"Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights." Genesis 6:6-12
Here's a little fact you may not know ... the ancient fossils we find in the ground were formed by rapid burial in a catastrophic flood. As you know the Bible tells that such an event occurred in earth's history. It is scientifically impossible for fossilization to occur any other way and, therefore, the fossil record cannot be the result of evolutionary processes encompassing millions of years that would completely deteriorate the remains of dead animals. The good news is that if the Bible is trustworthy on this issue, you can trust it on ALL issues including the redemption that God offers you by faith in his Son Jesus!
Application:
What does proof of Noah's flood mean to you?
Why do you think so many people believe in evolution?
How can you serve God like Noah even when it seems like many people don't?
