Genesis, Part 5


Listen Later

Genesis 6 – Animals, continued:
  • God gives instructions about how many animals to bring according to their kind (H4327 – min)
    • After their kind
    • Same phrase as used in Days 3, 5, and 6 to describe plants and animals.
    • Does the application of the phrase “after its kind” support evolution?
    • How did Noah and his family take care of the animals?
      • Hibernation?
      • God told Noah to feed the animals
      • Genesis 7 – God’s flood
        • Noah and his family and the animals go into the ark.
        • When did they go into the ark and when did it start to rain? Is there a discrepancy?
        • Genesis 7 is made up of four paragraphs: Genesis 7:1-5, Genesis 7:6-10, Genesis 7:11-16, and Genesis 7:17-24.
          • The first three contain repeating information about:
            • Noah and his family entering the ark
            • The animals entering the ark
            • The flood coming upon the earth
            • Noah did as God commanded.
            • The fourth paragraph describes what happened to everyone else except Noah and his family.
            • God’s flood was a catastrophic, earth-changing event.
            • If God flooded the entire globe, wouldn’t there be evidence? Acts 17:23-28
            • Absolutely! If we can show people the evidence, then we can teach the truth.
              • Thomas in John 20:24
              • Existing physical evidence
                • Hydrology and hydraulics
                • Landforms
                • Geology
                • Evidence of God’s power
                  • Mount St. Helens volcano
                  • How could 40 days and 40 nights of rain flood the entire earth?
                  • What did the earth look like before the flood?
                    • Supercontinent?
                    • Mountains?
                    • Canyons?
                    • Ocean depth?
                    • How much water?
                      • We estimate there is currently 332.5 million cubic miles of water on earth.
                      • If we assume a pre-flood average mountain height of 5300 ft., this would require about 335.3 million cubic miles of water, which is within about one percent of the current estimated total.
