I Was Wrong About the Flood — And the Evidence Is Undeniable

Has Noah's Ark been found? Is there real scientific evidence for a global flood? I used to deny a worldwide flood. I taught a local flood, defended it, and was certain I was right. Then a few uncomfortable arguments forced me to take one last pass at the evidence — and I changed my mind. In this video I refute my former self with five biblical reasons to believe in a worldwide flood, then walk through the historical and scientific evidence that backs Scripture up — including marine fossils on top of Mount Everest, sedimentary rock that bends without breaking, and the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that's been splashed across Fox News and the Daily Mail. Has Noah's Ark really been found? My honest answer might surprise you. If you make it to the end, drop "Digging Deep" in the comments — it's become a tradition on this channel.

A few people have noted some confusion about my comments on water seeking its own level, and I want to clarify what I was doing argumentatively in that section. I was not stating my current view. I was demonstrating the internal inconsistency of my former local flood position. Here is the argument. Old earth creationists typically hold that the mountain ranges during Noah’s time were roughly the same height as they are today. If you accept that, and you also accept that the flood covered the mountains within Moses’ frame of reference, including mountains like Mount Ararat and Mount Sinai, then water seeking its own level means you are looking at a roughly 17,000 foot flood. And a 17,000 foot flood is a global flood by any practical definition. So the local flood view, on old earth assumptions, is internally inconsistent. That was the point. I was showing that my former view did not hold together on its own terms. I do not express my current view until later in the video when I bring up Andrew Snelling and the seashell formations found on top of Mount Everest. At that point I note that the Young Earth position typically holds that those elevations were much lower prior to the flood, and I indicate that I agree with that. That is where I am actually speaking for myself. I tried to make that distinction clear in the video but it was apparently too brief. Based on how often I keep seeing this same question in the comments, I clearly need to say it more plainly here. Correction: In a previous statement, I incorrectly claimed that Answers in Genesis (AiG) had sent representatives to Turkey to visit the alleged Noah’s Ark site known as the Durupinar formation. This was inaccurate. AiG has not sent anyone to personally visit or investigate the site. In fact, AiG’s position has been one of skepticism toward the Durupinar claims, with their research director, geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, concluding that the site is unlikely to be the remains of Noah’s Ark. AiG has consistently evaluated such claims remotely, based on available data and reports, rather than conducting their own on-site investigation. Also after making this video, I discovered there were some who claimed to believe the bible, but denied a global flood prior to the 16th century. #NoahsFlood #BiblicalAuthority #YoungEarth #Genesis #NoahsArk #GlobalFlood #NoahsArkFound #CreationScience #BiblicalGenesis #FloodEvidence
