I was disappointed that Fuz didn't mention what some have suggested, that there are genetic indicators that in the past our population was reduced to only a very small number. Would've liked to have heard what he thought of that.

Good points. Check your editing team when you cut these videos up into smaller segments, because that is failing. It is cutting the videos off before the true ending of the videos. Other than that, I am really enjoying this new format. Your ministry is awesome.

I'll be praying.
Great video, keep up the good work. God bless.
Have a nice day/night.
sincerely a nerdy Christian.

What’s even more interesting is that when you see a rainbow 🌈 from the air it forms a ring 💍…which is also a covenant symbol.

In Genesis 2 vs. 6 scripture doesn't speak of rain but " a mist (or a spring) was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground".

Greenland ice cores, 11, 600 years ago, (called the Younger-Dryas event) melt water pulse 1-B.

If it was local then there are still seed of the serpent/ cainites today in places that arent historically Christian or part of Christendom. Thoughts?

I’ve wondered how Artic animals like penguins, Polar bears, etc. would have made it to the Ark? Seems like, not every animal on the Earth would have been on the Ark, which lends itself to a universal, rather than global flood.

Normally, Ross mentions that there would need to be millionfold changes to the laws of Physics (involving decay rates of certain chemicals). Can someone familiar with that give examples of why a global flood model would require that? I haven't read Navigating Genesis yet, but I'm just curious about that point.

[sarahlaslett]

I hope something is done to increase the range of the volume. I am not hard of hearing ( often turn TV very low to accommodate others already in bed) and do not have problem with other sites.

great episode really have enjoyed several of RTB books on audible

[GeorgeEugeneBarrett]

Neither. The myth was plagiarized from even older flood myths.

How big was the Flood in square megameters?

[schnauzerloversmom]

I love science. But I think you are wrong in the flood account. Other scientists have taught that the “separation of waters above and below” mean that there was a liquid canopy over the earth. That would have made the barometric pressure higher than what we experience today, and probably increase the % of oxygen in the atmosphere higher than the 21% we have today. Additionally, the terra firma was one large land mass some would call Pangea. When the flood began (Genesis 7:11), scripture clearly teaches “ the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened”. Plate tectonics also demonstrate that, and that is when the 7 continents came from Pangea. Recall that the number 7 is God’s number signifying completion.

I eventually came to the conclusion that the flood might be one of Gods miracles. Its impossible that it could have covered mount Everest naturally.

[kyloken]

Wait, Noah’s Flood did it create the fossil record? ;-)

[anthonymeyer]

How can all of humanity, except Noah and family, be wiped out in a flood that didn't cover the whole earth ? Modern humans left Africa about 60, 000 years ago and quickly expanded across six continents.
