Transcript

I often hear from Christians who don’t believe Noah’s flood was a global flood. They’ll say it was just a local flood in Mesopotamia. But why?

Well, it’s not because of what the Bible says. Genesis is very clear that it was a global flood. The idea of a local flood comes from, well, evolutionary scientists!

You see, they believe the earth is millions of years old because of the rock layers. But if there was a global flood, those rock layers would’ve all been ripped up, erasing the “evidence” of long ages! So they can’t have a global flood.

Christians who say Noah’s flood was local are believing man’s ideas over God’s clear Word.
