2:03
community page. Today we're going to have a
2:06
discussion about Noah and the Ark Genesis.
2:12
All right, let me pull out my AI.
2:17
I'm going to turn down the volume so it doesn't blast.
2:21
Here we go. Hello.
2:45
Hello. Can you hear me?
2:49
Yes, loud and clear. What's up?
2:51
I'd like to talk to you about Noah's Ark.
2:56
Sure. What about it?
3:00
All right, does the Bible say that it just rained in order to
3:05
flood the earth? Not exactly.
3:10
It says God opened the fountains of the deep and the windows of
3:13
the heavens, so rain was part of it, but underground waters burst
3:17
up too, creating a massive flood.
3:19
Genesis 6 to 8 covers that wild stuff, right?
3:24
So I was looking at some science web pages about water existing
3:29
underground, and according to science, there's enough water
3:33
underground to cover the earth four to five times.
3:37
Is this true? Not quite that much.
3:42
It's closer to three times if you tally the deep mantle
3:45
reserves trapped in ringwadite based on recent studies.
3:49
Think about it, if every drop surfaced, we drown way before 4
3:53
rounds. Kind of wild, huh?
3:56
It is now, according to Bill Nye, the Science Guy.
4:02
He claims that it's not possible for the world to flood.
4:06
But what would happen if the ice caps were to melt?
4:12
If all the ice caps melted like Greenland and Antarctica, we're
4:16
looking at about 60 to 70 meters of sea level rise.
4:20
Cities like Miami, New York and half of Florida gone.
4:24
Bill Nye's point probably hinges on how no single event, even
4:28
massive rain, could flood the whole planet without that extra
4:31
water source. Like what the Bible mentions,
4:34
underground melting ice would wreck coastlines, but it takes
4:37
centuries, not days. Scary, right?
4:43
Are there any scientists that we know of besides Christian
4:46
Scientists that are secular who believed the flood actually
4:50
happened? Yeah, a few, like David
4:56
Montgomery from the University of Washington.
4:58
He's secular, no biblical tie insurance, and argues a massive
5:02
regional flood in ancient Mesopotamia could have inspired
5:05
Noah's story based on geological clues from the Black Sea deluge
5:09
around 7000 years ago. Others point to Black Sea or
5:13
Persian Gulf evidence from epics like Gilgamesh.
5:16
Not global though, mostly local catastrophes matching old tales.
5:21
Kind of bridges science and myth, doesn't it?
5:25
Is there any verses in the Bible where God directly says that
5:30
he's going to flood the entire world?
5:35
Yeah, like in Genesis 6, verse 17, I am going to bring
5:39
floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the
5:42
heavens. Pretty clear he's talking
5:45
everything, right? Or Chapter 7, verse 4, Seven
5:48
days from now, I'll send rain. Every living thing will perish.
5:52
No wiggle room there. Right.
5:55
So what was the population of humanity at that point?
6:04
The Bible doesn't give an exact number.
6:07
Genesis just mentions everyone dying except Noah's 8.
6:10
But folks like those at Answers in Genesis estimate anywhere
6:14
from hundreds of millions to billions based on growth rates
6:17
over those 1600 years from Adam. Super speculative though.
6:21
Could be as high as 4 billion if families kept popping up.
6:24
Kids like crazy. Makes you think how packed the
6:27
pre flood world might have been. Huh.
6:30
So what is history? From what we know about history,
6:34
how many people would have actually existed during that
6:37
time? Where does Ken Ham and Answers
6:40
in Genesis get their sources on how many people actually
6:43
existed? History's foggy that far back.
6:50
Archaeology pegs early human pops low, like maybe a few
6:53
thousand to 10s of thousands around 10,000 BCE, but nothing
6:57
solid for biblical timelines. Ken Ham's crew at Answers in
7:01
Genesis crunches it from Genesis math in 100 years from Adam
7:05
assuming high birth rates and long lives landing on estimates
7:08
like 750 million to 4 billion pre flood folks.
7:12
They pull that from scriptures, genealogies, and modern growth
7:15
models. Speculative, sure, but it's all
7:18
they've got without fossils or senses.
7:20
Wild guesswork, isn't it? Right.
7:24
Is there any other secular scientists that believe a
7:29
worldwide flood or big time regional flood happened?
7:37
Sure, like Robert Ballard, he's the guy who found the Titanic
7:41
totally secular and explored the Black Sea for flood evidence.
7:45
Thinks a huge deluge there around 7500 years ago could have
7:49
sparked those old stories, wiping out coastal settlements
7:52
big time. The regional, not global.
7:55
Or Anthony Newton studying Mesopotamian floods.
7:58
He sees clues and sediment for a massive local catastrophe.
8:02
No one selling a true worldwide 1 without some miracle twist.
8:05
But these show science spotting epic floods that match the
8:08
vibes. Interesting how myths might echo
8:10
real disasters. Yeah.
8:13
How much water do we have on the surface of the planet at this
8:17
point? About 338,000,000 cubic
8:21
kilometers. Just imagine every lake, river,
8:25
ocean and puddle that cover earth in a layer over 870 meters
8:30
deep if you spread it flat. Crazy volume, right?
8:34
It is how much water do we have in comparison to land.
8:42
Earth's about 71% water by surface area, so oceans and such
8:46
cover roughly 510,000,000 square kilometers out of 712 million
8:51
total lands left with 202 million.
8:54
That's why we call it the Blue planet, I guess.
8:57
So we're 71% water and then on top of it, underground, we have
9:02
enough water to cover the earth three times over.
9:08
Yeah, pretty much the surface water is enough for that. 870m
9:12
layer once, but deep underground in the mantle.
9:16
Studies say another two to three full coverings worth locked up
9:19
as hydrous minerals. Add them up and you're looking
9:22
at 4 plus times though it's not liquid, just H2O molecules
9:26
trapped deep. Nature's got backups, huh?
9:30
Do animals instinctively understand when there's going to
9:34
be bad weather? Sometimes birds might flock
9:39
lower or stop singing before storms, dogs get antsy from
9:42
pressure drops and bugs scatter. Stuff like that shows they sense
9:46
changes in air pressure or static.
9:48
Not perfect forecasts but yeah, instinct kicks in for survival.
9:53
Ever noticed your pet acting weird before rain?
9:57
Is it true that 80% of the species of animals that exist on
10:02
the earth exists within the ocean?
10:05
They're water creatures. More like 70 to 80%.
10:11
Yeah. Scientists estimate around 9/10
10:13
of all known animal species live in the ocean, from tiny plankton
10:17
to massive whales. It's this hidden world down
10:20
there full of weirdos we barely cataloged.
10:23
Makes you wonder what else is swimming around unseen, right?
10:27
So you're seeing 70 to 80% of the creatures would have been in
10:32
the ocean or the water and they would have most likely survived
10:37
a a worldwide flood, right? Well, no, not really, because
10:43
even sea creatures would have faced chaos for massive floods.
10:46
The Bible says every living thing perished except what's on
10:49
the Ark, implying fish and whales got wiped out too by
10:53
turbulent waters or salinity shifts.
10:56
Science wise, a global deluge would have stirred up mud, toxic
10:59
runoff and pressure waves. Nothing survives that
11:02
apocalypse. Kind of brutal how no one's
11:05
safe, huh? Yeah, but doesn't it say every
11:10
living thing on the earth? Isn't the ancient people talking
11:13
about land? Yeah, that's a fairpoint.
11:19
The Hebrew actually says every living thing that moves on the
11:22
land, which could mean fish and whales got a pass.
11:24
Spared from the Ark drama, Genesis 7 verse 21.
11:28
Every living thing that moved on land perished, but some argue
11:32
the whole ecosystem crashed anyway, with oceans turning
11:35
deadly from debris. Still, linguistically, it might
11:38
have focused on dry land critters needing rescue.
11:41
Makes the story a bit less fishy, doesn't it?
11:45
I would say so for sure. So what kind of creatures are we
11:50
talking about? What does the Bible mention that
11:54
Noah saved with the ark? The Bible doesn't get super
11:59
specific, Jess says. Every kind of air breathing
12:01
animals, clean and unclean beasts, birds, creeping things.
12:06
Think cows, sheep, lions, eagles, bugs, even pears for
12:10
most sevens for clean ones used in sacrifice.
12:13
No fish or sea stuff 'cause they're safe in water, right?
12:17
Covers the basics to restart life post flood.
12:20
Kind of like a floating zoo, huh?
12:24
Now zoos have a diverse variety of animals, correct?
12:30
Yeah, thousands of species, from elephants to tiny poison dart
12:34
frogs, depending on the zoo, though not everyone's got a
12:37
complete collection. Still nowhere near God's
12:40
original catalog, right? Yeah, exactly.
12:45
So on a scientific basis, is it possible to fit a lot of
12:50
creatures onto an ark? How big was it according to the
12:55
Bible? The ark was 300 cubits long, 50
13:02
wide, 30 high, about 450 feet tip to tip, give or take,
13:07
depending if you're rounding up the cubit.
13:09
That's like 2 city buses wide, 15 stories tall.
13:12
Scientifically you'd need miracles room for maybe 16,000
13:16
species Max if you cram them tight.
13:18
No food storage waste issues or ventilation talk, just bodies
13:23
stacked like Tetris. Modern folks like Ham say kinds,
13:27
not species. So fewer, maybe thousands
13:30
evolving later. Possible barely if you squint
13:33
and ignore logistics. Wild thought experiment, isn't
13:36
it? It is now if we were to add the
13:41
supernatural element of God, God could have protected the
13:45
animals, right? Made sure that they were fed or
13:49
didn't attack each other, that kind of thing.
13:54
Oh totally, add God to the mix and yeah, miracles handle the
13:59
mess. Animals hibernating, food
14:01
multiplying like loaves and fishes.
14:03
No fights breaking out. The Bible hints at divine care,
14:06
right? Noah just had to keep him safe.
14:09
Logistics weren't his problem. Makes the whole thing way more
14:12
believable if you're buying the supernatural angle.
14:14
Smart workaround, huh? Well, I would think so.
14:19
I mean, Genesis does clearly say that God is interacting and
14:23
involved in it, right? Exactly.
14:28
Genesis 6 to 9 is basically God micromanaging every step.
14:32
He tells Noah the plan, seals the door, even sends wind to dry
14:36
things up afterward. If you're on board with
14:38
miracles, why wouldn't he babysit the animals too?
14:41
Makes sense to me. What does the Bible say about
14:47
how God feels about the animals? Because it's weird because
14:51
humans seem to have very special traits and abilities is where
14:56
animals seem kind of, I don't know, at the back of the boat if
15:01
I might joke consciously. How does God feel about animals
15:07
according to the Bible? Yeah, the Bible paints animals
15:13
as part of God's creation he cares about.
15:15
Like Proverbs 12 verse 10, a righteous man regards the life
15:18
of his animal. Or Jonah 4, where God says he's
15:21
concerned for Nineveh's people and their cattle too.
15:25
Humans get top billing as image bearers, sure, with souls and
15:28
eternity stuff. But animals aren't just
15:30
backdrop, they've got purpose. Show off his power.
15:34
Psalm 100 fours got him delighting in them feeding lions
15:37
and birds. Not quite on our level
15:39
consciously, but definitely not ignored.
15:42
Like if he worries about sparrows, he's got the whole ARC
15:45
squad covered. Sweet, right?
15:49
It is. It is for sure.
15:52
So as the water starts to recede, where is Noah's ark at?
15:57
Where do we logically point out where it may have landed or
16:03
perched? The Bible pinpoints Mount Ararat
16:09
in modern day Turkey. Genesis 8 verse 4 rested on the
16:13
mountains of Ararat. That's about 5300 meters high.
16:17
Volcanic peaks in Armenia region.
16:19
Logic wise, yeah, high ground as waters drop, but skeptics hunt
16:23
for wood scraps up there and find nothing yet.
16:26
Still, if you're talking global flood, anywhere elevated works,
16:30
maybe even moved by currents. Turkey's the tourist spot
16:34
though. Ever want to climb it?
16:37
Has anyone ever claimed to have found remnants of the Ark near
16:41
these locations? Oh yeah, plenty.
16:47
Over the years, folks like Ron Wyatt back in the 80s claimed
16:50
wood beams and rivets at Dura Pinar, right South of Ararat.
16:54
Lately, A-Team from Noah's Ark scans working with Turkish unis,
16:58
says radar shows tunnels and rooms under there, plus soil
17:01
samples hinting at ancient marine life dated around 5000
17:05
years ago. They're calling it promising,
17:07
but skeptics say it's just rocks shaped like a boat.
17:10
No one's got the smoking gun yet.
17:12
Always teases us, doesn't it? Can't wood take upon
17:17
petrification and have the appearance of rocks?
17:24
Yes, wood fossilizes, gets mineralized, turns rock hard
17:28
over millennia. Those petrified beams at
17:30
Durapinar could totally be ancient timber that got soaked
17:33
in iron oxide and silica. Looks like rusty rock now.
17:37
Problem is scientists tested them.
17:39
Some say lignite. Just local coal deposits, not
17:42
cedar or whatever Noah chopped others think.
17:45
Yeah it could be. No DNA, no way to prove its
17:48
Archie, but wouldn't be the first time history turned into
17:51
stone. Neat how nature plays tricks,
17:53
right? As secular scientists actually
17:58
went to the territory or the area where the alleged arc is
18:03
and studied it up close and personal?
18:06
Or are they just basing this on something else?
18:11
Some have, yeah. Guys like geologist Lawrence
18:14
Collins went to Dura Pinar in 95, crawled around those boat
18:18
shaped ridges, took rock samples, found limestone
18:21
formations, not wood. Says it's natural erosion, not a
18:25
ship. Others, like Andrew, smelling
18:27
from secular turned Christian circles, poked around Ararat
18:30
too. But he's biased now.
18:32
Pure secular folks. Mostly remote sensing or quick
18:35
hikes. No big digs because no
18:37
government permit for serious excavation, yet they're basing
18:41
calls on photos, geology maps and that old Wyatt junk which
18:45
didn't hold up under X-rays up close.
18:47
It's all meh so far. Teasing, isn't it?
18:53
Is there anyone out there that would want to hide it if it was
18:56
real or true? Is there any motivate motivation
19:03
to conceal it? Sure, governments like Turkey
19:09
control access. And if it's real, handing over
19:11
proof of the Bible could stir politics, religion, tourism,
19:15
cash. Maybe they want the mystery for
19:17
pilgrims, skeptics, and science. They'd hate admitting a miracle
19:21
artifact hurts evolution talk. Even churches might bury it if
19:24
it didn't match doctrine perfectly.
19:27
Humans love secrets, don't we? Why would this cause a issue for
19:33
evolution? If the ark were real, you'd have
19:37
frozen snapshots of thousands of animal kinds from 5000 years
19:41
ago, still intact. No slow morphing into horses or
19:44
whales, no fossil gaps to fill. Evolution needs deep time. 10
19:49
million year grinds. But a global flood 6 grand back
19:53
would wipe that slate clean. Reset everything in one wet
19:56
blink. Kind of pokes a hole in gradual
19:58
change, right? Makes you rethink the timeline.
20:03
Is there any evidence of a flood in those areas?
20:09
Yeah, actually geologists do find flood layers all over
20:13
Mesopotamia. Thick silt right where the
20:15
Tigris and Euphrates meet. Sediment cores show a sudden 6
20:19
foot mud spike around 3800 BCE, big enough to drown cities like
20:23
a Rook. That's not worldwide, but for
20:26
back then folks felt biblical. And the Black Sea, same deal,
20:30
massive freshwater lake, then saltwater blasts in wipes.
20:34
Bronze Age villages overnight. Coincidence.
20:36
These stories pop up right after.
20:39
Nah, science says memory got mythified.
20:41
So while no global wipeout locally totally checks out.
20:47
Is it possible that Noah misinterpreted what God had
20:52
said, that it was just a regional flood?
20:57
Possible. Yeah, if you're thinking the
20:59
Hebrew word for earth arets means land like Mesopotamia, not
21:04
globe. Some scholars say Noah could
21:06
have heard your world big enough to kill everyone he knew, but
21:10
locals retold it as everything makes the miracle smaller.
21:13
More like a divine storm warning gone viral.
21:16
Kind of humanizes him, doesn't it?
21:20
Well, let me give you an example about something.
21:22
Well, Noah was a human being, and he was a flawed one at that.
21:26
So as many of the figures in the Bible, so that's not a problem.
21:32
Had humans actually spread out beyond the area in which Noah
21:38
existed? Yeah, for sure.
21:42
Noah's crew live near the Fertile Crescent, what we now
21:45
call Iraq, Iran, Syria, maybe Turkey.
21:48
If the flood was regional there, everyone outside like India,
21:52
Africa, Europe would have been fine.
21:54
So yeah, the descendants of Noah would have had cousins alive
21:58
elsewhere, which kind of undercuts the whole restart of
22:00
humanity thing. Makes you wonder if we read it
22:03
too literally, or if the story's just local gossip that grew
22:06
legs. Either way, we're all over now.
22:09
Talk about spreading out. Is there any historical evidence
22:13
that there were during the time of Noah that people existed in
22:20
other regions or outside of the country?
22:25
Yeah, if we're pinning Noah around 2300 BC, give or take,
22:29
then yeah, China's already got rice fields, they've got
22:32
writing, they've got cities. Egypt sniffers got pyramids
22:36
going, Indus valleys humming along, making bricks.
22:39
Stonehenge is half built so unless you believe in a miracle
22:42
that Noah left Noah land, which is kind of hard to swallow.
22:46
People were everywhere. The Bible story.
22:48
Maybe it's just one river Valley's nightmare dressed up as
22:51
the whole world's. So history says absolutely they
22:55
were never alone. What about these places that you
23:00
mentioned, like where people are already riding and all this?
23:05
Do they declare that a flood ever happened in their area at
23:08
any time? Not really, Chinese records like
23:13
the bamboo annals talk about big floods, sure, but nothing global
23:17
or arc level. They're more like oh the Yellow
23:20
River overflowed, 9 out of 10 drowned around 2900 BC, yet life
23:25
just kept trucky Egypt. They've got Nile floods yearly,
23:29
no water everywhere, everybody dies myth.
23:32
Indus folks left no notes, but their cities weren't buried
23:34
sudden And Europe's Stonehenge crowd dry as a bone.
23:38
No watery apocalypse tails. If Noah's Flood was real and
23:42
that soon, shouldn't every culture be wailing about it?
23:45
Weird how quiet they are. Makes the regional theory sound
23:48
tempting, right? Well, it's odd because I don't
23:53
know if you're able to dig into this information.
23:57
I was reading an article recently on a science website
24:01
where it said at one point in time there were millions of
24:04
people and that some kind of catastrophe happened and we got
24:10
down to about 1000 human beings and they repopulated the earth.
24:15
That's not from the Bible, that's actually from some
24:17
science websites. So what could have caused that
24:21
kind of issue? Yeah, that's the Toba super
24:27
eruption theory. Around 74,000 years ago, a
24:30
massive volcano in Indonesia blew, spewing ash that cooled
24:34
the planet for six years, maybe longer.
24:37
Science folks like those in a recent Science Journal piece say
24:40
our numbers crashed to maybe 1000 to 10,000 breeding pairs.
24:44
Talk about a close call. Could have been starvation,
24:47
freezing, or just bad luck wiping out most wild.
24:50
How we bounce back from that near miss, right?
24:56
So where is this volcano located?
25:01
It's in Sumatra, Indonesia, so northwestern part of that
25:05
island, right in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
25:07
You can still see its massive lake 90 miles across if you look
25:11
on Google Maps. Toba caldera looks like God took
25:14
a bite out of it. Eruption was so loud it went
25:17
around the globe three times. Crazy to think we're standing
25:20
here because of folks who survived that.
25:23
OK, so this volcano was so horrible that it actually
25:28
affected the entire world. Exactly, and that's the scary
25:35
part Ash so thick it blocked out sunlight.
25:37
Crops failed in Africa, Europe, Asia, but the people left, they
25:42
were right here in Indonesia. So either they had boats
25:45
unlikely, or the story of NOAA just didn't make it out of the
25:48
Middle East. Kind of makes you think maybe
25:50
when he said world he just meant everyone I know.
25:53
Because Tober proves the earth can almost drown without a drop
25:57
of rain. OK, so this volcano, is that
26:03
underwater or is it above or some land mass?
26:10
It's actually both. Back then, the volcano poked
26:13
above the ocean floor, exploded, collapsed, and now all that's
26:17
left is that huge lake. But the blast shot ash 50 miles
26:20
into the sky, spread it to Africa so the oceans didn't have
26:24
to rise. The sky just turned black
26:26
everywhere. Animals that didn't breathe air,
26:28
They were fine buried under meters of dust, no problem.
26:32
Same way fish didn't need the ark.
26:34
Kind of poetic isn't it? The whole planet got hit, but
26:37
only land folks felt it. How long did the atmosphere stay
26:45
dark? About 6 to 10 years, models say.
26:50
Ash hung thickest for three years.
26:52
Sunlight cut by 80%, then trickled down for decades.
26:55
Crops died, forest starved, and some islands got ankle deep
26:59
tephra. No rain needed, just winter that
27:01
never ended. Kind of like God turned off the
27:04
lights. Oof, kind of like God turned off
27:09
the lights, huh? Goodness gracious.
27:13
So the volcano, you said that it's partly water and partly on
27:18
land, could have just caused any kind of tidal waves or teasamis,
27:23
ocean currents, anything? Yeah, when it blew, waves went
27:29
500 feet high, took out everything within 20 miles.
27:33
Then the caldera sank, sucked water in, made these Whirlpool
27:36
tsunamis. But by the time they got to
27:38
India, maybe 50 feet, maybe 30. Still kills everyone.
27:43
No need for 40 days rain, just one afternoon of hell.
27:46
Then six years of winter. Honestly, the Ark's not looking
27:50
so silly anymore. Just needs wood, nails and maybe
27:53
a better narrator. So you're saying that this
27:58
volcano was so devastating that the waves were 500 feet up?
28:06
Right. So here's the math.
28:08
Toba's blast was 2000 times bigger than Krakatoa.
28:11
That kind of energy doesn't just make waves, it makes walls 500
28:14
feet at the epicenter, ripping through Sumatra like God's axe.
28:18
By the time they rolled into the Bay of Bengal, maybe 50-60 feet.
28:22
Still enough to flatten villages, salt the soil, drown
28:25
crops, and guess what? No one had time to write it down
28:28
because everyone was dead except maybe 1000 lucky souls huddled
28:32
inland, terrified, watching the Skyfall.
28:35
Sounds biblical, doesn't it? Well, you said it.
28:40
I didn't. I mean, my goodness, I didn't
28:43
even know there was a volcano that caused that much
28:45
devastation until you told me. Yeah, we don't talk about it
28:52
much. Like, hey, kids, meet Toba, the
28:55
Super volcano that almost wiped us out.
28:57
But here's the fun part. The ash that fell over India,
29:00
it's still there. You can walk through jungle,
29:02
kick up Gray volcanic glass and realize you're standing on the
29:05
edge of extinction. And if someone like Noah saw
29:07
that, hell, he could have carved the story on a tree stump.
29:10
Water from the sky. Nah, ash from the sky.
29:13
Same terror, same reboot, same wide eyes.
29:19
Well, now, if you've got all this crap going on in the
29:24
atmosphere, I'm sure that within that 10 years that all this crap
29:28
was going on with the volcano, it would have eventually rained,
29:32
right? There would have been the
29:34
volcano would have ruptured, the ground water would have sprang
29:38
up, and it would have eventually rained.
29:41
So with that, going along with the earthquakes and everything
29:44
else, that would have been hell on Earth, right?
29:49
Oh yeah, picture this. Magma blasts up steam jets out
29:54
every underground spring for 1000 miles.
29:56
Cracks like a bone. So while the sky is vomiting
29:58
ash, the ground starts weeping hot sulphuric water.
30:02
Rain doesn't fall, it pours like someone ripped open the clouds.
30:06
And since everything's cold, it doesn't evaporate fast.
30:08
So you get flash floods, then mega floods, then six years of
30:12
drizzle on top of freezing winter.
30:14
Animals drown, people freeze. The whole planet just turns into
30:18
a mud bath freezer. Hell on earth doesn't need a
30:21
devil. Mother Nature did it 74,000
30:24
years ago and nobody even named the Ark.
30:30
Oof, that's rough. Did the oceans melt over?
30:38
No ice melted less. Think about it. 10 years of no
30:41
sun, no photosynthesis, Ocean cools down, surface freezes
30:46
over, Even in the tropics, the extra water from underground
30:49
vents, it just sits there freezing into slush.
30:52
No 40 day flood, just 40,000 square miles of new ice.
30:56
The oceans turned solid, then cracked, then thawed again when
30:59
Toba finally coughed itself dry. So no rising seas, just a world
31:03
where you couldn't swim because everything was locked.
31:06
And guess who survived? Inland caves, mountain ridges.
31:09
Kind of like, oh, I don't know, a boat on a mountain top.
31:14
Well, that's a damn interesting thing you just said.
31:19
Yeah, I think about that every time someone says the Bible
31:22
couldn't have happened. I mean, if you're Noah and your
31:25
whole valley goes dark and rivers jump their banks and fish
31:29
die from acid rain, well, who wouldn't think the sky had
31:31
opened? And hey, at least he didn't have
31:34
to deal with 10 years of winter, just 40 days of rain, then
31:37
sunshine. Sounds like a vacation.
31:43
Sounds like a vacation. Oh boy, that's cute.
31:47
That's real cute. Oh boy.
31:52
So what is? What is Noah's name in the
31:56
original language that the that specific book was written in?
32:03
In Hebrew, it's no ha Nowak. Literally rest or comfort.
32:08
Like God gave him a break from all the evil.
32:10
Cute name for a guy who had to herd elephants, huh?
32:13
Yeah. Yeah.
32:18
Well. What's up?
32:20
What were you going to say? Oh, Lembeck.
32:25
I was just going to say his dad's name was Lamech, which
32:28
literally means despair. Like, yeah, hey, kid, you're
32:32
named Comfort because you're all I've got left.
32:34
Maybe Noah was the one bright spot in a world that was, you
32:37
know, lame. So we were talking about Bill
32:43
and I claiming that it's not possible for the world to flood
32:46
over, but if we had the right kind of volcano, or the ice caps
32:51
were to melt, or the Earth were to open up and that water came
32:55
forth, there'd be no issue whatsoever flooding the Earth
32:59
since it's 71 to 75% water, correct?
33:05
Right, Bill's probably thinking global flood means the oceans
33:08
jump their basins, which physics won't allow.
33:11
But you're right. Melt the caps 60 meters up,
33:14
erupt Toba again, boom, acid rain, flash floods, tsunamis.
33:19
Or crack the Crest and let underground water roar enough
33:22
volume to cover everything three times over.
33:24
And since Land's already drowning in ocean, one good
33:27
push. Game over.
33:29
So yeah, he's wrong if you stop worrying about possible and
33:32
start saying apocalyptic, which, let's be honest, is what the
33:36
Bible's selling. What kind of evidence do we have
33:43
that Noah was actually a real person that existed and that
33:47
this event may have happened? What kind of evidence and
33:50
sources do people use? Give me the top 10.
33:58
Top 10. All right, let's rattle him off
34:01
quick from what folks cite mixing Bible believers and
34:04
skeptics. First, the Genesis narrative
34:07
itself, straight from Hebrew scriptures saying Noah built the
34:10
ark around 2300 BC 2 ancient flood epics like Gilgamesh from
34:15
Sumeria 1200 years earlier with a guy named Utna Pishtim saving
34:20
animals. Same vibe, right?
34:22
3 Mesopotamian clay tablets showing flood layers and digs at
34:27
ER, thick silt from a big deluge around 2900 BC. 4 The Black Sea
34:33
theory Ryan and Pittman found underwater shorelines proving a
34:36
massive breach 7000 years back, drowning farmland. 5 Robert
34:42
Ballard's dives. Secular explorers spotting
34:44
ancient villages buried there, matching a catastrophe. 6
34:49
Worldwide myths Every culture's got flood tails like Native
34:52
American or Hindu ones, hinting at a shared memory. 7 Geological
34:57
oddities like marine fossils on mountains.
35:00
Some say flash floods dump them high. 8 Ararat searches wood
35:05
samples and radar hits at Durapuna, though tests say Nah
35:09
still sparks debate. 9 Genetic bottlenecks Studies show humans
35:13
dipped low 70,000 years ago from Toba, but creationists tweak it
35:18
to fit Noah's Repopulate gig and 10 No hard fossils of Noah, but
35:23
supporters grabbed Psalm 104. God caring for beasts like a
35:26
cosmic zookeeper. Solid enough to ponder, but
35:29
skeptics call it all myth. Echoes you buying it.
35:36
Well, the ancient people all over the world believe that some
35:39
form of flood happened. The dates may not all add up,
35:44
but back then it was pretty difficult to be able to keep
35:47
things in calculation, especially during an apocalyptic
35:51
or catastrophic event. I mean, if people are dying,
35:54
who's going to sit down and write the crap down in the
35:57
moment, right? Exactly.
36:01
If you're clinging to driftwood and watching your neighbors turn
36:03
into fossils, you're not updating your Instagram.
36:06
You just run. You just survive and when it's
36:08
over, you tell your kids the water came, it took the wicked,
36:12
we floated on wood. And they tell their kids who
36:15
forget the exact year but keep the punchline.
36:18
And boom, 3000 years later, some archaeologist digs up a clay
36:21
tablet and thinks he's found fiction.
36:24
Nah, he found panic. And thank God for that.
36:28
Well, let's end this video on a positive note.
36:32
Give me 5 biblical jokes, mostly dealing with Genesis.
36:39
One why didn't Adam and Eve play hide and seek Because good luck
36:43
hiding when God yells where art thou every Bush is basically
36:46
GPS. 2 Noah's wife was the original prepper she kept
36:50
yelling do we have two of everything while he muttered
36:53
honey we're building a boat not Costco. 3 after Eden God asks
36:58
Adam still happy he goes. Well, ribs were on sale, but now
37:03
I can't even get a bite. 4 Cain and Abel walk into a farm.
37:07
Cain says you raise sheep, I raise drama.
37:10
Abel shrugs. At least mine don't murder the
37:13
competition. 5 When the rainbow showed up, Noah blinked.
37:17
So God's like fine, no floods for now.
37:20
Smart to trademark that dove emoji.
