Evidences for the Genesis Flood

Genesis 7 talks about how God caused a massive flood that engulfed the whole earth and killed every last man except the eight people that were on the ark. Many non-Christians and some Christians believe that the flood never happened and that the first couple chapters of Genesis are wrong. I would like to respond to the question about the global flood in Genesis 7, which I believe did happen. Now granted I am not an expert in this topic but I love the story of the flood. There are three reasons why the idea of a global flood is not impossible.
Many people have claimed that with the geography of the present world a global flood could not happen. I would agree with this statement that global flood in today’s world would be impossible; however, at the time of the global flood in the bible the earth was one supercontinent. This continent is known as Pangaea. Pangaea made it possible for a global flood because the mountains would have been smaller and the continents were not as spread out. After the flood the planet was unstable and the continent divided into the present geography today. For those who are interested in reading about whether or not Pangaea existed and if there is evidence for it I would recommend Peleg: Early Earths Movements by David P. Nelson.
Many people wonder and argue that it is impossible to rain constantly for a period of forty days and nights. I would like to offer this evidence. During the flood the bible mentions the breaking of the fountains of the deep. The fountains of the deep could mean volcanoes and massive tectonic activity. This activity would vaporize some of the water in the ocean and put it into the atmosphere where it condenses and falls back as rain.
The final evidence that I believe is the most convicing proof, which is that every ancient civilization has a flood story that involved a worldwide flood. It is pretty hard to refute this evidence because it is true. One example of this evidence is the Babylonian story the Gilgamesh flood. This story talks about the planet being flooded and only eight people would survive. This is very similar to the Genesis Flood in the bible were the flood covered the entire earth and only eight people survived. This evident also makes sense because everybody would have the same ancestors that survived the flood and story would be passed down from generations.
I encourage the reader to look up and into the different flood theories and decide for themselves if it happened or not. I hope that some of these evidences got you interested in flood and the possibility that the bible is true. Here are some books that I would recommend reading if you are interested in the flood. One book is The Young Earth by John Morris and Footprints in the Ash by John D. Morris and Steven A. Austin.
