Answers with Ken Ham - How’d We Get to the Americas?

This is Ken Ham, author of the newly updated and expanded book, One Blood. Many scientists have assumed the very first settlers to arrive in the Americas had to go over the land, crossing land bridges, because they believe ancient man was too primitive to sail to the coast. But now researchers are re-thinking this assumption. Many now think the evidence in North and South America suggests some people long ago did sail to the Americas to start new settlements. This fits with what we’d expect from the Bible. Noah and his sons were obviously shipbuilders and might’ve passed this skill on. Some of the people who left Babel probably left by boat as they began to explore this new world. Dig Deeper Coming to America by Boat Feedback: You Need a Dumb 900-Year-Old Man to Build the Ark
