Answers with Ken Ham - Noah’s Flood—It Was Global

This is Ken Ham, founder of the Noah’s Ark attraction Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky. To fit millions of years into Scripture, many Christians argue Noah’s flood was just a local flood. But that’s not what the Bible says! Genesis tells us the water covered all the highest hills “under the entire heavens.” And it emphasizes that every single living thing on land died except those on the ark. The New Testament even repeats this. A local flood wouldn’t cover all the high hills under the heavens, nor could it kill everything on land. Birds could’ve flown away and animals and people could’ve escaped to higher ground. And Noah’s flood lasted over a year! The Bible couldn’t be more clear—this was a worldwide event.
