Episode Details

Genesis seven tells us that during the flood of Noah’s day, the water covered all the high hills to a depth of over twenty feet. Now, some people argue the flood was just local to the Mesopotamian valley. But how could a local flood cover all the mountains in twenty feet of water?

Water seeks its own level; it won’t cover all the hills in one area without spilling into other areas. And, besides, the flood lasted over a year. No small, regional flood has ever lasted that long! You can’t claim the Bible teaches a local flood without completely ignoring what the text says.

The flood—it was global!
