EP: 408 The Flood of Noah: Science and The Bible with Hugh Ross

Astrophysicist and apologist Hugh Ross returns to the blurry basement to talk about his new book, Noah's Flood Revisited, and the case he's making that the Genesis flood account is scientifically credible when read literally and historically. Hugh walks through why he believes the flood was universal to all humanity but not necessarily global in geographic scope, how no Christian scholar explicitly argued for a global flood until the 17th century, and why the Bible itself, in Job, Psalms, and Proverbs, may rule out water covering the entire planet after creation day three. He also unpacks Noah's overlooked role as a prophet, the "two books" framework of nature and scripture, and why this passage is by far the most ridiculed section of the Bible among skeptics and believers alike.The conversation goes deep on ancient human migration, the dating of the flood to a possible Ice Age event tens of thousands of years ago, the Nephilim and what Genesis 6:4 actually says about their return, and how 300+ flood legends across the Americas support a pre-migration event. Hugh also drops news about a forthcoming book on ETI and UAPs, talks about why ancient peoples weren't as ignorant as we assume, and shares why getting skeptics past the flood narrative might be the key to getting them all the way to Jesus.
