- Did the flood mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 6-8) actually happen? Was it just a fable that was stolen from Mesopotamian epics? Is there any evidence that can support the Biblical account?

Is it true that noah get male and female in every animals? The latest stemate was there are 7.77 million kind of animals in the world, then noah get two of each which is male and female, soo more or less 15milion animals was in that ark,, how big is that ark? Two gerraf need big space, as will as hipopotamus, elephant, rino, beast, cow, carabaos, horses, zebras, goats, bucks, bears, wolfs, big cats, and etcs., it needs space. Then how big is the atock room og foods,, noah needs to bring extra animals for the carnivores ones, and grass for herbivores. Then after the flood, why does kangaroo find only in Australia, komodo dragon only in Indonesia, why philippines dont have lions, hepo, rinos, elephants, giraffe? Were does that ark land after the flood? How does tarsier manage to come here in the philippines? JUSt wondering, I hope you can help me find the answers of those questions.. I'm still searching for truth, keep asking to anyone for someone might give answer and inlighten my mind. Thank you
most animals are sea/air animals?

Considering Genghis Khan is said to be the paternal grandfather of a quarter of Asia’s population, it’s not crazy to me that Noah’s sons would end up accounting for extremely large sums of the population.
That's not exactly a fair comparison, Kahn had around 50 wives, and probably around 500 women total to sleep with, plus commited a vast number or rapes. Whereas Noah and His sons each only had one wife in the account.
@@lordfishsticksthegreat829and Noah lived for 950 years, Shem lived for 600 years, and I’m assuming his other two brothers also had long life spans, so they had lots and lots of time to have tons of kids, and also their kids also continuing that chain, it was only until after the exodus and Moses the days of long life spans were over, Joshua lived for 110 years if I recall correctly

@@xplicitgoofy1015 The ages given to the Patriarchs are symbolic, based in Hebrew numerology, and were never meant to be taken literally.

This is really interesting, I hope people realize it.
The unknown period for the ancients is something I feel is seldom spoken of. Looking at Greek history, they knew the time of the Bronze Age collapse and a bit before, but otherwise it was all unclear. What the Bronze Age people thought of as their past is just amazing, because it's their tradition of spoken history just coming to be written down after years of developing writing, all of the time period that their ancestors spoke of.
Early civilization is just amazing, and the transition from the Neolithic to Bronze Age needs to be covered more. I'm glad this channel goes over such things, incredible work!!

I’m a a recently saved believer in Christ who has recently returned to the fold. I gotta say that whether you’re a believer or not, this early period described is truly fascinating.
i was raised in the church but stepped away from christianity as an adult. since then, i’ve explored and even at some points identified with most eastern religions, native/aboriginal myths & ledgends, agnosticism, astrology, and the secular interpretations of history in depth. with that being said and lived, i’ve really grown to appreciate the storytelling, literary techniques, and historical accuracy of the abrahamic religions (judaism, christianity, islam) in particular. these videos have so much substance and this channel is fucking incredible.
So u Christian or nah?

I have been interested in eastern religions as well...and I would be lying if I said this guy’s videos are not making me think.
Come home, accept Christ.
Hope you come back.
It’s fascinating that many studies of the flood account omit the fact that the “fountains of the deep burst forth AND the windows of heaven were open” Gen 7:11 ESV.
So, there was not only a 40-day monsoon from above but the earth was ejecting water from water tables below. This was a catastrophic event; not just forty days of rain.
" fountains of the deep" could refer to all the moisture that entered the atmosphere when a comet impacted the deep ocean? There are 3 new craters found in Indian and Pacific oceans dated to this time. The largest of the 3 near Madagascar is called the burckle Crater.
I am a Muslim here on your channel. But I enjoy your videos. They are quite informative like this one.
One God and One Lord to become a holy spirit... 3 as 1, thats the trinity if there ever was one
@The Gharqad Tree there is no proof for a trinity, and if muslims were to set that aside and seek truth rather than doctorine, then we can only hope they will follow Christ to the Father.
Problem is, they love listening tovi singer to keep them away from the Spirit of the Father. Just because they are blinded from the atonement made, its sad other faiths fall to them rather than to God who is truth.
We can only pray 🙏🏻
Niko Bellic And there’s evidence that your prophets were valid? Also where is the evidence that dates back to this Jesus figure? I’m not a muslims by the way.
Niko Bellic First off, how do you know that these prophets performed miracles? A lot of them defy the laws of physics and scientific logic and lack in historical evidence. Secondly, according to certain Islamic traditions Muhammad is a descendant of Abraham’s second son Ishmael. Last but not least just because a book says something doesn’t make it true. There’s hardly any evidence that the apostles even existed and all of their supposed writings came along way after their deaths, they also contain contradictions.

I'm really glad that I never started studying this 30 years ago because this information was probably not available or widely distributed and would have resulted in me believing some of the atheist understandings that lead them to reject the whole Bible as copies of myths from other people (which they were essentially).
I've been following the Kings and Generals historic version of Mesopotamia and how it was under constant battles and takeovers by the various leaders and this video helps add another angle to the time period before Abraham left Ur.
Thank you...another great and interesting presentation.
I feel the same
Peli_can Dude I reject the bible because of ‘stories’ like the flood and many others. The flood story shows a complete misunderstanding of physics, biology, and science. There is no reason to believe any of it happened because it couldn’t have. Reasons?
- you can’t drive when its raining 1” every 15 minutes or 4” per hour.
- to flood Mt. Ararat, it would have to rain continuously 4.5” per hour for 40 days
- to flood Mt. Everest (i.e the entire surface), it would have had to rain more than 7” per hour every day for 40 days
- there is no valid explanation for where all the water went over the next 325 days
These kinds of rain events would have sunk the vessel. And these ancient people had no understanding of where the water would go so didn’t make up a story for it.
After 40 days of rain, the ark floated around for another 10 1/2 months before running aground on Mt. Ararat. That’s a full year.
- with limited space on the ark, how did they store a year’s worth of food for 8 people and thousands of animals?
- without refrigeration, food for both people and animals would have rotted. They would have suffered from scurvy similar to the Spanish fleets that died from it after only a few months at sea.
- where did they keep all of the meat for the carnivores? That would have rotted, too.
- with only one 3’x3’ window, how did they acquire enough oxygen through that tiny hole for the entire ship’s population? With the amount of excrement being produced, the methane gas would have suffocated them. And the stink...
- with only one 3’x3’ window, how did they remove the excrement? A full time job for 8 people.
- the lack of light would have produced all sorts of health problems. To keep lamps/torches going for light throughout the ship, they would have needed fuel...for a year. No plants could have survived in the dark on the ark.
- ‘pairs of animals, one male, one female’. Do you think this might have caused some offspring? Even more animals to feed. And places to put them? Rabbits, mice, and rats alone would have overrun the ship after a year.
- 4 couples, 3 of child bearing age, wouldn’t have had any children in a one year period?
An finally, 8 people of Middle East decent repopulate the the entire planet and produce all of the visible races? From African blacks to Swedish caucasians? Interesting when archeological investigations have civilizations starting in Africa, not the Middle East.
The ark story was just another poorly thought out claim by these ancient people. Not every civilization has a flood story. If there was a flood, every civilization would have the story. These guys can go through the bible and other ancient texts and find whatever they want. But, without some facts to back it up, their claims are just as unfounded as the creation myth.
@@Wrkumlin
Wow, you've really thought this through from your limited knowledge and information available from a story written anywhere from 2,100 to 3,500 years ago but was actually supposed to have happened much farther back in time since it was passed on for many generations before that.
To be honest, I don't know what happened but the main idea was this: After God created humans he kicked them out of the Garden of Eden (essentially being kept by God who provided everything for them that they would need) for disobeying a rule and told them to work the earth and sweat for their supper.
From that point they just got worse and kept finding new ways to offend God and sin against their fellow humans so God decided that he needed to start fresh. Some see that as genocidal or some other act of immorality that made them despise God even more than allowing stories to be told in his Holy Book that don't make sense to those who want to find the exact details of how that flood worked.
But the words of the Bible don't just talk about rain, they also include water from below the earth that was brought up to help flood the world faster. I've heard a few recent stories that say we do have a huge water source stored under the ground and that it is almost as much as the water in the oceans. I haven't researched that either because it is not quite as relevant as the idea that humans sin and we find new ways to insult and disrespect what many believe is the creator of the universe.
And again, to be honest, that is what I try to focus on and try to improve internally without judging what others do or believe.
If you'd like to elaborate on what you do believe and why that makes more sense to you then it might be more entertaining than calculating all the old stories that only set the stage for the modern world where we see all the problems of sin and evil coming up everywhere and people doing things to insult God and ingore his wisdom is even more obvious with every school shooting, rape, abortion, sex change operation, and any other silliness we witness daily.
I'm always open to hearing new versions of reality but lately I haven't heard anything that makes me believe any less in God. They all just confirm that there is something much more intelligent and powerful behind our world and think it's a better idea to seek the face of that being instead of trying to find ways to justify materialistic and sensual pleasures.
@@peli_candude554 So, what I get from your response is that god made some people that were emotionally unable to follow his 'rules', rules they were't told. He didn't tell them what sin was. They had no more reason to understand what it meant than if he didn't exist at all. Then he punished them for doing something wrong when they couldn't have know it was wrong without eating from the fruit of the tree in the first place. Saying "Don't eat from the tree" to Adam and Eve was like saying "Don't eat that cookie" to a 3 year old. The temptation is too great. And if that's how your god teaches people, by testing them, then he's immoral. He's a Barbaric bully of a god, with the same personality as those men that made him up thousands of years ago - believe what I do or you'll suffer. Is that how you raised your children (assuming you have raised children)? Did you tempt them and then punish them if they didn't do just like you wanted without telling them what you wanted in the first place?
I'm sorry, but your god in no way represents the good of good and evil when he drowns everyone for the doings of a few. And why did he have to drown them? Why did he have to drown all the animals and plants? Was he so incompetent that he couldn't come up with a better way to get rid of the bad eggs in the bunch? And, did it do any good? Nope. He had to direct his warring barbarians to kill entire cities, running swords through the bellies of the pregnant women. But he's all knowing, all seeing, right? Your 'loving' god should have known that drowning 2.5 million of his creations, plus all the animals, would have done nothing and we saw that in history 3,000 years ago. We see it today. So, like I said, he's a bully. He demands worship for what? Fear of eternal persecution if you don't?
I know you have to defend all of the crap in the bible to maintain your belief in your god. But I don't. I can look at the bible and see the good and realize that it's good because it's good, not because some god said so. If I need a god to tell me what's good, then I also need him to tell me what's bad. And now I can't think for myself. I can't have free will because any decisions I make could disrupt your god's 'plan'. If I do have free will, your god can't have a plan because there are potentially 7 billion disrupters out there every day - atheists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, even Christians, or any of the less mainstream civilizations out there that have their own beliefs like the indigenous peoples of North and South America. Your god isn't very good at marketing. And your biblical stories don't make him any better.
I'm not trying to get you to disbelieve. This started out as a statement of why atheists reject the bible. The question should be more like why I can't accept it. And that is what I'm trying to show you. We've only discussed 1 or 2 stories here. There are many more that just make the bible unbelievable.
@@peli_candude554 By the way, a little research finds that some believe there's enough water under the earth's crust to be equal to the amount of water in the oceans. However, to flood the earth to the top of Mt. Everest would take 7 times the amount of water currently in our oceans. Then there's the question of how it came out and how it went back down. Magic?
This guy is seriously learned. Love your passion bro. It's truly inspiring

Killing everyone in a flood to get rid of sinners didn't work did it

@Buster Scruggs but evolution is a fact...take for example that some people have evolved along far enough to be that evolution is a real thing...well other humans are still stuck in the past, believing in a stone age God,of people who lived in a desert, who's rather shy about proving that he really existed
@Buster Scruggs by the way...your definition of scientific fact is way off...we don't necessarily have to observe and have it repeated...all we actually need is to look at the outcome of said events,and come to a logical conclusion...I know that the word "logical" is very uncomfortable to you religious types...get over it

Can you give some examples? It's a claim I here here and there but never see any real arguments
@@benisrael2266 Well for example that the concept of Archangels, the Apocalypse and Final Judgment were "taken" from Zoroastrianism, since the Zoroastrian king Cyrus freed the Jewish people from Babylon's rule and brought them home, even helped to erect the temple, and is called in the bible the "annointed one". The claim is that Zoroastrian ideas such as Apocalypse, Angels and the Satan did not exist in the Jewish Religion prior to that event, and was implemented in Judaism due to syncretism.
Zoroastrianism is a highly dualistic Religion, with basically two Gods representing good and evil, and there are immortal beings that assist the "Good" deity, and it does often speak of a day in which all people will be judged.
@@ApplestreamRuben I will look into it for you. Firstly i think that the old testament dosnt believe in dualism though!

@Behrad At oh cool, thanks for the info!
It's like police say about witnesses. People see the same event but the details are usually different. Not just these two...there are one's in North/South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, etc.
Everyone started after the flood, if everyone had grandparents who told them about the flood, it is clear that so many nations have this story as a "myth" even though it was a reality. And as you wrote, generation after generation only remembered certain details of the whole story, until someone decides to write it but maybe already too distorted. For me, this is another reason to believe that the Bible is true. It's the most complex, the most proven. But also the most mysterious, because God wants man to understand, to learn to love, to respect, to believe, and only the one who seeks God with all his heart finds him. As if God showed everything clearly and descended to earth in all his power, no one will dare not believe, but in this way no one will show what kind of man he is, bad or good.
Here on earth we show if: We live to be a blessing to those around us on this earth or we live for ourself and everyone has to please us. The Bible shows us what and where a life lived in selfishness leads us, even our consciousness that man shows us through many films we make where Selfishness leads Evil and the desire for power to oppress others.
And a lie told often enough will eventually become "the truth".
The first cities/civilizations grew up besides rivers, so any culture which DIDN'T have a flood story would be the oddity.

That could be aquifers pushing up water for some reason. Which could happen in a few different ways, not sure if a monsoon could cause it though...

My hypothesis is that civilizations always build up around water source, so flooding is naturally be expected once in a while. There must have been several large floods in various regions throughout human history
Jesus Mesiah is my Lord! Glory to his name! ❤ 🙏
Listening to the experts, this sounds like a lot of conjecture. A reed ark 500 feet in length doesn't make any sense. And , if they can't make the Bible fit their theory, they just suggest the Bible is mistranslated and it actually fits their theory instead. A bit hard to swallow all this.
More than a bit
as a muslim i find this very Great and Mount Judi is in Quran 11 :44
Then it was said, ‘Earth, swallow up your water, and sky, hold back,’ and the water subsided, the command was fulfilled. The Ark settled on Mount Judi, and it was said, ‘Gone are those evildoing people!’

The human bottleneck and violence rise seemed obvious to me. Man stayed violent towards each other well into the bronze age, Social insulation was the norm and entire villages spawned from one man and his many wives produced entire clans that all hailed back to their previous ancestor. These men would compete with each other (I use compete very loosely here, some were better at dating with the given rules than others) and their haplogroup spread. To scoff at this idea or to consider it incredulous seems almost like willing ignorance. Todays civilizations hail from one man. Hell Europe of all places Is basically spread into two halves both originating from one man, one clan. Hell Humanity has a shocking lack of abundance of haplogroups, in fact it seems entire civilizations hail from a prior father of some sort. I find human migrations fascinating. Great video IP.

I love your work, it has really helped me bridge science with my faith and given me new insight into science and what it can be used for. Reading an interview with Fraser, he quoted Aquinas where he said (paraphrasing) "Science provides data, our metaphysical framework is how we interpret that data and what truth we derive from it"
Take a look at Walt Brown's hydroplate theory. It explains an awful lot.
It is known that one firth of the population of Asia is descended form Ganus Khan the mogul horde leader and emperor and that is only a thousand years ago, so why is so difficult to believe that four men from even older times could father so meany people?
Man is still violent towards his fellow man today and that would be true even if the entire world was atheist. They forget we're not claiming that Christianity is proven true because it made the world a paradise. Christians realize their sinfulness and look to God as savior. Yes, we should try to improve, but becoming perfect in some absolute sense on earth is not the "goal" as this is impossible. The idea of a flood local in scope but "universal" in judgment is a lot more plausible than a global flood. Okay say it was a miracle, but how many miracles are needed to make the fundamentalist version of the story make sense? (since they want it to play out in a naturalistic world in real time) If our interpretation of the bible is contrary to fact, then our interpretation is at fault.
epstein was killed wow so funny😐
This sounds really interesting. Would you by chance have any resources (Books or papers) you would recommend were I could read up on this?
If the flood was local, what was the promise God made that was symbolize by the rainbow?
Rainbows are an inescapable consequence of water retracting light due to the difference in optical density between it and light.
The ancients did not see the global Earth that we take for granted today as a result of education, naval discovery and technological development.
Unless they were traders between various far off countries the ancients whole world would have been limited to at the most a few hundred miles in any given direction, rather than the thousands we know to be the case today.
Worse than that, tor the greater part of any given ancient population that number would likely have been only tens of miles in any given direction.
Even today many people do not stray more than a few miles from the place that they grew up in over their entire lifespan.
If you are a scientist who has been in your particular field of study for a couple of decades and you are committed to an interpretation of the data that you see every day. What kind of evidence or arguments would be powerful enough to get you to even consider an alternative perspective on the data?
Bias is too strong. It would take more than evidence, even extraordinary evidence, to cause that scientist to even consider entertaining a new perspective.
Are we open-minded enough to consider new ideas?
I think the answer for a great many scientists is no.
Chinese paleontologist Jun-Yuan Chen, “In China we can criticize Darwin, but not the government; in America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin.”
Even if you question Darwins bottom-up interpretation of how creatures evolved, and you see a top down perspective, and you don't agree with natural selection being the mechanism that changes creation over deep time, we somehow still believe we have to hold on to deep time.
Darwin Bias is so strongly ingrained and beaten into us that we find it difficult to break out of his mold.
Is my ranting about this my way of being comfortable with my own bias?
I'm actually comfortable with an all powerful God who could have done creation in 14 billion years or 6,000 years. This is not a faith killer issue for me.
My issue has to do with the actual science being done. Are we excluding possibilities from the equation simply because we are not comfortable with certain ideas no matter what evidence is out there to support it.
How does this relate to the flood in Genesis?
1.There is global evidence of a flood
2. That global flood evidence contains strata and artifacts that reflect a young earth interpretation.
I just think that the evidence deserves another look. It's no longer about a few rag tag creationist scientist making extremely controversial claims. Many if these ideas are gaining traction.
I appreciate all the time, effort, and study it took to make this video. The video editing alone can be tedious and time consuming. On a side note, not sure why people would expect to find the ark now. There’s a high probability the ark was dismantled and used as building material and fire fuel to restart after so much was destroyed by the flooding.

@@universalis8208 It wasn't a global flod bro
@@keithtauber4153 Well that is ignoring texts like Psalm 104:5-9 which describes God during the creation of the earth setting a boundary on the waters of the earth so they do not flood the world ever again which happened in the primordial earth. You are reading the text way too plainly in our modern western lenses and culture we have to understand it their culture lenses and understanding the writers of the bible wouldn't understand our culture the way we do.
And those people that you say "Follows Man's word instead of God's word" is interpreting the Bible in the writers culture and their understanding. So I find it unfair when you guys say they aren't following God's word when they are literally interpreting the way it was meant to.
Also the Psalms verse is not at all in conflict with the NT passages you cited.
The Flood contains a lot fo hyperbole because you are going to tell me that the Hebrew writers were aware of the Aborigines, The Natives, etc then I don't know what to tell you.
I love these flood stories. Once people realized that the Earth is a globe, they discounted them, because of the unlikelihood that the surface of the planet would be completely covered. What they did not consider is that in a sufficiently large body of water (e.g. Lake Superior) a floating craft would be out of sight of land, indefinitely, creating the impression that the entire world had been inundated. Having no form of propulsion, the Ark really would not have moved at all. It would not have taken much to convince people that the entire world had perished by flood.
20:48 Why would the Genesis account probably come from an Akkadian source? A flood throughout all of Mesopotamia would have been remembered by Sumerians, Akkadians, Elamites, and all others around.
Interestingly, the family of Abram came from the area just below the mountains of Urartu. Padan Aram. This is the ancestral land from which fitting brides were sought for the patriarchs who wished to marry among their own people rather than the local Canaanites.
It is interesting to note that the father of Semitic Monotheist peoples came from the region where the godly Noah and his sons exited the ark and first began repopulating the region after the flood.
It seems like there would be better, more accurate cultural memory of such events there than in the reconstituted cities of Sumer and Akkad and else where.
Pure speculation, of course, but food for thought.
I like the fact you mention an aspect of human nature in that, a group of conquerors isn't going to adopt the traditions or spirituality of those conquered.
It is far more likely that those conquered would be forced to adopt the beliefs of their oppressors, implying this couldn't be biblical plagiarism.
If the Flood only affected the area of Mesopotamia, as some claim, why did Noah have to build an Ark? He could have walked to the other side of the mountains and escaped. Most importantly, if the Flood were local, people not living in the vicinity of the Flood would not have been affected by it. They would have escaped God’s judgment on sin.
Yep the video makes a lot of sense, until you realize he's trying to rationalize the Bible.
Wow, YECs don't think about this much.... Noah was a prophet proclaiming judgement, as Hebrews 11 says. He couldn't do that if he left. Also, if the land was covered in violence travel was not safe. It was better to stay there and ride out the storm. I'll be covering this in my next video on the flood, as I have 3 more to make.
How are people misinterpreting this scripture? It says "ALL" the mountains were covered not some meaning the ENTIRE earth was flooded.
Genesis 7:17-20
Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.
The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered

Youd have to take care of all of them, and their kids, and would be obligated culturally to keep impregnating and growing that cost burden until you give them all at LEAST a son to carry on your name or until they became too old to bare children.
The flood was a lot bigger than that. Look up the younger dryas impact hypothesis that's gotten a lot of direct support from impact craters newly discovered in Greenland. The northern ice sheet melted suddenly, ending the ice age and flooding gigantic areas of the planet.
Plus the Flood in the Black Sea - although, the water is still there.

@@305thief8 Your "logic" goes nowhere. First, Psalm 104 has nothing to do with the ability for there to be a global flood. Next, you are making a number of assumptions with your next comment. First, you are assuming that the continents look like they do today. Even mainstream scientists don't believe that. They refer to a "Pangea", when all the continents were connected in one land mass. You are also assuming to know what Old Testament writers knew, when you have no idea what they knew. But most egregious of your assumptions is the misunderstanding that Old Testament writers wrote based upon what they "knew." This denies the entire point of the Bible - the fact that it was INSPIRED. God TOLD them what to write. Obviously, the writers in some cases were very familiar with their content but in other cases very unfamiliar with it. How do you think prophecy works? You think they "knew" that? And how did Moses write the first few chapters of Genesis? Did he actually know what happened in Eden? God inspired the writing of Scripture. Next, you refer to scientists (who are biased against a worldwide flood) claiming it couldn't happen. That is not evidence of anything. So, your assumptions are all incorrect. Think more critically next time.

Natural disasters were often credited to the gods. It was as many researchers suggest a way for ancient people to make sense of their world.
Yeah humans seem to like to retroactively apply agency to events they probably didn't have any part in. I.e. a grand paradise has been lost, child birth is tortuous, and we work harder for worse food than our hunter/ gatherer ancestors. Why... because we as a species have transgressed in some way.
People live near water...so of course there are going to be flood stories from different people groups
As for the Biblical story, ancient language experts have declared there is no literary dependence on the Arcadian or any other flood Text.
The epic of Gilgamesh even has the dove/raven part of the story. The oldest tablet of Gilgamesh is a complete one from the 18th century BC, 1700s years before the Dead sea scrolls.
@J Mireles I would like to know as well
@J Mireles if you're writing about the flood you should look at the cuneiform clay tablets archaeologists found, telling the story of a flood and a God called Enlil who created a storm to flood everything as well as providing information about what materials were needed to build it .
Mesopotamia.
British museum has 1000s of those early clay tablets.
They predate the Jewish & Christian Noah story by 1000 years
It's an ancient story, I believe there has to be some truth about a flood otherwise it would have died out .
But it was s story handed down from family to family over millennia , eventually taken and characters names changed into the ones we find in the bible.
One expert in translating them is on utube, IRWIN finkle I think his name is, British museum is where the tablets are,
It's worth a look especially if you're still writing your paper.
@J Mireles around 8000 years ago, or 8000 bc , I can't remember without looking , a flood caused the land joining Britain to Europe disappeared because of flooding which created the English channel.
I believe there's some truth in the middle eastern flood , because the story survive for so long after being passed down to each generation over millennia.
I believe there's a lot of truth in many biblical stories,

But there are so many abnormalities that cry out for a global flood and catastrophism.
We find huge seashells on top of mountains (here in Appalachia and I’m told even on the tallest mountains, like Mt Everest ).
We find massive jungle vegetation and forests under ice caps.
Compare this to the massive burial of plants and animals that became coal and oil.
We find frozen mammoths with undigested food still in their bellies,
requiring a massive and near instant temperature drop.
So many unanswered questions.
Shells on mountains are always with limestone which forms under the sea. Science tells us and correctly that tectonic plates is one method to create mountains. Limestone isn't created by a flood that never happened. There has never been a flood that covered every mountain on the planet.
Science has also noted things like a warble in our axis at certain times, and other shifts that can change tropical zones into deserts or frozen zones.
Listen to science and you will learn... Listen to the Bible and you will get things wrong! :)
Ancient people found shells on mountains and put 2 and 2 together and got 7 ... It was a nice guess but totally wrong.
A flood that never happened didn't do it. :)

@@zedm7523 I think you need to rethink things a bit. There are marine fossils within 200 feet of the top of Mount Everest which means water could easily flow over this "high mountain". There are whale fossils high in the Andes giving evidence to the fact that the summits were easily covered by water. The mountain ranges were a consequence of tectonic movement during and after the flood. When we look at how the mountain ranges are parallel to the tectonic fault lines a scenario of a global flood becomes plausible.
@@gusolsthoorn1002 No gus it is you who needs to rethink...lol :) The shells in rock are also in limestone... Limestone is formed under the sea. There was no flood...lol :)

/ the flood chronology \
1. In the 600th year of Noah (second month, tenth day), Noah entered the ark (Ge 7:4, 10, 11).
2. In the 600th year of Noah (second month, seventeenth day), the Flood began (Ge 7:11).
3. The waters flooded the earth for 150 days (5 months of 30 days each), including the 40 days and 40 nights of
rain (Ge 7:12, 17, 24; 8:1), plus the initial receding.
4. The waters further receded to the point that (600th year, seventh month, seventeenth day) the ark rested on
Ararat (Ge 8:3, 4).
5. The waters continued to abate so that (600th year, tenth month, first day) the tops of the mountains were visible
(Ge 8:5).
6. Forty days later (600th year, eleventh month, tenth day) Noah sent out a raven and a dove (Ge 8:6). Over the
next 14 days, Noah sent out two more doves (Ge 8:10, 12). In all, this took 61 days or two months and one day.
7. By Noah’s 601st year on the first month, the first day, the water had dried up (Ge 8:12, 13).
8. Noah waited one month and twenty‐six days before he disembarked in the second month, the 27th day of his
601st year. From beginning to end, the Flood lasted one year and ten days from Ge 7:11 to Ge 8:14.

@@rtod4 ok, I get you, 👍
Many Christians today think the Flood of Noah’s time was only a local flood, confined to somewhere around Mesopotamia. This idea does not come from Scripture.
Look at the problems this concept involves:
If the Flood was local, why did Noah have to build an Ark? He could have walked to the other side of the mountains and missed it.
If the Flood was local, why did God send the animals to the Ark so they would escape death? There would have been other animals to reproduce that kind if these particular ones had died.
If the Flood was local, why was the Ark big enough to hold all kinds of land vertebrate animals that have ever existed? If only Mesopotamian animals were aboard, the Ark could have been much smaller.
If the Flood was local, why would birds have been sent on board? These could simply have winged across to a nearby mountain range.
If the Flood was local, how could the waters rise to 15 cubits (8 meters) above the mountains (Genesis 7:20)? Water seeks its own level. It couldn’t rise to cover the local mountains while leaving the rest of the world untouched.
If the Flood was local, people who did not happen to be living in the vicinity would not be affected by it. They would have escaped God’s judgment on sin. If this happened, what did Christ mean when He likened the coming judgment of all men to the judgment of ‘all’ men (Matthew 24:37-39) in the days of Noah? A partial judgment in Noah’s day means a partial judgment to come.
If the Flood was local, God would have repeatedly broken His promise never to send such a flood again.

I honestly believe that the account of the Flood in Genesis was intended to depict a global flood. The textual evidence is too strong to conclude otherwise. Furthermore, there are certain logical reasons why the Flood story would completely fall apart if it were simply a local phenom. God went to too much trouble to call out Noah. Why not simply do what He did with Abraham and tell him to move to a different part of the world? Having Noah build an ark then having to get all the animals to gather at that location in order to be saved from drowning doesn't make sense if their "kind" would have been safe otherwise. No, a regional flood makes the whole story nonsensical and superfluous. "I'll put a rainbow in the sky to show that I'll never destroy the earth by flooding again. Oops, I lied because regional floods are still happening all over the earth."
The operative word here is "intended". By that statement, it carries within it that understanding that it wasn't global.
"No, a regional flood makes the whole story nonsensical and superfluous. "

• The height of Mount Everest is 8.85 km and this is where the water level has to rise to cover the earth.
• Add the height of Mount Everest to the radius of the earth 6371 + 8.85 and re-compute the volume of the earth with the 8.8km water on top of it = 1,087,727,260,852 cubic kilometers.
• Subtract the earth’s original volume from the computed volume yields 4,520,344,006 cubic kilometers, which is the volume of the water to cover all the mountains (or the flood).
• The total amount of all the available water on earth before the flood (rivers, lakes and oceans) is measured to be 1,360,000,000 cubic kilometer, not including the water locked tightly in minerals and crystals (like wadsleyite and ringwoodite). The water in those minerals can only be freed by an incredible amount of energy. If this energy were to be released the earth’s temperature would rise to many thousands of degrees, and every living thing would be boiled in the steam to death.
The flood water is more than 3 times larger than all the waters available on the earth.
• There is no explanation or possible place for this huge amount of water to go (it could not evaporate for a billion year or ever), the inside of the earth could not hold even 1% of this amount.
• This incredible amount of water fell over the course of 40 days. So to raise the sea level 8.8 km in 40 days, the rainfall must be 8711 inches per day. The heaviest rainfall ever recorded was on Madagascar in the 1950’s where 73.6 inches of rain fell in a single day. So during the flood, each day more than 100 times more rain had to fall than the highest ever recorded on earth. This deluge is akin to putting a boat (Ark) under Niagara Falls.
• Falling at the rate of 8711 inches per day, it would produce in incredibly high saturation of the air with moisture, which is impossible to breath.
THESE IS JUST SOME OF THE MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE FLOOD, BUT HERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS FABLE (which I won’t go into at this time)
• There are geological and physical facts making the flood impossible.
• There are historical proofs - several civilizations not recording any global floods
• There are biological evidences against the possibility of the flood
• I won’t even touch the ark and all the animals, which is a fairy tale and a biological impossibility.
12:48 This part was particularly interesting for me as a Muslim as it's the place where the Quran said the ark came to rest. This was very informative as always, keep up the excellent work.
"And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and, O sky! Withhold ! And the water was made to subside. And the decree was fulfilled. And it came to rest upon Al-Judi"

ShogunV that religion of yours is manmade false demonic and idolatry. And like catholicism which influenced it mixed Truth and error stealing the Truth of God’s (the Holy One of Israel.. the TriUne GodHead: the Father, the Risen Word Spotless Lamb and Only Begotten Son of the Father Jesus Christ our Lord Who was made flesh, dwelt among us, and Who died on the Cross for our sins, and the Holy Spirit: and These Three are One!) Word, twisting it into a lie! You need to repent and turn to Christ Jesus alone in faith and be saved from your sins and Unbelief!
Born Justice Rule this is Not “science” it’s opinions of man.. man rejecting Truth and trying to erroneously “correct” what God’s Word clearly states.. which is adding to, and taking from His Word, and is heretical and dangerous! Man of Red Earth (Adam) was created by God, in His Image and after His Likeness. Eve was taken out of Man, formed from his rib. All mankind was from Adam and Eve. Before the Fall, Adam walked with God; the TriUne GodHead, the Holy One of Israel. After the Fall, Adam fell into sin and, separated from God, he was banished from Eden. But from him came all man, and in sin and fallen, separated from God.. (unto Noah’s day.. unto today.) But Abraham, Noah, David, etc.. they trusted in God.. they were Saved from Sin Satan Death Hell and the Grave (as we are today) by God’s grace through our faith in Christ Jesus God’s Son, our Lord, and man’s Only Saviour. From ancient times to now, the Cross and the Empty tomb stands in between. They looked ahead, we look behind. For by grace are you Saved through faith, and that Not of yourselves, it is the Gift of God, Not of works, lest any man should boast. For God so loved the world He Gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus Christ) that who so ever Believes In Him will Not Perish but Have Everlasting Life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world Through Him Might Be Saved. He who has the Son has Life. He who has not the Son has not Life, but the Wrath of God abides upon him. Just as today, back in ancient times, and in between, people have rejected Jesus Christ and the Gospel: that the Saviour Who is Jesus Christ the Lord would come/has come and would make Atonement for mankind. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All was made by Him, and with out Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of the world that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten Son of the Father full of Grace and Truth, for the Law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth cane by Jesus Christ. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own (Israel), but His own received Him not. But to All Who Received Him gave He the right to become the children of God, even to those which Believe on His Name. Jesus Christ, God’s Risen Word and Spotless Lamb with out wrinkle or blemish, became a man (born of a virgin) and Died on the Cross for our sins.. in our place.. shedding His Blood for the Remission of our sins. He was Buried, And three days after, as He promised and by God the Father’s Glory, He Rose from the dead in Victory. He Ascended back into Heaven, and sits at the Father’s Right Hand to make Intercession for all those, who in faith in Him alone, Repent (in mind) of our sins, Turn to Him in acceptance trust confidence and reliance (simple childlike faith), and Call out to Him for the Forgiveness of and Salvation from All our sins, Asking Him to Wash us clean white as snow in His Precious Blood. For we are Justified by our Faith In Christ before the Father, and In Faith do we Walk with Him (in Relationship.) It’s God’s Free Gift of His grace, for Salvation is of the Lord and it is He Who Keeps. Hallelujah to the Lamb Jesus Christ our (Believers’) Living Blessed Hope!
Now, the Lost remains Lost in Sin and Death, under God’s just wrath. Why??? Because they have rejected Jesus Christ and the Gospel, these children of the Devil, thus are still in their sins, Blinded in Darkness, and Hostile towards God. For you must be Born Again of the Holy Spirit.. Redeemed.. Saved from your sins.. Covered with Christ’s Righteousness.. being In Christ. Jesus Atoned fully for our sins, and Died for the sins of the whole world, He is Faithful and True, and is our (the Believer’s) Expiation and Propitiation, and it’s by faith in Christ Jesus alone. It is for whosoever will, for God is no respecter of persons, for All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life, the Only Way Truth and the Life. No man comes unto the Father But By Him!
Watch some David Wood and Zakaria Botros man, I'm not saying this because I hate Muslims, I'm saying this because we all love you guys and don't want you spending your life on the word of Kadhija. Mohammad thought he was demon possessed when he received his original revelation, became suicidal later and admitted some of his revelations were from Satan, Khadhija convinced him that it was "Jibril" in order to calm him down. Some of the Arabic texts describe Mohammad thrashing around with his skin changing colors when he received his revelations. There is much more that has already been translated into English. The Quran says that God will never allow his people to victim to magic, Mohammad became so insane at one point that it was found that he had been victim to magic that had made him delusional with false beliefs, this is according to his wife Aisha. Just some things to think about.
This follows closer to the land bridge failure between 8500 and 11000 years ago in the Arabian Gulf. The Southern cliffs of Iran dip to depths of 150 Meters meaning a river existed there before the floodong occurred. As well, Bahrain was a swamp at that time. Flooding would have caused the exact problems noted as the ground in those areas was already saturated with water. If you check the depths to this day, most of the water covered areas are only 50 meters deep with the exception of where the river was.
The grand canyon in the united states was carved by the worldwide flood , in a very short and sudden time scale.
No, it wasn't. This would have required a fast stream of water in order to carve through the layers in a very short and sudden time scale. But with fast water there comes a lot of inertia. Look at how narrow some bends in the Grand Canyon are. No fast waterstream would have chosen this way. @@markdettra1794
The oceans would literally boil off of the surface of the earth if plate tectonics were shifting that fast and all that decay would just be too much. Its impossible for the earth to recover from such an invent. Nothing would survive that event or replenish ever again. This is just Jewish folklore based on older stories. Its not suppose to be taken as fact.
Who said anything about fast plate tectonics? IP is not a YEC.
wow I’ve just finished this video and I’m blown away by 1) the amount and quality of archaeological evidence presented, 2) the amount and quality of scholarly sources presented 3) the nature in which you also present information that wouldn’t necessarily support the biblical account, 4) quality of the video (music, graphics, maps, data, quotes, book covers etc), 5) your narration capabilities, 6) how you balance physical evidences with the biblical accounts (re: it’s clear you’re not pushing a narrative simply because you believe in the Bible) and 7) the effortless flow with which all of this is presented. it’s not easy at all to present archaeological data or biblical topics let alone to present both in an extremely easy to follow and smooth way - God is surely using you indeed brother, keep up the good work you have strengthened my faith in ways I didn’t even know I needed

Ron Wyatt has found the ark and spent 10 years investigating it, he found laminated wood and metal bolts Ron used the sophisticated scanners of his day (he has since passed on). In sight of the ark the villagers have these large stones with a hole bored in them, these were probably ballast stones let down by rope to steady the ark.Over the years people have carved designs on them notably crosses

I've heard many claims by atheists that the Israelites were a confederation of Caananite tribes. If so, it'd be strange for them to have legends which place their ancestors in places such as Ararat/Urartu and Mesopotamia.
Unless you wanted to pretend you were someone else.
@@Spectre4913 Then that raises the question: who were they pretending to be and why? The Franks once claimed they were the descendants Trojans because they were insecure about not being seen as an ancient and venerable people. If this were to also be the case with the Israelites/Hebrews, you'd expect them to make claims such as being descendants of the Sumerians, but this isn't so. A similar example I can think of would be the Aztecs, who while they did make somewhat extraordinary claims about their origins ultimately believed their own origins were more humble than "descendants of powerful civilizations of yore".

That is true. Once, the Northsea was above sea level. During the ice-age, most of the water was captured in Glaciers and the sea level was very low.The Northsea bassin, which is very shallow, dried out completely. At the end of the ice age, it gradually filled with water coming from the Thames, Rhin, Meuse and Escaut again.

Great video as always but what I will say is how long a group of people experienced a hurricane for says nothing about the hurricane itself, being a Jamaican myself these things are somewhat common place, for other Caribbean nations, because of Jamaica's unique location we experience a hurricane about once a decade despite there being on every summer, and when we do get rainfall sometimes it only last about 3 days due to the hurricane making a U-turn, I say this to say the amount of rainfall experience may just be due to the trajectory and speed of the hurricane.

Noah's FLOOD had to be much larger than the Euphrates/Tigress river basin. The Bible uses the term covered entire Earth to mean thousands-of-miles. It was a continent-wide (size wise) flood. Humanity after living for 100,000 years had to be over a large portion of the Earth. Noah's flood wiped out all of humanity.
How then is it that not only giants survived the flood, great flood stories from around the world survived as well?
🤔 If the flood wiped out all life except for that which was on the ark, then we would have only Noah's flood story left to tell but we have around a hundred great flood stories, I believe, from different cultures around the world.
Love to see where this series goes. I agree that the flood story originates in Bronze Age Mesopotamian oral tradition and not merely a story invented by two different writing groups that got interwoven during the Babylonian exile.
Syn Cloud......HTF do you know? were you there? What were the dinosaurs like? How did the kangaroos and the koala bears get there?
I kinda disagree. It's one thing to say that that different cultures have records of the same historical event (the flood). It's another thing to have them all make an account of a divinely ordained person to survive the flood by way of constructing a boat and bringing all the necessities of life on board. That kind of detail and narrative flow is too specific for me to believe anything other than they originated from the same story.
I think an important thing to consider is the age of the evidence we currently have for the dating of this event. That being the younger dryas of 12800-11500 years ago. At that time, we have evidence humans were making use of early pottery, maybe early agriculture, maybe early basic metal working (as you've said), but the key is that we lack evidence of writing. If settled culture existed in the area at the time; seems pretty likely due to the relatively recent uncovering of sites like Gobekli Tepe and Catalhuyuk in Turkey, hell even Jerhico in Palestine, I think a more likely explanation is that the differences in versions could be chalked up to passing that story down orally among diverging cultures for thousands of years before anyone figured out how to write it down, rather than each culture coming up with the story independantly. What culture, or who came up with the story in the first place and how it diverged into the varying ancient cultural accounts of the fertile crescent is probably lost in time to us due to the inability to trace it back further than the invention of writing.
But, on the plus side, we still have tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets sitting untranslated in various museums around the world that might be able to shed light on it, if we can only get enough people to learn to read them to translate them all.
That piece of the genetic bottleneck of the younger dryas is news to me, I was only aware of the one of 74,000 YA, not one from 12000 YA. Excellent video dude, even if you've failed to convince me, you've still succeeded in making me think. Cheers.
Jesus refered to the Noah and the flood as real
Matthew 24
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Didnt he promise no more floods? Concidering the Mediterranean basin was also flooded after the ice age and also the American mega lake cutting out the Grand Canyon at the same time...was he lying?
No. He wasnt. The flood was global...not local.
Every living thing....not some of it. Not a section of it. All of it. I think you water down the bible. Noah built a Reed ark and saved animals of every kind? Why bother if there is still land above water. Just send them all there. There were other humans alive on the earth? Makes a mockery of the event really? Some judgment if it means others survived outside of Noah and his family. I guess he wasnt the only blameless humans? What about the fossil record? Where does that come from? The geology of the globe totally matched the biblical record. That other versions exist all over the world is testament to its validity because moses wrote genesis much later after the event. The descendants of Noah would have taken the story with them. I dont need to rely on secular authors to prove the bible. It proves itself. You put too much faith in them.
I will trust the words of jesus. He was there when it happened. The flood took them ALL away. Not just the gulf residents.
Nice theory though but just not biblical. That's what happens though when you try to shoehorn secular history into the bible rather than looking at history through Gods word. Il stick with his word.

In Hebrews 11:7, the writer of Hebrews affirmed Noah’s place in what often is called Faith’s Hall of Fame: “By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built and ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.”
The apostle Peter mentioned Noah and the flood in 1 Peter 3:19-22. In this passage he drew parallels between the floodwaters in Noah’s day and the waters of baptism, which symbolize salvation.

This seems cool. It reminds me of an idea that would have came out before the advent of Zoom lenses. 😂
It was a true Biblical story that happened thousands of years ago. It was laid on the mountains of the modern-day Himalayas which is appropriate based on the scriptures. Before the Great Flood, there were no four seasons in the world. Not even a single rain poured out prior to the flood. The climate was very good and dry land was bigger than water. God created an Eden (Water reservoir) in the northern part of the world, that encompassed the four Ancient Rivers such as Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Parat. Noah made his Ark in a dry land area and it was started floating when all the fountains of the world (volcanoes) fired up and it began earthquakes, thunder, tornadoes, cyclones, and typhoons. That was the worst catastrophe that ancient mankind had suffered. After more than 300 days, the water receded and the face of the earth was deformed, even the Garden of Eden in the Eastern part of the world was also nowhere to be found. From their vantage point at one of the highest mountains in the Himalayas (not in Turkey), they were looking for the Ancient four rivers as their marks where to go. They realized that the rivers are no longer seen as it was submerged by the great water. If we're going to drain the oceans, then these four ancient rivers will be visible to our naked eyes. It is called now trenches connected from the north to east, south, and west. If you can find the location of the center of marine biodiversity, then that will be the closest location to the Garden of Eden. The Communist Chinese even made artificial islands in that area as they want to discover something underneath. It is a protected area by UNESCO untouched since the beginning of time. The water on the oceans is the evidence and remains of the Great Flood. Antarctica was then dry but when the weather started to change, it turned into a block of ice that covered the whole of Antarctica as this continent was below sea level. Scientists even discovered fossils of animals, plants, and unknown mammoths underneath the ice. And so scientists had found some fish fossils in the mountains of Himalayas, desert areas in the Middle East, and even in the Grand Canyon.

Interesting evidence on the flood in the Persian gulf area, but completely missed the fact of the much lower sea level during the Ice Age. The cloud was also global since a sudden rise in sea level would be earth wide. The late Ice Age extinction event was caused by a rise in sea level the reached the edges of the ice sheets.

Hey Michael, How is your health man?
The ark couldn’t land on Ararat because it’s north of the flood, but it could have been on the mountains that are still above this flood map in the Urartu mountains, which means that the flood concept here doesn’t add up. Many biases are showing here. But I do love the fact that IP actually pointed out how the flood story in Genesis isn’t a plagiarism but an independent handing down of the same event.
Love IP’s work on the trinity and job among others though.
If the ark found itself on the hills preceding the Uratru mountains, when Noah figured out where he stranded he'd still have referred to the rough geographical region as "Urartu" righy?
I think the Ark landed on a submerged hill of the Zagros Mountains, nearby Urartu.
As stated by the comment above, Noah could have roughly referred to the region as Urartu.
@ÌnspiringPhilosophy I don't mean to sound demeaning because I love the work you do, but have you not heard of the Mesopotamian tradition of kufars, boats made of reeds and bitumen. It's a very old tradition.
That makes no sense if that where the case then Noah would have just migrated to a different area instead of waisting time building an ark

@@jakeetschannel2031 Yes, definitely more than a handfull of cultures with a flood story. The Biblical is not the oldest, but Biblical Abraham did come from Mesopotamia, and he must have brought knowledge of stories. There were different stories of creation, the flood and tower of Babel. When Abraham met God and God brought him out of there, maybe there were also dying versions of the stories and that God made Abraham retell them. Some of Sumerian tradition told man was created as slave for the gods, maybe God saved an old truth, that man was created in God's image to inherit the earth.

Hello IPman.. Nice content 👍🏻
I read something and I liked it, it goes as follows; the reason why different civilisations recall the idea of there being a massive flood was because prophets (sent around the world) taught the story to to bring them closer to God by giving an example of a wrong doing people while also telling history of human kind. And these stories come back whenever there is a flood as a remembrance but the story gets corrupted over time.
These prophets even went to continents like Australia and the Americas that the Israelites didn't know existed?
Seems unlikely.
@@MoonMoverGamingyeah of course all around the world. Israelites didn't have to know just like Hindus didn't know Israelites existed.
