When we opened our full-size Noah’s Ark in 2016, a small group of atheists protested, holding up signs with slogans like “genocide park.”

But was the flood really an evil “genocide” like so many skeptics claim?

Not at all. The Bible tells us that at the time of the flood, all that people were doing was evil all the time—that’s actually all they even thought about doing! We can’t even imagine what that world must’ve been like.

God then judged those people with a flood because he is holy and just. He’d given them many years to repent, and they didn’t. So he judged their sin, offering a way of mercy.
