Believing Noah’s Flood Actually Happened Is NOT Irrational

Learn why believing in God’s Word is NOT irrational, despite what skeptics will tell you. In this video, Simon Turpin dives into 2 Peter 3 to teach us about the scoffers of creation and the flood, and why they’re wrong.
This video is part of a series titled Noah's Ark & The Global Flood. You can watch the rest of the series here: www.Answers.TV/noahs-ark-the-...

"Believing Noah’s Flood Actually Happened Is NOT Irrational" - where promoters of a religion-based pseudoscience engage in the rhetorical charade of trying to pretend that deliberately ignoring all of the results of geological science, geophysics, astronomy, astrophysics, archaeology, and ancient history for the last two hundred years is "NOT irrational." Uh... Yes, that pseudoscience attitude isn't just irrational, it's literally a deliberate embracing of irrational thinking. Indeed, right there on the "Statement of Faith" (religious faith, not science) page on the "Answers In Genesis" (Genesis - religious stories in a religious book, not science) young earth creationism pseudoscience religious organization, we read the following: "No apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field of study, including science, history, and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture obtained by historical-grammatical interpretation." So they have their particular fundamentalist Christian interpretation of some religious stories in a religious book (not science), an interpretation that is rejected by the vast majority of Christians around the world, and they're going to deliberately and arbitrarily ignore any and all scientific facts that contradict their particular religious dogma. That pseudoscience attitude isn't just irrational, it's making the irrational denial of facts one of the core principles of your mindset and building your entire pseudoscience framework on it.

Can you tell me where the chosen people stayed in the ark How did he keep all freshwater fish How did he keep all plants If he was bringing eggs on the ship , how did he know they were female and male How did the pyramids survive being underwater for over a hundred years Mount Zion is not that big. How did he see olny mount and not any other mountain How did a boat last that long in salt water Remember it's all wood How did the elephant stay so calm that they didn't destroy anything How did he keep all disease

well, we struggle to interpret god’s word, as he knows more than us, so i think that god flooded a certain area maybe, not the whole world

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the development of evolution. Lyell's letter to the MP seems, at least to me, reminiscent to C.S. Lewis' "Screwtape Letters", the minister being the character of "Wormwood". It's too bad that the audio on the video could not be coherent enough to use. Dawkins is so "two-dimensional in his thinking. Of course I harken back to"Flatland, a Romance Between Two Dimensions". AIG is such an inspiring source for information (a.k.a. ammunition) in the battle between good and evil. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. God's blessings be upon you!

Thanks to all of you at The Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum for all you do!! It's a blessing to all of us who believe, and it's gives all of the unbelievers something to mock.

[@marcelpenuelatraub2343]

Maybe the humans on the Ark during the flood represent the non-scoffers, and the ones who died were the scoffers.

[@Hqhq-01]

This ridiculous boat model proves nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. In order to prove the story of Noah you need to do it correctly and FINISH THE JOB -- in other words, build an ark that ACTUALLY floats, then go around and ACTUALLY collect 2 of every animal species on earth, then ACTUALLY load them on the ark, then ACTUALLY put the ark in the water, and then actually keep the animals fed and watered for 40 days. Maybe when you can ACTUALLY recreate the ENTIRE story, then I might start to believe but this silly amusement parks proves JACK.

What happened to the passengers on the Ark when the rising flood waters reached the top of Mt. Everest where the oxygen ran out and the temperature plunged below zero? They all died.

[@sandytinky]

The high mountains didn't exist before the flood. They were pushed up (formed) due to violent plate tectonic action during the flood.

[@ambu6478]

How were great mountains like Everest created? It's likely by a cataclysm like a great world wide flood that caused the earth's plates to shift, pushing the earth up to form the mountains we see today.

New King James Version 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Not much chance of them ignoring any of those! To them science is but a meagre folly, they already have all the all answers in the bible. For me religion is like golf, not relevant, doesn't interest me. If people find they enjoy it that's great. However If they become convinced that they have a book written by the creator of the universe proving all supermarkets are really golf courses, that would raise a few concerns, also it maybe a little familiar.

To the Bible haters who like to make mean spirited comments, I will say this : The Bible is just weird, mystical, and outrageous enough to be right. In other words, God resists the proud -- I used to think the Bible was a book of tall tales myself into I was humbled and my eyes were opened by God. Go ahead and make fun of the Bible and believers, but do it knowing that you are revealing your own insecurity and false pride when you do that.
