"This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time and he walked with God. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. I am going to bring floodwaters to the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark." Genesis 6:9-14, 17-18a
Here are some questions by non-believers answered-
How could the ark hold all the animals?
Remember, Noah only took the young of the animals so there would be enough room. Also he only took species of animals because as we know micro evolution has been proven; maecro evolution hasn't. (Note- microevolution is evolution inside species, maecroevolution is evolution outside species)
How could it not rain in 2,000 years?
Many people believe there was a canopy over the Earth, making it so it wouldn't rain. At that point in history the 'canopy' had more than it could hold, bursting and making it flood the Earth.
How could the flood cover all of the mountains, including Everest?
First of all, remember this is 4,000 years ago; Everest may not have been formed by then. Second of all, remember it hadn't rained for 2,000 years! Imagine all of that piling up.... It would have been more than enough rain to cover the Earth!
