Did Plate Tectonics Cause the Global Flood? | The Creation Podcast: Episode 17

Can plate tectonics explain how the Flood happened? How does subduction work? And do plate tectonics fit the biblical account of the Flood?
Host Ivana Semidey and ICR Research Scientist and Geologist Dr. Tim Clarey discuss how plate tectonics provides a scientific explanation for the mechanism at work during the Global Flood in Episode 17 of The Creation Podcast.

[@yeshuaisjoshua]

The Hebrew Bible is historical fiction, yhwh is a fictional character.

[@cousinbryan3007]

I studied geology in college and it never really made sense and it wasn't very interesting until I learned the connection between what we can observe and the flood in Genesis. Rock on!

[@icrscience]

Thanks for the comment, Cousin Bryan. And nice pun. ;-)

[@MtnManLucas]

I was an Earth Science major in college, and took every Geology class offered. Of course I followed the secular “gradualism “ teaching, but never dismissed the Biblical story of the Great Flood. Because of my Eschatological studies I now totally embrace, and espouse, the Genesis account of the Great Flood, and how rapid movement of the Crustal Plates were a great part of the Flood. I would add that the huge amount of Steam (condensing into snow) from the volcanic cracking of the Oceans floor created The Ice Age.

[@dav1djac0b]

Volcanic cracking? The ice age? Crustal plates? All faithbased unbiblical nonsense.

[@patrickgragg5602]

And of course Earth science taught you that we live on a globe spinning through outer space as well, not so according to Genesis 1 verses 1 through 10 go ahead and look those up and think about it! We live on the Dryland separated from the waters, not a globe

[@waynemorellini2110]

Of course some people know science, evidence and can observe.

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Podcast 17 with me .

[@mdlong2620]

I've always been a fan of ICR and have been with them almost since the beginning. I always remember reading Acts & Facts when in bible college and being amazed with the evidence presented for the flood. Though I've never doubted the Bible's account it was great to know there was evidence to back it up. I support ICR and I've really enjoyed these recent podcasts. It has been great to hear from the scientists that are part of the organization. They are so intelligent and definitely know their stuff. I know this has been a long comment, but thank you! Keep these coming!

[@jaywill1978]

Thanks guys!! Keep the content coming!

[@crystalclearwindowcleaning3458]

That's exciting to learn that subduction occured rapidly during the flood. That makes much more sense than the slowly over millions of years as an explanation for mountain building and folding mud layers and metamorphism.

[@creationwt]

Glad you brought your program back. I also pick it up on I-Tunes. Thank you

[@nojuice457]

I like hydroplate theory.

[@avechristusrex31]

Personally I believe in a combination of Dr Walter Brown’s Hydroplate Theory and Dr John Baumgardner’s CPT theory. The Hydroplate theory sure explains the first 40 days of relentless rain and the kick starting of CPT. Thanks for this video and God bless your ministry.

[@kathyjohnson8256]

Is it possible, also, that the mountains pre-flood were not 10s of thousands of feet high so it wouldn't take as much water to cover the highest mountain?

[@m.r.reeceabob8480]

Yes the preflood mountains were probably not tens of thousands of feet high. Although, there was still a massive amount of water on the earth to cover absolutely everything. The mountains we see today were likely formed after the flood. This is backed up because we see marine fossils on the highest mountains where sea creatures would never be- a global flood creation view would solve this easily.

[@MtnManLucas]

The Crystal Plates slamming into one another helped create the tall mountain ranges we see today.

[@jimcricket1]

I saw another study with thermal imaging showing 200 miles or so of a subduction plate that is still much colder than than the surrounding molten rock, proving that the plate went under fast and recently.

[@johnguill6129]

We need a good and trustworthy video showing the crust and mantle shifts. A visual aid along with audible description is very helpful.

[@rramirez3555]

Thanks so much for this excellent pod cast

[@JL-qo7cs]

What about the vapor canopy as being a source of the rain or something? I would have liked to have heard him say something about this.

[@skepticalfaith5201]

BTW, It would have been clouds, not vapor. The state change from vapor to liquid is exothermic and would have released way too much heat.

[@ktrimbach5771]

⁠​⁠@@skepticalfaith5201 even more so in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, the water would be very cold - possibly even ice. This endothermic reaction would have turned a globally tropical planet into the ice age we have not really recovered from.

[@rosalindphilips2784]

Wonderful explanation!

[@deanweaver4469]

I pray more share and find this Channel 😊🎉❤

[@haroldreed2875]

i wish she had asked what started the plates to moving. It seems like there must have been a tipping point and something caused the crust to break and start subducting at one location and start rising at another point to create new crust.

[@katlyn214]

I've been reading about Grand Solar Minimum s and their effect on the World as a whole. Increase in earthquakes is just one.

[@nojuice457]

hydroplate theory, check it out.

[@alanpfeiffer9686]

You need to go back and see what the scriptures tell us 10And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. the fountains of the deep are the key it is fairly well known that there were major upheavals in the earths crust , and the rains would most likely be water that was blasted our from the fountains of the deep . At that stage the plates would have started moving .

[@skepticalfaith5201]

It doesn’t answer the question - if anything makes it worse - but the continental divide didn’t start until well over a thousand years AFTER the flood. Thus the bible says Eber named his son Peleg “because in his day the world was divided.” Also, the Himalayas and Rockies would not have been formed until after the flood

[@jennifereverett6298]

God's decree (based on the moral decline of humanity) seems to have been the cause. Genesis 6:5 says, "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

[@user-gk6ge2jq9q]

Great video!

[@refuse2bdcvd324]

Great explanation

[@iterry54]

I'm reading Carved in Stone right now. Very good read. But I have a question that I'm confused about. It says on page 244 that the Catskill Delta and Queenston Delta were deposited during the Tippecanoe and Kaskaskia Megasequence as a result of the crust being drawn down. This rather deep deposit is located on the east coast of the U.S. My question is was there subduction on the east coast as well as the west coast? I thought only the west coast had the subduction since the plate was floating away from the Atlantic continental ridge. Is there a book that describes the subduction process of North America in particular. I'm trying to visualize this. Very good book highly recommend it.

[@deannesanv8931]

Carved in Stone is on my shelf of books to read, along with many others from ICR. I haven’t decided which of the big ones to read first. I’m currently reading Jerry Bergman’s book, Evolution’s Blunders, Frauds, and Forgeries, as well as Jake Hebert’s The Ice Age and the Flood. Soon, I will start one of the thick ones. Maybe Carved in Stone will be first. :)

[@iterry54]

@@deannesanv8931 Carved in Stone is a great book to read. I'm a geologist and worked as such until I retired. This book reorders all of the nonsense in the uniformitarian schools. I'm trying to understand a little bit better how the tectonics worked during the flood and how they were responsible for the deposits particularly on the east coast. Good luck with your research. There is so much good information out there now.

[@kathywhitworth5145]

I bought Carved in Stone and the Ice Age book, and especially liked the maps explaining the deposits of the megasequences. At certain layers, vegetation was converted to oil or coal. Thanks to the oil companies and deep core samples, ICR scientists used the data to explain how rock layers formed during the global flood, followed by a long ice age that enabled the now separated continents to be repopulated

[@georgewade9748]

where to find models /animation of such explanations ?

[@libbydaddy8610]

Well explained, Dr. Clarey. You wet my appetite to read your & Dr. Johnson's CRSQ article from issue 57/4 "God Floods Earth, yet Preserves Ark-Borne Humans and Animals: Exegetical and Geological Notes on Genesis Chapter 7". Love this stuff and how the creationist view has matured in this area over time. Crazy manipulations have to be done to models in the deep time camp, uniformitarianism camps but this is turning into a logical and realistic model more with every year's research and review. Love the new ICR logo and how it relates to the expanding effort to make a creationist biology model, think it's about time, we need more of that in all aspects of God's creation from the scientific perspective as well as the spiritual. But my first love is always going to be with astronomy and geology. Gorgeous, massive, intriguing astronomy - so easy to fall in love with the images of our 'great telescope' age. But I'm a man of the land at heart and I get excited by rocks - really anything with 'geo' involved! - so eat this stuff up. Thanks Doctor, thanks interviewer...keep them coming!

[@nagaxplorer2022]

How do you differentiate between pre flood n post flood sedimentaries??

[@waynemorellini2110]

The cause of plate tectonics is likely to be rotation and impactors. There is ancient history about the sun setting in the opposite direction, and that there was a time before our present moon, and of a smaller original moon which was moved into a lower orbit and shredded and fell to the earth as a string of impactors. That's apparently the historical legends. I have located a series of impacts lined up when adjusted for rotation and orbit over time, which is likely the last flip, which lines up with the geographical north pole movements recorded in alignments of archeological sites over time. If however the earth was tilted at the time, a smaller moon is possible as an original flip, but from my estimates, the mantle anomaly is about the same size and correct distribution for a de-orbiting shredded impactor. There is growing scientific evidence of a catastrophe cycle, that involves impactors, electro magnetic and stella interactions inducing geological and volcanic interactions. Unfortunately there has been some deliberate misinformation in the past, so it's not obvious the schedule of what will happen and there are multiple different opinions. There are a number of overlapping minor event cycles. The main cycle clusters events, similar to those in revelations, and we are due for the next cycle. There is a solar earth scorching event in the cycle. The data seems to be misinterpreted, and the actual event looks to be around 1000 years after the next cluster. The ice core data also appears misinterpreted, and I have been looking at realignment. It's hard to recommend channels, due to the confusion from the past misinformation, and current efforts. Magnetic Reversal News, and their companion site the Oppenheimer Ranch Project, have scientists looking at some of this. Though, I do not share their conclusions. I don't recommend Space Weather News, but they currently are trying to summarise the science of what is happening. The channel See the Pattern, examines the science to see which matches the evidence, to determine what happened. What happened in the west coast of South America, is rather shocking, and I think I have a historical reference to it from another distant culture, the signature sound was so great. There is a channel called adapt 2030. The scientist Doug Voght is a known scientist. Some of his theories are exotic, and his religious views are not compatible with Christianity, I know the source. However, he is a bit of an insider, and has information on government and military efforts concerning this, and has some information on CIA efforts. I don't recommend the channel, I am still assessing his information, but do not share his conclusion. He is a likeable person, but still be careful in assessing things. There might be an channel that does things right and has the correct conclusion, but I have not found it yet. If anybody has a correct source, please reply. The official narrative is fatally flawed. Any narrative that says that flips are not practical without destroying the Earth, is flawed, and on a level of cognitive dissonance, of flat earth belief.

[@PiltdownSuperman]

Are you open to suggestions from someone who has watched many creation science videos? Two simple ones. First, I recommend fading the introductory music sooner. As much as I like it, it's a bit distracting and was obtrusive to the speakers. Second, I strongly recommend mixing in some graphics and very short videos (without sound). These would help illustrate the points being made.

[@icrscience]

We're always open to suggestions. Thanks for watching!

[@David-mn6nl]

Agreed! Visualization of what he’s talking about would help a lot with understanding the explanation

[@RichM1967]

What about Walt Brown's Hydroplate theory?

[@tanglediver]

Agreed!

[@hanichay1163]

But what caused the plates to move? Some say a comet passing by caused the earth’s rotation to slow down and the crust to scrunch in (water bursting out from the deeps and volcanoes), then when it sped up again the plates broke up and spread out.

[@VaxtorT]

I disagree on one point. The Antedeluvian world had more land mass and far less ocean. Personally I suspect a great amount of water was added to the oceans from the fountains beneath .....as well as from the waters above. Combined with what he said about the younger, more bouyant ocean crust....there we see how the continents were inundated.

[@rodrogers6895]

Fountains beneath 😂

[@jimcricket1]

​@@rodrogers6895yes, "fountains of the great deep" there's still water leaking into the oceans from the bottom of mid oceanic trenches. Educate yourself, they are called "hydrothermal vents".

[@jennifereverett6298]

Scripture also says that there were fountains of the deep. Geyers? Aquifers opened up? And ringwoodite appears to be trapping water that gets pushed under at the subduction zones.

[@johnbaker951]

Great Video ! I've read that coal deposits from all over the world have very similar plant fossils, including what we would call tropical plants. This includes all the way from the polar arctic regions to the equator. That seems to indicate that had to have been similar weather patterns over the whole earth at the time of the flood. I've heard it considered that for that to have happened, the earth would have had to have it's rotational axis vertical instead of shifted it's current 15° angle. Is it possible that the rapid plate tectonics shifted the center of gravity on the earth enough to shift the axis of rotation?

[@rickandrygel913]

A theory I heard is that the plants floated in a massive group, and the bark would flake off as they rubbed against each other sinking down to become the coal layers. At least for the eastern US and Europe. This log matte would travel over this whole area causing a coal layer then move away causing a mud layer, then move in again for more coal, many times. Which explains why there are many layers of coal and mud on top of each other. So if that's true it's hard to say what the climate was like in any region, but there definitely would have been way more plants than there are today.

[@skepticalfaith5201]

The Earth was covered by a cloud (not vapor) canopy that created a giant greenhouse. (“the waters above the expanse.”) That spread the heat equally across the world, so there was the same vegetation in Antarctica and Greenland as the rest of the world. So yes the coal would have the same type fossils everywhere.

How many variants? Not isolated. Covid like CO2 is an either or false dichotomy & there are no false dichotomies in science. "All I know is I know nothing." Einstein. Covid being the Baby Boomers who were born en mass 78 years ago are starting to die en mass from the usual suspects of seasonal flu which leads to pneumonia & old age plus a lot of propaganda and no buying or selling coercion. The covid quackzine is the Nazi final solution, Jewish Passover, Trump's Operation Warp speed to depopulate the planet before the Great Year precession of the sun's shadow equinoxes as measured by the Pharaohs/Pharisees obelisks. Eclipsing the nucleus of our Star's Oort cloud magnetosphere for the next millennium RESETS the planet as in the days of Noah.

[@anderssarenpa4641]

Have you heard, or considered the 'growing earth' theory? I don't know that much about it but stumbled across it recently, because of someone who questions many of the modern 'science' narratives, like climate change, virology, etc. That the earth is expanding like a balloon, and that is why the continents match up, that the water from the flood came from within. I'm not exactly sure on the mechanism, haven't researched that much of it yet.

[@rickandrygel913]

The most simple and obvious evidence for a young Earth I can think of- The Earth's magnetic poles shifted multiple times in the past. The Atlantic ocean floor was made when the continents split. As lava cools and turns to rock, the particles inside that are affected by magnets will align in line with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing us to know which way magnetic north was. The Atlantic floor has bands where the alignment was messy throughout, suggesting that portion was made while the poles were in the process of shifting. (1000 years in the old Earth model, two weeks in the young Earth model) The remaining portion of the Atlantic floor should be uniform in showing which side the poles were on in the old Earth model, but that is not the case. Anywhere a sample is drilled in the Atlantic floor, the majority will point one direction, but there will always be many pockets pointing the opposite direction. The entire floor formed quickly enough, and there was a short enough time period between pole shifts, that the sea floor was not fully cooled by the next pole shift.

[@dav1djac0b]

“Most simple and obvious”? Nowhere in our natural world is polarity observed. Therefore it is both ridiculous and incorrect to claim that the earth has poles. Polar magnetism is strictly a manufactured force and manufactured spherical magnets do not have polar opposite ends. “Volcanoes” are slag heaps/spoil tips. They are manmade. There is no such thing as “magma”. It is all a result of the mining process. Earth takes shape like clay under a seal. A circle like a compass. A compass 🧭always points north, the outside ends stretched. The center is south. In the north the compass points towards the closest end of earth. In the south s compass goes berserk because the north surrounds equally all around.

[@DrWhom-bk7uz]

My thoughts on this are as follows.. I do believe that the earth is a flat stationary plane. I don’t believe that the flood was caused by plate tectonics. I believe the antediluvian world could be described as Pangea, one solid body. The Pangea plate was still intact after the water receded until the time of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, when GOD confused their tongues and separated the Narions. This would explain the similarity of monolithic sites around the world as well as explain how people were able to occupy lands with such distance and obstacles that separated them. Not migration across a Bering Land Bridge… Basically GOD broke up Pangea, with individual sections containing Nations of people who were given their own distinct language. But before that time, the people were connected and shared construction and architectural techniques and technology as well as similar markings.

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

Since your 'ideas' are proved wrong in the first line, we are going to move on.

[@stevepierce6467]

The labels beg the question with a presupposition. There is no evidence at all that a biblical "global flood" ever happened, and plenty that it did not. My closest bit of evidence is Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park in northeast Nebraska. Fossil remains from 12 million years ago show no signs of ever having been disturbed by a great flood. If the world is 6000 years old, and a giant flood happened even more recently than that, one would expect to find some mention of this event in the records left by one of the several literate societies in existence on earth within the last few millennia. Not a peep! Answer: there was no global flood caused by plate tectonics or anything else.

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

Macro evolution is presuppositional and interprets everything according to that paradigm even though the origin of the universe and of life cannot happen by materialistic means. The fossils do not support macroevolution. Natural selection can only act on an already existing genome and epigenetic signals. Mutations are destructive. The 2nd law of the thermodynamics crushes evolution. Never has there been a greater hoax in science so called. It is oversimplification and wild extrapolation based on the actual data and its basis is metaphysics not science. Ironically, materialism denies the existence of metaphysics while being in its debt.

[@gerardmoloney433]

Scientific and archaeological discoveries in our lifetime is proving the authenticity of the Bible on a monthly basis. God of the Bible stated that the heavens DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD and also established the scientific method and instructed us to do scientific research. Put everything to the test and hold fast to that which is good (TRUE). Not lies! Science does nothing. It's a word that means knowledge. People believe in science as if it created everything, when in fact science is the discovery of everything that has been created by God. Atheists believe in science 😂. Thinking themselves wise they became fools. By their own admission they are not intelligently designed 😂. ENOUGH SAID!

[@jennifereverett6298]

I don't think the plates will come to a complete stop before Jesus' return because He spoke of earthquakes in the last days. It also appears that we're very near to the Great Tribulation just before His return. But perhaps they'll stop during His millennial (1,000 year) reign.

Nope it did not. The great flood was created excactly as the word of God tells us. The vaults from heaven opened, and the underwaterfountains, that takes care of the high and low tide, burst open. That's how the flood was possible. Only by the hand of God. With a prommis from God, that it will never happen again. ❤🙏❤

[@djsarg7451]

The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ).

Wait till he finds out there is no subduction. Mechanical engineering mathematical formulas show the resistance of the mantle and core to the “plate subduction” is far greater than what the “plate” can produce.

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

We can see areas of subduction and measure them.

[@debbiesimmons4593]

Was the earth hit by something that caused it to break into plates?

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

No, it just happens. Although the earth WAS hit by at least one large object in its history.

[@MattyDove]

Lol, I like you talk like the Church has always been a big believer of plate tectonics.

[@dav1djac0b]

The Bible says that the earth and plates moved very rapidly? Where is this scripture? 🤥

[@alanpfeiffer9686]

10And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7

[@pkendlers]

No, God caused it. His method of doing it might uave been plate tectonics, but God was the cause.

[@robertklotz9319]

"Many people do not believe in the flood, even many Christians" But Christ did believe in it. So, how can they call themselves Christians when they're really in opposition to Christ?

[@adelinomorte7421]

***do not try to justify your interpretation of the bible using distorted scientific facts that only people ignorant of science would believe. The flood was not global, many floods happened and still happens but the biblical one may happened but in the Earth known at that time and as a flat not a globe.***

[@lfritz2399]

it's not a globe it's a flat plain with turned up edges

[@bartbley1269]

So one would think the disappearance of the great ice sheets played some roll in the flood as well? Because we are told the end of the last ice age started 14,000 years ago

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

It certainly would have seemed like a cataclysmic event to cultures near any large masses of water or land near sea level - as these would have disappeared and never resurfaced. But this flooding was not all at once and did not cover higher ground, such as my house, even.

[@yeshuaisjoshua]

How do you research creation? It can't be done. The Hebrew Bible is historical fiction, yhwh is a fictional character.

[@ronaldernst1967]

No. Our Lord and savior did.

[@katlyn214]

You could build a lot of boats in 150 days. Or rafts. Lord imagine the rotting corpses. I also wonder about how cold the upper atmosphere is. Think Himalayan mountains... How would Noah and family survive the freezing temps and the elevation lack of oxygen? Would the flood have pushed oxygen levels higher at those extreme elevations?

[@alanpfeiffer9686]

The earth was not like it is now , the himalayas and other mountain ranges did not exist as we know them now that is factored out as they often find marine fossils on Everest for instance .

[@GregoryJByrne]

Cataclysms happen due to increased electromagnetic gravitational every from eclipsing hthe nucleus of our Star Sun's Oort cloud magnetosphere for a 1,000 years. God will provide more EM energy means more growth. Dinosaurs. The truth shall set you free but the truth is inconvenient & the lies are comfortable. Mystery of the 7 crossings of our Sun Star's magnetic equator not you or Co2 is the cause of these the climate change end times Jesus warned us to watch & prepare for. 5 loaves crossings complete & 2 fish crossings to go until perigee with the galactic bulge. 12 baskets 12,000 years between 1,000 year crossings. Galactic Milankovitch cycles Precession being Earth's orbits cycling between our Star's two energies of it's Oort cloud magnetosphere. Obliquity being the precession of our Sun between our galaxies fermie cell energies 60,000 years full cycle. Eccentricity 240,000 year rotation of the galactic bulge 24 elders. Antikythera device, Gobekli tepe stones sedimentary layers are crying out. Not a vaccine as it takes 10 years minimum to develop & test a vaccine If & only IF you can first isolate the virus. How many variants? Not isolated. Covid like CO2 is an either or false dichotomy & there are no false dichotomies in science. "All I know is I know nothing." Einstein. Covid being the Baby Boomers who were born en mass 78 years ago are starting to die en mass from the usual suspects of seasonal flu which leads to pneumonia & old age plus a lot of propaganda and no buying or selling coercion. The covid quackzine is the Nazi final solution, Jewish Passover, Trump's Operation Warp speed to depopulate the planet before the Great Year precession of the sun's shadow equinoxes as measured by the Pharaohs/Pharisees obelisks. Eclipsing the nucleus of our Star's Oort cloud magnetosphere for the next millennium RESETS the planet as in the days of Noah. Grade 5 science could debunk both CO2 caused climate change & the covid quackzine. "Those who profess to be wise will be made to look like fools." God will not be mocked.

[@scottkeeler2306]

Perhaps you should look into the Biblical Cosmology and rely on what Scripture has to say about this subject as we can clearly see now our higher learning institutions have been corrupted.

[@terryporche9059]

Read the Bible. It’s the truth

[@michaelmorris5755]

The interviewer is not so great

[@kathleennorton2228]

He has lots to say. Shè lets him talk.

[@andywelikala5277]

The Great WORLD-WIDE FLOOD was CREATED BY CREATOR ALMIGHTY GOD.

[@robert9674]

Really God caused the global flood

[@dominiqueubersfeld2282]

Next episode: did 5G cause the Global Covid?

[@dennisholst4322]

Not one word of God so

[@bluelanterns2982]

The animals couldn't all fit on the ark. Noah myth is fictional story.

[@billjorgensen4882]

If you are a Christian and believe what Jesus had to say about Noah and the flood, there is a problem. If you are not a Christian, your stand is understandable and makes sense. There is an interesting book on Noah's Ark found on Amazon with high ratings. It's called: Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study Author: John Woodmorappe. There is also much on ICR that addresses the number of animals on the Ark.

[@alanpfeiffer9686]

Not all the animals were taken only a pair of each kind so maybe 14000 or up to 16000 is all that were on the ark
