I think people don't
believe in the flood today

because they don't have access
to the accurate information

and evidences that are there.

They are simply captive

to entertainment, social media.

There you have
movies like "Noah"

that in a very
fictional and nonsensical way

distorts the Bible totally,

and for many people,
that's the only source they have

for something they think
is a biblical account.

And we have, of course,

the whole embedded
presupposition of evolution

and the geologic
column and all of these things

which tell students
as they come along

that the Earth has
existed for millions,

if not billions of years,

that man is a product
simply of natural succession.

A flood is a supernatural event.

A flood is a divine judgment.

A flood destroyed mankind.

And they're not told

that there are
evidences of these things.

They aren't shown
the historicity of Genesis

to say that this
holds up very well

in terms of our scientific age.

So it's simply,
you know, on the one hand,

a lack of information,

- and then on the other hand...
- The fear of man.

For the same reason that they
don't believe in a lot of the things

that the Bible
says are literally true,

literally history,
and literally science.

The fear of looking silly

and the intimidation by people

who host science television
shows and wear white lab coats.

I think it's really

that they're afraid of
appearing silly in any way.

But when you actually
go past the surface

and look at the feasibility
of it and the historicity of it,

it's almost
inescapably plausible.

Conventional scientists,
the secular scientists

think that the present
is the key to the past.

The Bible, in fact, tells us

that the past is
the key to the present,

and the flood is
key to understanding

why the world is
the way it is today.

Not just the geology,
but even the humanity.

Understanding the ark
and the flood is very relevant

to understanding why
the world is the way it is today

and how we got to be here.

Everyone is
interested in their history,

and the flood is key
to understanding our roots.

In the early 19th century,

when the idea of
millions of years was developed,

it developed as a result
of a conscious rejection

of the flood and
the biblical chronology.

Most of the church
came to the conclusion

that the flood wasn't global,

it wasn't really
geologically significant,

the age of
the Earth doesn't matter,

and so over
the next 100-150 years,

the flood was
just kind of forgotten.

And it still,
in large measure today,

is ignored by most Christians.

They just never think
of it and its relationship

to the question of
the age of the Earth,

but it's critically important.

We can go back and we can see

in the fossil record,
for example, what happened.

When we look at
the world around us,

we look at all of those
hundreds of rock layers,

they're sedimentary layers.

That means they were
laid down by water.

The flood was
a reminder that God judges sin,

and God said He's
gonna judge the world again.

He sent the flood
to punish evil at that time,

and that's why
God sent the flood.

It's important to punish evil.

- That's justice.
- Justice.

What is just?

The reason the ark is so
amazingly relevant to the flood

is because man's sin

- deserves judgment.
- Judgment.

The Bible clearly reveals that
we are now approaching the time

when the second
global judgment will come.

If we don't
understand or believe

in the first global judgment,

then we will not be ready
for the final global judgment.

So the consequences
of the next judgment

could not
possibly be more relevant.

What is at stake
is heaven or hell.

[edgy music]

[narrator] The Holy Bible.

A book inspired
and architected by God

and written by His people,

dating back to the beginning
of real human history

from the time of
man's true origins.

A book that teaches us

that the Earth is
not millions of years old,

as we've been
brought up to believe.

A book teaching us that we did
not come from monkeys or apes

or primordial soup.

But a book that instead
shows us our creator

is a loving,
merciful, and just God.

A God who created
a beautiful world

in which the entire
planet was once a paradise,

a paradise that He gave to us

to fill up and multiply across.

In Genesis, we're
shown that God had finished

all of creation
in six literal days,

and that, indeed,
everything he had created

was very, very good.

[stirring music]

[stirring music]

In the span of four days,

God was finished with
the heavens and the Earth.

And it was on the fifth day

that He began
making the sea creatures,

both great and small.

And on that very same day,

He also made all of
the exotic flying creatures,

which flew
through the open firmament

of the beautiful heaven.

On the sixth day,

He made all of
the majestic land creatures,

which included
all of the dinosaurs,

along with mankind.

He also planted a garden,

and in the midst of it,

the Tree of Life.

But there was another tree

God had also
placed in the garden,

one that God commanded man

not to eat from.

Sadly, mankind
used their free will

to sin against
their holy and righteous God.

With free will
comes consequences,

and in this case,
the consequences of sin

would plunge
mankind into darkness.

Before the Fall, God saw
everything that He had made,

and it was very good, tov meod.

It was just
the way it should have been.

It came forth
exactly as he intended.

At the end of Genesis 1,
it says it was very good.

"God looked at
everything He had made,

and it was very good."

And we get some
idea of how good it was

in the last three
verses when God says

that both man and the animals
and birds were vegetarian.

They didn't eat each other.

They ate the plants
and the fruit of the plants.

That's telling us a lot about
how very good the world was.

Creation was in
a state of innocence.

This affirms a fundamental
element of God's character.

He is good.

God is not
the author of evil or death.

God came into the garden,
He had fellowship with man,

and they could actually
communicate with Him and see Him,

according to the way we
understand the pre-Fall condition.

They would have lived forever.

God warned him beforehand,

"If you eat from this,
you're going to die."

Well, Adam did eat.

God told Adam,
"You're gonna die."

God said, "From dust you came,

and to dust you shall return,"

so that's physical death.

Through one man,
sin entered the world,

and death through sin.

Adam and Eve
began to die physically.

The fall of man
affected the whole creation.

The ground was cursed.

The whole creation is groaning

in bondage to corruption.

Sadly, the reality of the Fall

is now easily
seen wherever we look.

In this broken world,
we see pervasive death,

violence,
corruption, lies, hate, and sin.

Man is exiled from
the place of God's own presence,

and that fellowship
is not restored as it was.

Man is going to have to labor
by the sweat of his brow,

and then he will return to
the dust from which he was made.

That is what has
happened to the world.

So it describes entropy,

the whole idea that things
are subject to decay,

dissolution, finally death.

The whole world is like this.

It has a limited
shelf life, so to speak.

It changed the world profoundly.

Pretty much everything
was corrupted, the human soul.

Even the creatures were suddenly
carnivorous or poisonous.

Diseases and viruses emerged
that were otherwise benign.

It just radically
changed everything.

It even changed plants.

Plants suddenly became weeds

and choked out the crops.

The ground was cursed.

Thorns and
thistles began to grow.

We don't live in
the original very good creation.

We live in a fallen
creation, a cursed creation.

The Fall was
a massive, catastrophic,

world-changing event.

So everything was corrupted.

It was a tragedy on
the highest possible level.

Evil had to mature

before God
unleashed the first judgment.

[ethereal music]

[narrator] The Lord God
had made a beautiful world

in which everything
was once very good.

But when the first
man broke God's command,

man's domain was
plunged into sin and death,

which only grew worse
with the progression of time.

And it was not just
men who had been corrupted,

but all under man's dominion.

Animals became carnivores

and turned on
each other and man.

Where once the Earth had
been filled with God's goodness,

now was filled with
the celebration of evil

and endless violence.

Paradise, along
with man's innocence,

was now gone.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[narrator] The Lord Jesus
would tell us later

that just as in
the days of Noah,

so too would
the world become again

just before His return.

[ominous music]

[bell tolling]

[bell tolling]

[solemn music]

Most flood geologists point
out that the world, the Earth

had a more
global warm mild climate,

and the evolutionists
believe that too.

It's not just
because of continental drift

that we find pine tree
forests and dinosaur fossils

on Antarctica.

Not just
because those continents

were once in different places,

but because the Earth had a
warmer, milder, global climate,

heavier, lusher vegetation,

greener, thicker forests

that stretched
further towards the poles

and away from
the equatorial zones.

Right now, we just
don't have the kinds of forests

that could generate
the coal deposits that we have

or provided the vast source

for the carbon
that would have been necessary

for the coal
seams that we have today.

We would have had
to have had a lusher, warmer,

more forested,
more vegetated Earth.

Clearly, the amount of
vegetation in the pre-flood world

was far superior,

far more luxuriant.

Today's world is
a desert by comparison

to what the pre-flood
world would have been like,

a much gentler topography,
a much easier climate,

much more prolific
vegetation and animal life.

We have many
creatures in the fossil record

that are just like today,

but they were much larger.

So giantism in
the fossil record.

That indicates
that the pre-flood world

was much more
suitable for biological life.

Originally at least, it wouldn't have
had impassable mountain ranges.

It wouldn't have
had huge desert areas.

God created
the world to be inhabited.

Prior to the flood,
mankind had wrecked

their environment
to a large degree.

The Bible talks
about the wickedness of men.

In Genesis 6, it speaks of
"Every thought of man's heart

was only evil continually,"

and that the whole world was
filled with violence because of man.

To me, I think it would be
a very frightful place to live.

The intents and thoughts
of the human heart

were only evil continually.

The Earth was
filled with violence,

and all flesh had
corrupted its way on the Earth.

So it was excessive sin
and violence and wickedness,

and God said, "I'm
going to destroy the Earth."

The remnant Noah and his family,

they found grace in God's sight.

Apparently they were not
of those that were corrupted,

and God took
that remnant of mankind,

was able to preserve it.

But one of the things
people find interesting

is the lifespans of
humans before the flood.

And Noah was 600 years old,

and after he got off the ark,
he lived 350 more years.

He was 950
years old when he died.

Now, his sons
that got off the ark

didn't live
that long themselves,

but they lived into their 500s.

And then the next generation
and the next generation,

the 400s, the 300s.

We are getting
to Terah, Abraham's father,

living into his 200s.

Abraham lived to be 175.

And it was an exponential
decay in the lifespans.

Adam and Eve had no mutations.

The first 10
patriarchs before the flood

had very low mutation rates,

and so they were all
living to be about the same age.

Something happened
at the time of the flood,

and that's when this
incredible degeneration

of humanity happened.

There was this
incredible decline in longevity.

When you plot
the data, it's astounding.

Because the data, which is
straight out of the Bible,

and you wouldn't expect
scientific data in the Bible,

but the data
follows a strict decay curve,

and it's stunning.

[cautious music]

[narrator] In the Bible, we are
told that before the flood,

men lived to be
nearly a thousand years old.

The average age
of men at the time

was so staggeringly
high compared to today

that some have a difficult time

comprehending how such
longevity was even possible.

Yet, a major clue
lies within the ages

given to us in
the book of Genesis.

In almost computer-like fashion,
the book of Genesis reveals

that the post-flood lifespans

of the genealogical line of Adam

following mathematical concepts
known as exponential decay.

Meaning that if
you were to graph the lifespans

of all of
the men after the flood,

you don't see a linear
line gradually sloping down,

as you would likely
see if the ages were made up,

but instead, what you see is
an exponentially decaying curve

with minor variations
since no two people are alike.

Would the men who recorded
these ages through history

really have conspired
together to create data

that follows
an exponential decay curve?

Instead, what we see resembles
exactly the type of data

we would expect in the aftermath
of a worldwide flood,

revealing a steep
initial drop-off of lifespans

just after the flood

due to the catastrophic
environmental changes.

No more access
to nutrient-dense foods

from the world that was lost

and genetic mutations
that were not before present.

The truth is that no one

at the time of
recording these metrics

would even think to plot them
in an exponential decay curve

if they were making a fiction.

This sophisticated decay
curve is actually the result

of a real and
easily provable flood event.

[pensive music]

The objections to Noah's flood

are mostly ridicule

and laugh out louds.

The only serious
things are maybe trying to say,

"Well, where did the water go?

Where did the water come from?"

And then lampooning Noah's Ark.

There was
a Discover Channel special

called "Noah's Ark:
The True Story,"

where they showed
actors portraying

the traditional biblical version
of the story of Noah's Ark,

and then
they showed you the true story.

And Noah was dressed in
a tunic, was bare-chested,

had a shaved head,
looked like an Egyptian,

and Noah's Ark was a beer barge.

I'm not kidding, look it up.

Discover Channel,
"Noah's Ark: The True Story?"

How do they know that?

Asserting that that's
what the real story was,

and then watched
it fall apart into pieces

as it, of course,
was structurally not sound,

ridiculing
the structure of the ark.

When I was a masters student
at Ohio State University,

I looked at the geometry

of the cross-section

and of the length

of just the straightforward
reading of the Bible.

And I found out
that it's dynamically stable,

90 degrees in pitch mode

and 90 degrees in yaw mode,

meaning it'll go all up to
90 degrees and it'll come back.

It's stable.

Not that that wouldn't
have caused problems

for the people and
the animals in the ark

if it had been tilted that much,

but that does
show the stability.

Certainly whatever they could
have taken in the turbulence,

the ark could
have taken structurally.

This is a 200-scale ark, and
I put it in my swimming pool,

and we put a measurement device
on here that was one inch,

and so we were
able to scale the waves.

And do you know that it scaled
to 500-foot waves,

and it was still stable.

Never turned over, 500 foot.

A tsunami, by the way,
is about a hundred feet.

So, it lets you know about
the dynamic stability of this.

Most of biology
didn't need to be on the ark.

Most plants didn't
need to be on the ark.

Most insects didn't
need to be on the ark.

Only the creatures
that have breath in their lungs.

Most of
the species live in the ocean,

which do just fine in a flood.

So the Bible doesn't
say that Noah was to take

two of every
species onto the ark.

He was to take
two of every kind,

the same word
that's used in Genesis 1

that talks about God
creating different kinds

of plants and animals
to reproduce after their kind.

And so we think there were
maybe only about 1,400 kinds

and about 7,000
animals on the ark.

Average size, maybe
a large sheep or a small cow,

but most creatures
much smaller than that.

We're not talking
about, for example,

two Great Danes,
two German Shepherds,

two wolves, two coyotes.

He took two of
the dog kind on the ark,

and we know from modern genetics

that there's
tremendous genetic variation

built into the DNA
for each kind of creature.

And so, creation
scientists have been studying,

well, what was the created kind

in comparison to our modern
classification system?

And they think
that in most cases,

it was equivalent to
approximately the family level.

The evolutionists
just exaggerate

because they focus on species.

[narrator]Evolutionists
often claim that

it would not be possible to fit
all of the species of life on Earth

onto a ship the size of the ark,

even when
factoring just how humongous

Noah's Ark actually was.

At roughly 50
feet high, 85 feet wide,

and more than 500 feet long,

the ark is
the largest wooden vessel

known to have been built by man,

with the USS Wyoming,

a gigantic wooden
schooner built in 1909,

coming in at
second at 450 feet long.

Yet regardless of size,
imagining how the ark

could fit 18 million species
of all life on Earth

is a rather elementary-level
way of understanding

the excellent
efficiency of the ark's economy.

The reality is
that the sea creatures,

insects, invertebrates,
and plant species

did not need to be
included on the ark.

You see, God instructed Noah

to only bring
the vertebrae land animals,

and when
you simplify those animals

to their genealogical class
structure found in Genesis,

which is known as a kind,

you can further
significantly reduce

the number of
animal kinds needed

down to around
roughly 1,400 kinds

or approximately
6,750 animals in total.

Of those animals,
you also don't need to bring

fully mature adults,

when smaller juveniles
would fit better, eat less,

waste less, and live longer

while reproducing
in the post-flood world.

With roughly 6,750
animals onboard the ark,

we can now also estimate

that approximately
1,400 cages were needed,

and when considering that only
20% of the ark's volume

was needed for food storage,

you can see that we have
plenty of room left over

for cages and infrastructure,

with the remaining area
able to fit the equivalent

of 483 semi-trailers
within its volume.

It's also no surprise

that the dimensions
God gave for the ark

turn out to be
optimal for stability.

In fact,
if we were to scale the ark up,

it appears
that modern cruise ships

have taken notes
from the ark's dimensions,

as you can see
striking similarities

in shapes and
proportions that they share.

As you can observe,
the influences of the ark

are alive and well today

and have
long-reaching implications

in virtually
every field of science,

including baraminology, botany,

hydrodynamics,
anthropology, and more.

But as compelling as
the science behind the ark is,

we must not
forget that it is God

who orchestrated the events.

It was God who decided the time
to judge the world had come.

And it was God
who was ultimately responsible

for the deliverance of
all who were aboard the ark.

[solemn music]

[solemn music]

[solemn music]

In the second book of Peter,

we are told
that in the last days

before Jesus Christ returns,

people would deliberately ignore
the evidence of the flood.

Or as the Bible puts it,

they would be
willingly ignorant of the flood.

Peter tells us
that in the last days,

men would mock the Bible

and the second
coming of Jesus Christ,

and instead, they would
walk after their own lusts,

just like
they did in Noah's day.

You see, just as Noah had faith

to carry out God's
command to build the ark

and just as Noah had faith

that God would bring
them through the flood,

so we too must have faith

that God was perfectly capable

of preserving Noah, his family,

and all of
the creatures aboard the ark.

Is it too difficult a thing

for the God who created the
universe and everything in it

to preserve
the life that he chooses?

Of course not.

So let us not be counted

among those who Peter prophesied

would ignore
the evidence of the flood,

since we are
indeed living near the end.

Instead, let us be named

among those who believe

in God and His word.

The Bible says that on the day

that the rains
of the flood began,

all of the animals
with the breath of life

were onboard the ark
with Noah and his family,

and it was God Himself
who would shut them all in

and save them from
the coming judgment.

The global nature of the flood

is given in the biblical text,

and it's quite clear,

especially going to the original
terms that are used.

Term for
the flood itself is mabbul.

The unique Hebrew word mabbul.

It's used only one other
place in the Old Testament.

That is in Psalm 29:10

where it says that God
"sat as King at the flood."

It's a very unique term
that sets this account apart

from other types of flood.

So this was a unique flood.

First we could talk
about the flood itself,

the purpose of the flood.

Contrary to what many think,

it was not simply
to destroy sinful man,

but also Genesis 6 tells us

to destroy all
the land animals and birds

not on the ark with Noah

and to destroy
the surface of the Earth,

and only a global flood
would accomplish that purpose.

Then we can talk about the ark.

The purpose of the ark
was not to save a few animals

so Noah could start
a farm after the flood.

It was, as Genesis 7:3 says,

"To keep offspring alive
on the face of all the Earth."

And then we have the repetition
of universal terms.

Everything that is
under the whole heaven,

under the whole Earth,

everything in
which is the breath of life.

Those words appear
sixty times in Genesis 6,

all, every, under heaven,

and when you have
a repetition of those words,

that is emphatic.

Secondly, we have
the duration of the flood,

370 days.

Why such an extensive
flood if it was only local?

Why that duration of the flood?
Why would it take so long

for it to recede and dry up?

There's no way a local flood
could last that long.

We have the depth of the flood.

It covered all
the high mountains

everywhere under the heavens,

and since water
seeks a level plane,

it would have
to be a global flood.

When the Scripture
says that the waters rose

to about 24 feet
above the mountains,

even if you give the idea

that the mountains were
not as high as they are now,

they were
upthrust after the flood,

you still have water
only rising to its own level.

If we had a local flood,

then obviously there's
no need to build an ark.

If the flood was
local in the Middle East,

the ark was totally unnecessary.

The animals didn't
need to go in there,

and He could have
told Noah and his family

to go on
a vacation to Europe or Egypt.

Noah and his family could
have walked to a safer place.

And then why an ark at all?

Why such a large ark?

Why all the animals?
Why the birds?

The birds could fly away.

Animals, there are animals
in other places after all

if it's a local flood.

Just this whole idea of
everything included in the ark

by the two of each kind

means you were trying to
preserve all of life at that point.

Only a global flood
fits the purpose of the ark.

Then we could
talk about the volume.

It was way too big if
it was just a local flood.

You also have
the very theological concept

that if you had men elsewhere

who were not part of
the judgment of the flood,

then the whole idea
of a judgment on mankind

for corruption of the Earth
would make no sense whatsoever.

God says, "I've
seen the wickedness of man

that's great on the Earth."

Not just in one local
place but on the Earth.

When we come
to the New Testament,

you have
a passage like 2 Peter 3:5-7.

It compares a flood that
destroyed the world that was

with a future
judgment on a coming world

or the world that now is.

If you had a local
judgment in the past,

you'd have to have
a local judgment in the future,

but, of course, this is the
second coming of Jesus Christ

to judge His world,

and it has to be universal.

Well, if the flood
was just a local event,

then what do you think?

Maybe when Jesus
returns, just a local event?

Oh, no, it's gonna be
a worldwide judgment as well.

And I would add one last thing,

and that is we can't
find the Garden of Eden.

People look at the description

of the geography where the
Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2.

The reason we can't
find the Garden of Eden

is because the pre-flood
world was completely destroyed.

It is now buried
under thousands of feet

of sedimentary deposits.

So the flood was
not a local flood.

[ominous music]

[narrator] The Bible tells us

that God looked
upon His creation,

"and behold,

it was all corrupt,

for all flesh had corrupted
his way upon the Earth."

shall die."

[edgy music]

Every non-flood
geologist on our planet

believes that the planet
Mars had a global flood.

Creationists do
believe, like the unbelievers,

like the secular
geologists believe,

Mars did have a flood.

We think it happened
the same time our flood did.

Maybe an asteroid storm

hitting the inner
planets, the rocky planets.

Here on our planet,
we're now currently covered

70% with water two miles deep,

and they can't buy
that we once had a flood?

It's very, very
easy for them to believe

that Mars had a global flood,

but for some
reason, they can't accept

there's plenty of
evidence that we've had a flood.

Where did all the water
come from for the flood?

I mean, where did it come
from and where did it go?

Well, look at the globe.

We're 3/4 covered with
water two miles deep now.

It's all still here.

The most asked questions are

where did the water
come from for the flood

and where did it go?

And the answer
is easily explained

in the model of
catastrophic plate tectonics.

The process of
catastrophic plate tectonics

is very similar
to conventional plate tectonics.

The main difference
is the speed or the rate

at which these processes unfold.

Today, the plates
are moving about

a few inches per year.

However, during the flood,

a billion times faster.

When the flood began,
it began with these fountains

on the bottom of the deep ocean.

Where the Bible even says,
"the fountains of the great deep

were opened up."

The mid-ocean ridge
is 44,000 miles long.

Most of it is underwater.

That's why they call
it the mid-ocean ridge.

And if it all
erupted at the same time,

it would have made
the ocean floor do this, wom,

and then, phooh, the mid-ocean
ridge would have erupted

all around the world
at the same time roughly,

but that first phase, wom,

would've caused sea level
to rise a mile, plou.

Then this tidal wave coming out

from that sudden rise at
the ocean floor in the middle

headed towards the continents.

Now that would have been
the phase one of the flood.

The second phase
of the flood, it says,

was when "the windows
of heaven were opened."

It's no accident

that there's an order
given there in the Scriptures.

"The fountains of
the deep broke open."

That is the crust breaking open,

the water shooting up,
the supersonic steam jets,

and carrying
that ocean water up.

Then it fell as
global torrential rainfall.

People all know that the flood

was 40 days and
40 nights of rain,

but the waters prevailed
upon the Earth for 150 days.

When "the fountains of
the great deep broke open,"

as the Bible describes,

that's the description
of the fracturing

of the pre-flood crust.

You've got molten material

that's expanding
as it solidifies.

The new ocean floor expanded.

That pushed up sea level.

That means that the ocean
floor is actually gonna rise.

The ocean waters rose
up to cover the continents.

The new ocean floor
cooled and it shrank,

and therefore, sea level fell,

and the ocean
waters drained off.

The floodwaters
are still present

on the Earth's surface today.

They went into
the new ocean basins

that were produced as
a consequence of the flood.

In fact, the Earth is
still 70% covered in water.

Yeah, the water's still here.

It's deep in those trenches.

Some of the trenches are 8;

now we find out 10 miles deep.

If we had lower land formations
and a higher ocean floor,

we would probably
be a water planet today

with no land surface.

And it's scraping
the bottom of the barrel

to try to say where
did all the water go.

It's still here and
it's very easy to explain

that the same water, mostly,
the same water that's here

would have been adequate to
have flooded the Earth at one time

and that the situation
has changed

so that water is
now in deeper basins.

Not a problem in
the flood model at all.

[narrator] We're all familiar

with the theory about Pangaea,

which holds that the continents
were once connected

to form a supercontinent
that later broke apart

through a process
called plate tectonics.

Catastrophic plate tectonics
is essentially the same idea

as conventional plate tectonics,

except that the timeline
and events

are all centered
around the year of the flood

instead of millions of
years of slow processes.

You may be surprised

to learn that it was
a man named Abraham Ortelius,

a famous
cartographer from the 1500s,

who first proposed the idea

that the flood of Noah
may have been responsible

for tearing apart the Americas
from Europe and Africa.

Hundreds of years later,

another Christian by the name
of Antonio Snider-Pellegrini

would first theorize

the modern concept
of continental drift,

in which he illustrated two maps

depicting
the continents of the world

as once joined together.

This was decades before
German geologist Alfred Wegener

would propose
his own version of the theory,

known today as Pangaea,

and be erroneously dubbed
the father of continental drift.

Antonio was snubbed
of this honorary title.

His crime was
citing the book of Genesis,

in which he said
he made the discovery

that at
the beginning of creation,

there is only one continent.

You see, the book of Genesis

laid out exactly
what happened to the Earth

in the past during the flood,

starting with
what the Bible calls

"the fountains of
the great deep opening."

It wouldn't be until the 1950s

that technology
initially developed

to detect submarines underwater

would stumble
across these gigantic scars

from the fountains of the great
deep that had split open

exactly as
the Bible had described.

How did a book
thousands of years old

know exactly what was at
the bottom of the ocean floor?

The Bible says that first

these giant
subterranean rifts broke open,

piercing the Earth's crust,

spewing magma
that created steam jets

that shot up into the sky.

Then the book of Genesis says

that the waters
poured down as torrential rain

through the windows of
heaven that were opened up

and that the rain
lasted 40 days and 40 nights.

The supercontinent that the book
of Genesis described

is now beginning to break apart.

At first, the newly partitioned
continents oscillate,

slamming into each other

before starting their ultimate
journey of separation.

This closes seaways and
forms volcanoes and mountains

in the Americas and Europe,

such as the Appalachian
and Caledonian ranges.

The seafloor spreads,
forming from molten magma,

widening the separation
between the new continents.

Scientists will later discover

that the seafloor at
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

is much younger
than the seafloor

in other parts of the world,

exactly as the Bible suggests.

As this newly
emerging volcanic floor spreads,

it subducts under
the west coast of North America,

binding and releasing,

causing massive tsunamis

carrying mud
mixed with sea creatures,

totally overwhelming the land.

As what's known as
the Conjugate Shatsky Rise

pushes up during the subduction,

the Rocky Mountains
also began to form,

along with
the Independence Dike Swarm,

a 400-mile long
volcanic region that billows ash

that covers half of America.

As the Western Interior Seaway
emerges during this time,

the last of
the dinosaurs are flooded,

mixed together with sea life,

and are buried
in mud, sand, and ash

in the middle of America.

As we near the end of the flood,
activity begins to cease

as the seafloor stops
spreading and begins to cool.

As the new massive
ocean floors cool and retract,

the waters reverse back
down into the new ocean basins

and recede as much as a mile.

All over the Earth, trillions
of fossils are left behind

as incredible evidence

of the worldwide
catastrophic flood.

The most compelling
evidence for a global flood

is the sediment record itself.

All over the Earth,
what's under your feet?

Hundreds of
distinct horizontal layers

generally with smooth
interfaces between the layers.

The only way that such a record

could have come into existence

is global-scale processes
producing the whole record

in a single global event.

All over the world,
the layers are flat,

and there's no
river channels in them.

Think about what
you see at the Grand Canyon.

You see these flat
pancakes, one on top of another,

just flat, flat, flat, flat.

They're basically erosionless.

Here's how they formed.

At the beginning of the flood,

there was
movements of the crust.

Crustal movements
actually cause earthquakes.

Earthquakes in
water cause tsunamis.

The tsunamis then
originating from the ocean areas

would then race
across the continents.

Once the tsunami lost its power,

the sediment would
settle down out of the water

and form a flat layer
at the bottom.

That's the first layer.

Then another earthquake

in a different part
of the world sets off a tsunami,

maybe a week
later, maybe a day later,

brings in a different sediment.

The tsunami runs out
of power in this area.

The sediments in
the water settle to the bottom

and form another flat layer.

There's no erosion.

Again, you have a third tsunami

bringing in these
sediments, third layer.

My simulations indicate

that these
tsunamis were large enough

for a single tsunami

to sweep all
the way across a continent.

These layers
were formed underwater.

That's why they were so
confusing to so many people.

It's fascinating
to see the evolution scientists

explain their dig sites.

For example,
at Dinosaur Provincial Park,

they have
10,000 dinosaurs buried

in this flat layer.

And you ask
the site paleontologist,

"Well, how did
these 10,000 dinosaurs

get in this flat layer?"

"Well, they died
in a river in flood."

"Oh, what was
the shape of the river bottom?"

"It was a flat river bottom."

So you're saying this
river that was so strong

that could bury 10,000
dinosaurs over five miles wide,

which would be a raging river,

wasn't strong enough
to cause an erosion channel?

Why isn't there a river
cut from this river channel?

Why isn't there
erosion from that river?

The answers make no sense

in light of this flat problem,
the erosionless problem.

What we see at the Grand Canyon

is that the layers got
bent at the edge of the plateau.

Because the folding was smooth

when the sediments
were still soft,

the whole sequence had to be
formed rapidly during the flood

and then bent at the end of
the flood while they were still wet,

and so these folds
are very strategic evidence

tying together all the layers,

and it emphatically demonstrates

that the millions
of years never happened.

Or the fact that you have

what are called
polystrate fossils.

They're usually trees that go
through more than one layer.

These trees have
three layers that are supposedly

30 million years
worth of rock around them.

You know that if
you start accumulating

sediment around the bottom,

that sediment would
eat away at the bark,

the bark would rot, and
the tree would die even sooner,

would fall over even
less than a hundred years.

But here we have trees,

vertical,
fossilized, with three layers.

In the worldwide
flood, trees were swept up,

and they were
floating on the top.

Now eventually,
the trees became waterlogged

and sank to the bottom.

Now trees
normally sink horizontal,

but some trees, as
discovered by Dr. Steve Austin,

when they sink,
they sink vertically.

If a tsunami wave comes,

and there was a lot of
tsunami waves during the flood,

and brings in sediment,

when the tsunami
wave loses power,

the sediment in the wave settles

into a flat layer at the bottom.

Maybe a week
later or a day later,

another tsunami wave comes
in from a different direction.

When the tsunami
wave loses its power,

the sediment begins to fall,

and now it forms a second
layer on top of the first

amongst this vertical
tree that hadn't fossilized yet.

Now if that tree could be buried

with 30 feet of
sediment in just, say, a week,

you could easily accumulate

the entire Grand Canyon
stacked layers in a year's time.

It is the explanation
that defeats the evolution time,

and it actually
defeats the theory of evolution.

This is the single most
important geological fact,

and nobody seems
to teach this in college

or in the evolution world.

[narrator] Evolutionists claim

that the Earth is
millions of years old,

and one of
their so-called proofs

are stratified rock layers found
within the geologic column.

Evolutionists
teach that each layer

represents millions
of years of rock formation

based upon
their uniformitarian view

that says you can make
assumptions about the past

based upon processes today.

But in doing so, you're assuming

that there were no catastrophic
events, like a global flood.

Evolutionists also ignore

the flood evidence contained
within these rock layers,

like sea creatures mixed
together with land creatures.

Just ask any coal miner.

Anywhere on Earth they dig,

they find countless sea
creatures

embedded into the rock.

You see, the Bible
refutes evolution theory,

stating that it has
only been roughly 6,000 years

since the beginning of creation,

giving the true account

of how the sedimentary
layers formed,

as sedimentary rock is
rock that is formed in water,

which is also incredible
testimony of a worldwide flood.

Given that the Earth's surface

is made up mostly of water-formed
sedimentary rock layers,

the fact that the layers
were actually formed in water

also explains why there is no
erosion found in between the layers,

as there would be if the layers
took millions of years to form.

Then there's the issue
of bended and folded rock,

which could only occur
if the layers were pliable

and soft at
the time of the bending,

which is exactly what
a global flood would cause.

The bent layers also prove
that their formation was rapid

with multiple layers forming
rapidly on top of each other

because the bottom layers

would still have
to be saturated with water

and didn't have
enough time to dry out.

As forces acted upon the layers,

they bent in
unison from top to bottom.

Claiming these layers folded
together over millions of years

while still forming

cannot explain what
geologists are observing.

Only underwater rapid burial
could explain these phenomena,

remembering
that sedimentary rock layers,

of which these are,

are formed in
water in the first place.

To further prove
that these rock layers

were formed
quickly and in the flood

is the fact that in countless
places around the world,

we find polystrate trees,

"poly" meaning many

and "strate" referring
to the multiple layers

that these trees
are running through.

If you understand anything

about how
organic matter decomposes,

you'll know that it's impossible

for trees to remain
intact for millions of years

while layers of dirt and
debris slowly piled around them

and rain and
moisture rot the wood out.

Instead, what the evidence shows

is that trees were swept
up in the flood and carried off,

and as they became
more waterlogged, they sank.

Some trees would sink uniformly

while other trees
contained more water saturation

in what was left
of their bottom roots.

These trees
would be bottom-heavy

and float down
to the floor but rest upright.

Tsunami waves
would carry in sediments

that would bury the trees
quickly in multiple layers.

In fact, geologists discovered

that the same sand from
the eastern side of America

had been
carried in tsunami waves

all the way to the west
side of the continent.

This explains
how the rock layers

contain fossils of sea creatures
mixed in with land plants,

and it also explains

why the trees are
missing their root systems,

and most importantly,
why the trees are found

running straight
through multiple rock layers

that evolutionists are claiming
are millions of years old.

Let's also not forget
that some of these layers

are the size of continents,

indicating that these
trees and rocks were laid down

in a single and
catastrophic event

and not local
floods at different times.

Today, we assume that fossils

are a normal part
of the cycle of life

since we see so many
of them all over the world.

Yet fossilization is
not what we observe at all

when something dies today.

Thankfully, dead
matter does not fossilize today

under normal conditions,

but instead,
God made dead matter

to break down and
return to the Earth.

The fact that we see
so many fossils indicates

that there was a worldwide event

that caused mass fossilization
of all life on Earth

at one point in time.

Think about it.

If the Earth today
is covered 71% in water,

water-formed
sedimentary rock layers

made up most of
the rock on Earth.

Inside those rock layers

are sea creatures
mixed in with land creatures.

Some of these sedimentary
layers span entire continents,

meaning they were formed
all together in one event.

Multiple layers are
bent and folded together,

proving rapid
burial events created them.

We find trees spanning
through multiple layers of rock,

and all over the globe,

we find massive
areas of erosion,

such as great
canyons carved out.

It is obvious that God
left all of this evidence behind

as a testimony
to the biblical flood.

The second
most powerful evidence

are the fossils that are
in these sedimentary layers.

To produce a fossil
requires, in most cases,

especially for
the larger kinds of organisms,

requires complete
burial and rapid burial,

and that automatically speaks
of catastrophic conditions.

So the fact that we find so
many fossils so well-preserved,

many of them with evidence

that the animals
were buried alive,

is another powerful
evidence for a flood cataclysm.

There's a lot
of fossils in museums.

In fact, the museums are full.

They don't want
any more fossils.

The basements are full.

Museums have
collected one billion fossils,

and scientists
suggest that in the rocks,

and you could find these,

there are trillions of fossils.

If you see an animal die
along the side of the road,

like a possum or a deer,

pretty soon that deer
or that possum is gone.

The bones
disintegrate, scavengers come,

the mice eat the bones,
the pelt falls apart.

10 years later,
it's just dust, there's nothing.

And yet there's
these trillion fossils.

Here's why
we have a trillion fossils.

There was this enormous flood.

It was a worldwide flood.

Tsunamis were racing
across, bringing in sediment,

and quickly
burying these animals.

As the flood receded,

all this ocean water
percolated back through the sand

that was covering the animals

and provided the minerals to
change the bones into fossils.

And that's how
you get trillions of fossils.

You have to have
a worldwide flood.

The one thing
we frequently observe

is that the fossils have
been exquisitely preserved.

What do I mean by that?

Well, we find all
the details preserved in place.

For example, fish
about to swallow another fish,

and it's been buried.

That tells
you it had to be very rapid

to preserve those details.

In another example,
we've got ichthyosaurs,

which are marine reptiles,

some of these
up to six feet long,

and they've been buried

in the process of
giving birth to a baby.

Another case of,
you know, 10-12-foot-long fish

with an undigested
fish in its stomach.

The details of wings of wasps.

The wings are open,

and the legs are
in the flight position.

What can we think about?
They were flying.

And those insects
were trying to escape.

They're trying to go somewhere,

but they just got
trapped with all the sediments

of the waters of the flood,

and that's why
we can study them.

All these details require

extremely rapid burial.

It fits exactly with what the
Bible says. It's consistent.

The destruction of
the flood was rapid, sudden,

catastrophic on a global scale,

preserving these creatures
sometimes in life positions,

caught in
the action of doing something

and the details
exquisitely preserved.

That's consistent with the
biblical record of the flood.

It may surprise you to learn

that all of
the rock layers of the world,

the named rock layers
like the Cambrian, the Jurassic,

all of the layers of the world
have saltwater creatures.

Huh, well, what
greater proof would you need

that this was
from a worldwide flood

that there's saltwater
creatures in all the layers?

Now this is in
the middle of the continents.

How did these
saltwater creatures get here?

It would have to be a flood.

Now the evolution
scientists have to explain

where these saltwater creatures
came from, how they got there.

You're saying, Mr.
Evolution Scientist,

that there's saltwater
creatures in all these layers,

and you're
saying the oceans rose,

covered the middle of the United
States, and went back down,

went back up,
went back down multiple times,

at least a dozen times.

Occam's Razor would say

it's more simple
to believe in one flood

than more than
a dozen worldwide floods.

It was in the 1980s

that the secular geologists
began to move to catastrophism

and move away
from uniformitarianism

as soon as
it suited their needs.

They went to catastrophism
when it served their purposes

to help explain
the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Noah's flood provides
a better explanation

for the demise of the dinosaurs
than the impact in Yucatan.

Simply because that event
is so small, so localized,

there's no way
it could have a physical effect

that would cause
the dinosaurs to be buried

the way we find them.

And nobody in the secular
world even claims that.

They say, "Well,
it produced climate change

that caused the dinosaurs
to starve to death."

If you go on Wikipedia today

and look up dinosaur
extinction or Chicxulub crater,

an asteroid sunk
and hit the Earth,

caused a global cooling because
of all the dust in the air,

and the dinosaurs
died out at that time.

We have simulations

where we've thrown
the Chicxulub-size meter

right on the Earth using
high-performance computing,

and then we get
the subduction event,

and we get
the breakup of the lithosphere,

and we start the earthquakes,
we start the volcanoes.

Actually meteoric impacts
could have initiated that event.

But it has no power
to explain the burial

of these huge animals
in the sediment record.

[introspective music]

[narrator] In the 1980s,

secular scientists
began to theorize

that it was an asteroid
that crashed into the Earth

and wiped out nearly
all of life on its surface.

The theory posits
that massive tsunamis

and volcanic dust-filled air

as a result of the impact

are what destroyed the dinosaurs
and most other life

in a worldwide disaster.

Secular scientists
could not escape the fact

that water and
volcanism played a massive role

in how life was
once wiped out on Earth.

But the Bible
had already written

that the Earth had been
catastrophically destroyed

through volcanism and water.

And they didn't want
to validate the Bible,

so they came up

with their own
catastrophic version of events,

i.e., the asteroid
impact theory.

You see, the Bible's book of
Genesis had already made clear

what happened in
the past in detail,

describing volcanic activity

bursting open
from the ocean floors,

chronicling when the volcanic
activity began and ceased,

how long the rain poured,

how high the waters reached,

as well as
giving the very reason

why God judged
and destroyed the world

with the flood
in the first place.

You are essentially
given two choices today.

On the one hand,

you have a book
written thousands of years ago

giving an amazingly detailed
account of a worldwide flood

that wiped out
virtually all life on Earth.

On the other hand,
you have manmade theories.

In this case, one
that was only first postulated

about 40 years ago

due to the inadequacy of their
prior non-catastrophic models

that they know
really didn't work.

Both views require
a catastrophic event

with global implications,

but only one has
the power to actually explain

the stratification
of the Earth's surface

and the trillions of fossils,

along with cultures around
the world citing a global flood

in their historical
writings and legends,

while the other
merely rearranges elements

from the true account
to concoct its own story.

Think about it.

The Bible already said long ago

that the entire world's surface

was destroyed catastrophically.

They have no choice
but to make that same claim.

The Bible said
that the continents

were once
together in the beginning.

It looks like
they have to share that too.

Nearly all animal life on Earth

was wiped out
during the destruction,

a fact that they also
couldn't ignore.

Marine life was
scattered across the world.

The Bible says the waters went
above the highest mountains.

Secular scientists
formulated their own theories

as to how to explain
the marine fossils away.

The Earth's original environment
was permanently destroyed.

The pre-flood paradise was gone.

In the secular
model, they refer to this

as the prehistoric
world going extinct.

And let's not forget

that the flood set
the processes into motion

for much of
the world to be frozen over.

Hot oceans produce evaporations
and greater snowfall.

Volcanoes send volumes of
aerosols into the atmosphere,

blocking the sun.

Greater snowfall
with cooler summers

results in global ice sheets.

Evolutionists have called
these results of the flood

the Ice Age.

One of these is
constantly being proven true

as more and more evidence
is discovered over time,

while the other
was only invented

after the evidence
was unearthed.

And further still,
contained within the Bible,

is also the prediction
that all of this would happen.

In the second book of Peter,

we are told
that in the last days,

which is
the time fast approaching,

unbelievers would be
willingly ignorant of the flood,

meaning
that secular men and women

would consciously choose
to believe and create lies

that allow them
to push the catastrophic event

into the distant past,

so long ago and so far away,

it ceases to be
scientific history

and becomes scientific fantasy.

The irony can only
be described as biblical.

The Bible makes it clear that the
end times would be characterized

by increasing unbelief of
the biblical account of history

and the flood event itself.

Sadly, the religion of evolution
is one in which its priests

are constantly updating
their outdated theories,

while in the Bible,

we are given the final,
true, and unchanging account.

And as the evidence
is unearthed over time,

the biblical account
is always proven to be true.

[pensive music]

If you go to a museum today

and look at
the dinosaur displays,

you'll notice that the animals

look strange and unusual
with the dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a boa
constrictor at a museum display

wrapped around a T-Rex's leg?

No, but they have found
boa constrictors with dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a box turtle

at the feet of a stegosaurus?

No, but they found
box turtles with dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a T-Rex
with a duck flying over him?

No, but ducks have
been found with dinosaurs.

All seven
groups of animals today

have been found
with the dinosaurs,

and they look the same.

Museum displays don't show that.

So if they actually
put the animals they found

with the dinosaurs,

people would look at
those displays and say,

"Well, evolution
hasn't occurred.

It's just
the dinosaurs went extinct."

But scientists have
withheld the modern animals

from their dinosaur displays

to promote the idea
that evolution occurred.

You know,
the soft tissue analysis

in dinosaurs that's been recent

has been a little bit of
an enigma to those who believe

that the Earth and
universe is really old.

Mary Schweitzer in
the 1990s and the early 2000s

first found this, like,
elastic material in arteries.

Elastic material means, you pull it
and it reloads back to its original place.

Dinosaur soft tissue
is a very recent finding.

They don't want
it really getting out.

It's not in any
of the textbooks.

This lady
cracked open or cut open

one of the bones,

and you could
smell the putrefaction.

Dinosaur bones shouldn't
smell like they're dying

'cause they've been dead
for millions of years, right?

Well, little bit later,
Mark Armitage started looking

at the horn of the triceratops,

but he found bone
materials, tissue and bone,

the osteocytes that actually
you pull it and it had strains.

Strains are how
much you deform something.

It had up to almost 100% strain.

Muscle tissue in
the Santanaraptor fossil,

and it was like
dinosaur beef jerky

on the leg bone of a dinosaur.

It was the actual muscle.

And this Thescelosaurus
bone is the same thing.

We started looking
inside of this bone,

and we found, using
scanning electron microscopy,

that it had elastic
material, it had tissue.

You pull it apart,
and it goes back.

If this was mineralized

or it was
a fossil that became a rock,

you couldn't do this.

So it was never
mineralized, never petrified.

It was still elastic,
meaning it was still the tissue.

That means this thing is
not a hundred million years old.

The biblical account expects
to find some of that stuff.

So like what was it?
Bone marrow.

- Red blood cells.
- Cartilage.

- Collagen.
- The hemoglobin.

And muscle fiber proteins.

These things
shouldn't be able to last

but a hundred
thousand years tops,

but these things were
a hundred million years old.

Okay, 68 million years old,
but closer to a hundred million.

The amino acids
in the protein strands

would unbuckle and fall
apart into protein powder,

and there is no
explanation to this day,

nothing that makes any
decent scientific sense,

and it's just
been left as an anomaly.

Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed
Mary Schweitzer and some others

and then turned the attention
to the medullary layer.

They tried
to distract the attention

away from the red blood cells.

The medullary layer was there,

showing that the T-Rex
that this bone came from

was, at the time, carrying eggs.

That's really what
we call a shell game,

a smoke and mirrors game,

a dog and pony show

meant to distract away
from the elephant in the room,

which was there were proteins

in that T-Rex bone.

Now Mark Armitage, working
University of California,

did find soft tissue
inside of a triceratops horn,

and when he published
that finding, they fired him.

[laughs] So
they are willingly ignorant,

squelching the truth,

and this is
actually not science.

This is propaganda.

Now we're talking about thought
control and the mind police.

They wanted to fire him because they
felt that this was a religious position

when really he had only brought
forth a scientific discovery.

[narrator] In 1993,
a film titled "Jurassic Park"

featured a rather famous scene

in which the remains of an
ancient mosquito were preserved,

encased in
a ball of hardened amber.

The film goes on to explain

that the way
scientists could resurrect

the dinosaurs from the past

was by extracting blood

from the remains
inside this mosquito,

in which dinosaur DNA
could be fully sequenced

by combining what was missing

with that of a modern-day frog.

This idea came about
because back in the '90s,

the writer Michael Crichton

was struggling
to come up with a concept

to explain how dinosaurs

could somehow be brought
back to life in a feasible way

in his book of the same title.

What the "Jurassic Park"
creators couldn't have imagined

was the discovery of soft tissue
inside of a dinosaur bone,

a finding that has
since been replicated

by other scientists,

such as this
stretching triceratops tissue

discovered by Mark Armitage.

These discoveries shocked

the entire
paleontological community

and would likely have rewritten

the original
"Jurassic Park" film

had they known this
was possible at the time.

In fact, scientists
have run into major challenges

when attempting
to publish these findings

because of
the wholesale rejection

that dinosaur soft
tissue could even still exist.

The consensus at the time agreed

that it was
completely impossible

because everyone held
to the widespread belief

that the bones were
millions of years old,

which would require
that all of their biomaterial

had long since fossilized.

There was simply no way

that these dinosaur
bones contained biomaterial

like blood vessels and
proteins such as collagen.

In fact, of these 16
types of bio-organic materials

that have since been discovered
inside dinosaur bones,

collagen by
itself ends the debate

on these bones being
millions of years old,

as the maximum age of collagen

is as low as 10,000
years by some estimates

and as high as
900,000 years by others,

with 100,000 years

being the generally
agreed upon maximum age.

To put this into perspective,

if each of these tiny bars

represents
a period of 100,000 years,

then only one of these bars

represents the maximum age
collagen could survive over time.

If we zoom out to the time
span of a hundred million years,

then we can see
that the lifespan of collagen

is 1,000 times shorter

than the general age evolutionists
claim dinosaur bones are.

Or another way to say it is

that collagen
doesn't even last. 001%

as long as it would have to

in order for
evolution theory to work,

proving that it's
not even remotely

within the realm of possibility

that collagen
could survive for so long.

The relatively short
shelf life of collagen

proves what
the Bible has been saying

about these bones all along,

that they're
roughly 4,400 years old

and were buried
all over the world

around the time of Noah's flood.

[dramatic music]

[narrator] As the floodwaters
began to recede,

the Earth was
in a state of chaos.

Dinosaur graveyards like these

would later be
found all over the Earth,

and secular
paleontologists agree

that these worldwide
sites share one thing in common.

The state the bones are found in

all show
evidence of flood burial.

And now you understand exactly
where the water came from,

water that would
eventually dry up

because it didn't
belong there in the first place.

The whole Earth would
undergo a massive reset

as vegetation
would slowly grow back

and water would find
its final resting places.

Sadly, the Earth that was once

a perfect habitat for dinosaurs

was now irrevocably ruined,

and those dinosaurs
that were able to survive

would be hunted
to extinction over time.

We know them as dinosaurs,

but legend would
remember them as dragons.

And so it was

that on the 17th
day of the 7th month,

"the ark rested upon
the mountains of Ararat."

It was a little over
a year after the flood began

that Noah, his family,
and all onboard the ark

would finally step
onto dry land again.

This group of eight people
would repopulate the Earth,

just as legends
around the world cite

in their historical literature.

And science would later prove

that this genetic
bottleneck really did occur,

exactly as the Bible
had told us all along.

In terms of looking
at the way ideas progress,

we know that history
can become more mythical.

Myth, as a core idea,
cannot become more historical.

It doesn't go the other way.

History can
become more historical.

Myth becomes more mythical.

And if you start with
myth, you end up with myth.

You can never go the other way.

So we can see, as
a genre, how different they are.

There's been about
200 flood traditions

discovered by anthropologists
and missionaries and others,

and many of these flood
traditions come from people groups

that don't even
live near the ocean.

There are hundreds of flood
legends from around the world,

but in many of these cases, you have
huge similarities to the biblical account.

You have one
righteous family that is saved,

and the reason for the flood
is because God was angry.

The gods were angry at something
that humanity had done.

They all talk about
man and animals surviving

on some kind of a boat.

There are lots of similarities,

but the true
account is in Genesis.

Some of the evidence of that

is just in
the description of the ark.

The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic

has a cube for the ark.

Well, that would
just roll in the water,

and everything would die.

The biblical account has a flood

that its duration is 371 days.

But when we come
to the Gilgamesh Epic,

it's merely six days.

It only took one week
to build this huge ark,

where it took
Noah probably 55 years

or something in
that range to construct his ark.

The biblical
account is the true account,

and these other
stories are the result

of people migrating from the
Tower of Babel after the flood

and preserving in their memory

an echo of the true account
that is recorded in Genesis.

And the farther they moved
away from the Middle East

and any contact
with the true account,

the more the story
got corrupted over time.

And so that explains
the differences

as well as the similarities.

The biblical account,
by all measure,

stands independent
from the others.

So they certainly had
a common core in history.

There was an event
that happened.

We've actually recorded
about 23 different accounts

that are very similar to Babel, where
people were trying to build this tower,

and the gods were
angry or God was angry

and forced them to scatter
by confusing their language.

And then from Genesis 12 onward,

we don't see
similarities anymore.

There's no Abraham legend.

There's no Isaac
legend or David legend

or anything like that.

But Genesis 1 through 11,

people all around the globe
seem to know about. Why?

Well, because what
the Bible's telling us is true,

and up until Genesis 11
at the Babel event,

mankind had a shared history.

And then they took that history
with them, and they passed it along,

and it gets
distorted as the years go by.

After the flood,
God blesses Noah and his sons,

tells him to be fruitful
and multiply, fill the Earth,

the same sort of thing
that he told Adam and Eve.

So, in a sense,
man gets to start over.

And yet what do we see
just a few generations later?

The people refuse to scatter.

They said "No, we're
gonna stay right here

in the Mesopotamian Valley,"

and they began to build a tower.

They had a one-world government.

Genesis 11 tells us that God
stopped that building project

by supernaturally
creating different languages

to force
the people to move apart,

according to their families,
into different nations.

People then who were
biologically, genetically very close

began to marry
within their language group.

And from what
we know of genetics,

that would bring out recessive
genes to become dominant

and physical characteristics
associated with that.

But the Bible is very clear.

There's only one
race, Adam's race.

Paul says that God
made from one man or one blood

"all the nations to dwell
upon the face of the Earth."

So there's absolutely no basis

for saying
that one group of people

with a certain
shade of brown skin

are superior or
inferior to some other people

who have a different
shade of brown skin.

We have no basis to hate people
that look different from us

because, in reality, everybody
looks different from me.

So if I were gonna hate people
that look different from me,

I'd have to hate everybody.

So we should be
loving and accepting

because we're all descended

from the same
couple, Adam and Eve.

Now the interesting thing
is that most evidence shows

that humanity
started in the Middle East,

which we'd expect if
the Tower of Babel was true.

All these languages
seem to have diverged

from about that region.

[ethereal music]

[narrator] As what
was now left of the ark

rested in
the mountains of Ararat,

God made a covenant with Noah,

promising him and
all of his posterity

that He would never
again destroy the Earth

and all life on it with a flood.

Then God
blessed Noah and his sons

and commanded them
to once again multiply

and spread out upon the Earth.

But on the plains of Shinar,
men disobeyed God's command,

and instead they came
together to build a city

and a great tower they intended
to reach to the heavens

in an ultimate act of rebellion

and rejection of God.

[ominous music]

But God came down

and put a stop to their tower

by dividing
their once unified language

into many languages.

And out of confusion and fear,

they stopped building the tower

and dispersed
into what would become

the nations of the world.

[pensive music]

It was within a few centuries

after Noah and
his family departed from the ark

that the people of
the world were of one language,

but today, there are over
7,000 languages in the world

which trace back
to an ancestral family group

that each belongs to.

For example, Italian
can be traced back to Latin,

its root language family.

However, when
linguists attempted

to trace the root language
families further upstream,

they encountered
a serious problem.

The language families would
eventually lead to dead ends,

otherwise known
as language isolates.

This directly contradicts
the merged root language

that evolutionists
were expecting to find

or what some
linguists theoretically call

the elusive
proto-world language.

Instead, what they find
are a bunch of languages

that seemed to have
emerged out of nowhere,

unless, of course, you factor
in the events that took place

at the Tower of Babel,

which provides
an incredible explanation

evolutionists refuse to accept.

Further still, consider

that when you trace
known languages on a map,

something very telling occurs.

Many of the earliest
languages trace back

to one location on Earth,

a place commonly referred to as
the cradle of civilization,

Mesopotamia.

And what's also revealing

is that the timeframe
of many languages

also trace back to that
approximate point in time,

which is just after
the flood and Tower of Babel

in the third millennium BC.

Furthermore, linguists believe

that approximately 94
proto-language families

should exist in theory,

and they also believe that this
number may lower over time

as more research
leads to more mergers.

By no coincidence, there are
approximately 70 people groups

in the biblical table of nations

recorded in the Bible around
the time of the Babel event.

What are the odds that the
estimated root language families

so closely reflect
the same number of the nations

the Bible lists at
the time of the Tower of Babel?

And what's more is
that these people groups

also have myths and
legends within their cultures

of both an ancient
flood that destroyed the world

and a time when their ancestors
attempted to build a tower.

These stories, of course, vary,

but the core
elements tend to remain intact,

with the Cherokee and
other Native American tribes

even including that
their language was once changed

much earlier in history,

as only one example of hundreds.

In like fashion,
human genetics also reveal

a similar
pattern to the languages,

as the genes extracted
from over 100 human remains

from the so-called
Bronze Age era revealed

that the further
back in time you go,

the less
genetic mixing there was,

with their data showing
relatively unmixed genetic lineages

around the time of Babel,

which, of course,
is no coincidence.

Only God's supernatural
intervention can explain

the multifaceted
bottleneck we see

across so many
fields of science.

It was at this
event that God changed

the entire course of
human history once again.

It was also after Babel

that God
instituted human government.

And at a time when
nationalism is being attacked

by those wishing to establish
a one-world government,

it is important to remember

that it was God who divided
the world into nations.

It was God who was against
the man-centered godless society

mankind was
beginning to fashion.

And as any
historian will tell you,

history has a way
of repeating itself.

When we come
to the story of Noah's Ark,

it's more than just a story.

It certainly is
a part of vital history.

There was an ancient world,

and that ancient
world, because of corruption,

was destroyed by a flood.

And that was the judgment
that was on mankind.

Since man is not changed,

there is yet
a future judgment coming.

It'll be just as
it was in the days of Noah.

They'll be giving
and taking in marriage.

They were having families.
They were doing their work.

They were just
living life as normal.

They didn't believe
the judgment was coming.

The flood did come,
and people were not ready.

Before the flood,
people were eating and drinking

and married and
given in marriage,

with a total disregard
to the building of the ark,

to what was being preached to
them, to all the things around them.

And Jesus says
just before He returns,

people will be in
rebellion, ignoring God,

just going on living their life
as if God doesn't exist.

They will be surprised when
Jesus comes and brings judgment.

There was
a judgment that happened,

and there's a judgment
that is coming,

and we need to be prepared.

The Bible does talk about

the last days, the end times.

Biblical evil, if you look

at all of the different
Old Testament accounts,

would be idolatry, witchcraft,

the occultism, demon
worship, and things like that

and the perversions
that go along with these things.

Public schools now

are teaching
against the idea of marriage.

They want to corrupt
the minds of innocent hearts

long before they've
even thought about sex,

at the earliest possible age.
Not just sexualized,

but sexualized in terms of
all possible forms of deviation.

Of course, we have
the plague of abortion,

the sins of Moloch,

the burning of children,

the plague of sex trafficking,

and the exploitation
of the vulnerable.

These things are the evils
and the darknesses of our age,

and they're
become more prevalent

and even
massively institutionalized.

It's a very good sign.

Not a good sign,
but an accurate sign

that we're in
the same kind of darkness

that was in the days of Noah.

And you see that we are
in that darkness now.

When's the Lord coming back?

The Bible says
that nobody knows,

but when it comes, everyone's
gonna know all at once,

like lightning across the sky.

And I tell you,
I want to be on the right side.

Who doesn't like being on
the winning team at the end?

I know in this
case, it's especially vital

in the eternity sense.

Eternity is a timeless thing.

We don't understand infinity,

but we do know it's permanent.

The second coming is
a wonderful, wonderful image,

but it's also
a time of judgment.

It's also a time of finality.

It's also a time of justice.

Just as the flood came suddenly,

so the second coming
of Christ will be sudden.

Just as the flood was certain,

so the second
coming of Christ is certain

and will actually happen.

That judgment of
the flood is a warning

of the judgment to come.

[suspenseful music]

[narrator] Jesus Christ
is the most written of

and influential person
in all of world history.

But what has made so
many throughout the millennia

believe that He is
who He says He was,

God in human flesh,

the Savior of mankind,

the Messiah who was
prophesied of in the Bible?

You see, the Bible
is the only book on Earth

that has repeatedly
proved its inspiration of God

by virtue of telling
us the future in advance.

For example, around 626 BC,

Jeremiah the prophet predicted
Israel would be conquered,

Jerusalem and
the temple would be destroyed,

and the Babylonians
would rule over God's people,

taking them captive
into exile for 70 years.

And shortly after
his prophecy was written,

that's exactly what
happened around 587 BC.

Then there's Isaiah

who wrote that Babylon's
gates would open for Cyrus,

a king who wouldn't be
born for over 150 years.

And in 539 BC,

the formidable city's
gates were indeed opened

to a king named
Cyrus and his army.

And, as foretold,
Babylon was destroyed,

which both Jeremiah and
Isaiah prophesied would happen.

And then there's
the famous prophecy of Daniel

in which he predicted
the appearance of the Messiah,

claiming that He would come

483 years after a decree would
be made to rebuild Jerusalem,

which is exactly the time
in which Jesus appeared.

And when it comes
to Jesus fulfilling prophecies,

there are hundreds
concerning Him alone.

Scripture said that the Messiah
would be born in Bethlehem,

that the Christ
would live in Galilee.

He would teach parables,
be rejected by the rulers,

be betrayed for
30 pieces of silver.

And it was even prophesied
that He would be crucified,

not stoned to death,

at a time when crucifixion
hadn't even yet been invented.

Furthermore, there are other
prophecies much like Daniel's

that also tell us
the timeline of the Messiah.

His birth had to happen

before the scepter
of Judah departed,

while the temple
was still standing,

but before
it would be destroyed.

And very notably, He had to come

while genealogical
records still existed

to prove His lineage
was of the line of David.

Those records perished

when the temple
was destroyed in 70 AD.

Strikingly,
Jesus Christ walked the Earth

during exactly
the critical period

when a multitude of prophecies
about the Messiah converged.

You see, Jesus warned
us that in the last days,

the time we are
now on the threshold of,

there would come a false messiah

who would deceive
many into believing

that he is
the one prophesied about.

Scripture refers to this
false messiah as the antichrist.

The Bible says

that during this short
period of time soon to come,

the antichrist and
his system of governance

will rise to power.

Much like what
happened at the Tower of Babel,

this singular entity will rule

with nationalism in
many places being abolished

as their sovereignty
will collapse

into a single
system of total control.

"Many who don't
think and believe,"

as the antichrist declares,

"will not be
able to buy or sell.

Many will be put to death."

Today, a mass global
awakening is transpiring

where individuals
irrespective of politics

discern the burgeoning
antichrist-like infrastructure

that is developing
all around them,

with many recognizing
that the plagues, famines, wars,

hyperinflation, lawlessness,

and acts of nature
prophesied of in the Bible

are appearing to be
orchestrated by design,

a deliberate transition,

as we are on the cusp
of a satanic rise of power,

a time the Bible calls

the Great Tribulation.

It's a time in which God
will focus His attention

back on Israel,

specifically as
Israel is at the center

of many of
the biblical prophecies

which have yet to be fulfilled.

Even now, we can already see

one such
prophecy found in Zechariah

in which God said
that in the last days,

He would make
Israel a nation of distress

to all the nations
surrounding it.

Incredible
insight when considering

that such a small spot
on Earth will be at the center

of a coming global war.

And as the climactic end to
God's prophetic plans draw near,

the Lord's return and
Israel's redemption lie ahead.

Out of profound love,

God postponed His Son's
return for earthly judgment.

You see, mankind are all guilty

of committing
terrible sins before a holy God.

If each person were to give

an individual account unto God
on their own merit,

they would certainly
face a terrible judgment.

But here's the good news.

God's masterful plan,
as unveiled in Corinthians,

reveals that while humanity

collectively
inherited condemnation

through one man's
disobedience, Adam,

they can now find
forgiveness and salvation

through the obedience
of one man, Jesus Christ.

If one man can bring
death to all through his sin,

then it follows that a sinless
man can bring life to all

through His obedience.

Thankfully,
God in His wisdom and mercy

has given us
a simple and easy way

to be justified in His sight,

and that is through His Son,

Jesus Christ.

[ethereal music]

The Bible tells us that God
created a perfect world.

Adam sinned,

and because of Adam's sin,

we are all born sinners,

but we also choose to sin.

We choose to rebel against God.

Every one of us has
broken the Ten Commandments

in thought or word or deed,

through
the evil that we have done

or the good
that we have failed to do,

through ignorance,
through weakness,

or through
our own deliberate fault.

We're all guilty before God.

We all deserve His judgment.

And the Bible says in Romans

that the wages of sin or
the penalty of sin is death.

And so God sent
His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,

to die on the cross

to take the wrath of God
for us, pay the penalty for sin,

and then He rose from the dead,

proving that He had
paid that penalty,

that He had conquered death,

and that He could
give us eternal life.

We need to respond to what
Jesus has done, every one of us.

No one can respond for us.

We must each
personally acknowledge to God

that we have sinned against Him,

that we deserve His judgment,

and then put
our trust in Jesus Christ

as our Savior and our Lord.

And when we do
that, we're forgiven.

We're restored to a right
relationship with God,

to a personal
relationship with God,

and we're given
the gift of eternal life.

We've heard that the Ark of Noah

was an ark constructed
for the salvation of mankind.

It had one door in it,
and that was a single entrance.

That was done by design.

God also only has
one way of salvation.

That way of salvation in the ark

was to preserve them
through God's judgment,

which was the flood.

And someone had to trust in God

and accept Him and come His way,

which was that
one way into the ark,

in order to be saved.

The real problem for us
is not the one way to God.

It's God.
It's that we're wanting to come

to someone who now
tells us what we need.

We need His salvation.

Tells us we're sinners,
which we don't want to hear.

Tells us we need
to depend upon Him.

And I think ultimately,
all of us deep down realize

we are not what we should be,

that there is a God
who made all these things.

We certainly didn't do it.

All the creation, all
the irreducible complexities,

all the things that exist

simply argue there is a creator.

If that's the case,
then we're creatures.

And what better
place for the creature

than in a relationship
with the creator?

The creator made
that possible by Himself

going through all
the things that we go through,

but ultimately
dying in our place

because that's
what our sin deserved.

Jesus Himself said,
in John 14:6, He said,

"I am the way,
I am the truth, I am the life,

and no one comes to the Father
except through Me."

So if we come to the one
who is God in the flesh,

the one who came
to provide redemption for us

and we trust Him
and take Him at His word,

He says, "I will save you.

That's the way
to God, and I'm the way.

Come to me and you have all
that was promised in the Bible,

eternal life,
a relationship with God."

And everything that beyond
what we can even imagine

in this life,

there's a whole life yet to come

that God has
promised to those who love Him.

[stirring music]

[narrator] 2,000 years ago,

God the Father
sent His Son to the world

to usher in a new era

of righteousness and peace.

But they rejected
the true Messiah.

They hated the very one

whom the Bible says

created love,

joy,

beauty,

and life itself.

They took and crucified Him

in the very place He was to
establish His glorious kingdom.

But God the Father

raised Him from the dead

and made His sacrifice

the salvation for many.

For Jesus Christ

is the light of the world,

and in Him

is no darkness.
