Khufu. It is on display today. Simply put, the ‘world’ of Noah and the patriarchs who lived at that time was limited. They described the local scene. The flood is now known from the scientific evidence to have been global flooding, but did not cover the entire earth to depth. It was massive flooding, but in a way we would understand it, with typhoons in Asia and tornadoes in the West.
So how many different animals were on Earth then? How big would a ship have to be to get 2 of each animal on Earth on it now? I'd say it would be impossible to build one big enough
Scientists actually did the calculations in the 90s. The boat was big enough and had room for food. There were two of each type of animal. Not each subset of each type.
George Hergopian (i spelled wrong) saw the old Ark around 1906 as a kid. He saw it again a year or two later. He was with his uncle going up Mt Ararat in the summer and a big part of the Ark was seen as the ice and snow melted in some area. Others have seen the ark too! One guy saw it later on around 1950 after WW2 and the ark was broken in two! See the "Unsolved Mysteries Noahs Ark", tv show from the 90s.
@@nooneyouknowhere6148 And how did all the animals get there?
The fossil record does contain a large population of extinct animals. Thank God that He eliminated the dinosaurs!
It’s not 2 of every single animal on the earth. It’s 2 of each kind, that’s a big difference. Meaning you don’t take two of every type of dog. You would take 2 of the original dog kind that all of the dogs we have today came from. When they do the analysis it becomes very doable.

What's amazing is how the flood sorted the animals by species instead of by size or density. Almost like it happened over billions of years instead of 40 days.
I think the sorting was more by habitat.

From a practical standpoint I just don't see how all those animals could have fit on a ship that size. All the animals of the world, their feed(meat for some, bamboo for others, fish for others, grasshoppers for others, hay, some animals will only eat live food, etc), manure disposal, different climate needs, etc was all possible on the ark. Also with so few people to manage it all? I don't see how it's possible. Just the number of species alone would not fit on the ark. Not even close. How do believers get past these issues??

@@PatTheChurchGirl LOL!
Your questions have been answered so many times. Apparently, you are one of those types who needs to be spoon fed. Pay attention. No where in any work of literature is it stated that ALL the animals were brought on board the ark. ALL the animals of the world were not on the ark. Only a pair of representative kinds that could not have survived the year-long flood were brought onto the ark. According to some very smart people who have looked into the numbers, only several thousand animals at most were on the ark. This number of animals could certainly have been adequately cared for by eight healthy adults. You are incorrectly assuming that diets then were identical to what they are today. According to the biblical text, people and animals lived entirely on a pant based diet at the time. Yes, even lions can live just fine for a long time on a plant based diet. There is at least one modern day example of this. You are wrongly assuming that some animals "required" special diets. Obviously they didn't since all the animals on the ark survived. Obviously, the dietary changes that have taken place in the post-flood animal kingdom has come about by a gradual instinctual adaptation to available food sources as animals migrated from the ark and finally settled into their specific environments. According to the biblical text, animal meat was added to the menu options after the flood ended. There is not a single word mentioned about how Noah and his family handled matters onboard the ark. We can only speculate. What they did obviously worked, since all the animals that boarded the ark, disembarked from the ark alive and well. It would certainly be fascinating to know the details about what happened on board the ark after the door of the ark was shut, but we don't. Obviously then, we can only conclude that these details of the flood event are not necessary to get across the point of recording it in the first pace. You are missing the big picture by getting hung up on details that are not important. The biblical flood is recorded to let readers know with profound clarity, our Creator's attitude toward the wicked. We learn that our Creator will pour His divine wrath out upon everyone who has corrupted his perfect creation by choosing the side of wickedness. This applies to everyone. This applies to you. You are just as wicked as those whose lives our Creator ended 4650 during the global flood. Just like all those souls, you too deserve the wrath of our Creator to fall upon you. But, our Creator is giving us/you time to believe Him, just like He gave the people that died during the biblical flood. Our Creator wanted to save them but they refused His offer. All they had to do was believe Him to be saved. Only eight people were smart enough to do so. All we have to do is believe our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ and we will be saved from His divine wrath being poured out against the wicked, as well. It will not be a global flood next time though. It will be more personal for us. You will meet the Lord Jesus Christ one day face-to-face and if you have not believed the Lord Jesus Christ before that time, He will throw you into a Lake of Fire where you will be left alone to suffer unimaginable torment forevermore. This action is not because the Lord Jesus Christ is cruel or vengeful, but only because He is absolutely just and you are absolutely guilty of corrupting His creation by choosing the side of wickedness and you absolutely deserve the punishment you are going to experience. So, instead of concerning yourself with how Noah removed animal manure from the ark, open the Bible and concern yourself with figuring out what the Lord Jesus Christ, wants you to know about Him and your need to be saved from the penalty of your sins before it is too late.
@@St-uv5bc I think you have just revealed the answer as to where all the manure went.
@@PatTheChurchGirl The Ark encounter proves that you can fit a certain number of plastic animals into a large box, propped up with concrete and pillars, hundreds of miles from any ocean. Or perhaps I am being unfair... They could be fibreglass animals.
Bigger question than was there a flood? Or was there an ark? Or even was there a Noah?
The REAL question is:
Why did Noah save the mosquito??
Actually, I find the biggest question is: why is there still sin in the world if the purpose flood was to eliminate sin in the world?
@@darkeyez1630People were givem free will and chose to sin. Much like today.
It doesn't say why creatures now dangerous were saved, but mosquito wasn't likely among them, per AiG/etc. They don't think bugs were on the ark. (Or not all of them, some for food but beside the point.) Don't forget the Fall.
@@darkeyez1630 It says nothing about eliminating sin.
@@JamesMorton-hf3xb my question is directed towards the reason for the flood, nothing more than an exercise in futility.
As for the question of free will, as far as the concept of sin is concerned, pure nonsense. We aren’t given a choice. We are laden with the burden and punishment Adams sin.
We can't find the Ark because it never existed.
Pooh-pooh is a logical fallacy.
It is very unlikely to find a vessel that size on the earth especially if it was exposed to the elements.
You can’t find the Mayflower either. Anything built of any type of wood even after a few hundred years would deteriorate due to exposure of the elements.
