Genesis 6 – Animals, continued:
God gives instructions about how many animals to bring according to their kind (H4327 – min)After their kindSame 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 animalsGenesis 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 arkThe animals entering the arkThe flood coming upon the earthNoah 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 17:23-28Absolutely! If we can show people the evidence, then we can teach the truth.Thomas in John 20:24Existing physical evidenceHydrology and hydraulicsLandformsGeologyEvidence of God’s powerMount St. Helens volcanoHow 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.
