So somebody put those laser reflectors there.

For example, even the vehicles left behind by the astronauts are still there and they're being photographed on a regular basis.

Well, the Bible tells us that the flood lasted 375 days.

You know, liquid water flows out of the ocean fairly quickly.

There had to be a lot of melting ice and snow for the flood to last that long.

And during the previous ice age, there were seven really big melt events.

So I think one of those melt events explains why the flood lasted that long.

But it also puts the flood early enough in human history that the flood can wipe out the entire world of humanity and all their animals without being global.

And that's the number one reason why people reject the biblical account.

They think it's speaking about a global flood.

Rather, it's speaking about a worldwide flood.

The world of humanity was wiped out.

But if you have the event early enough, the world of humanity is a local region.

I mean, there weren't humans in North and South America until 16,500 years ago.

And likewise, Australia wasn't settled until 40 to 50,000 years ago.

The big major melt events were 47 to 85,000 years ago.

So I make the argument that I waited to bring the book out until we really had solid data confirming the events of Genesis 10 and 11.

And if you can nail down the dates for that, you've got a good idea of the date for Noah's flood.

Well, Genesis 10 and 11 speak about the great scatterings of humanity and

I mean, Genesis 11, we see that humanity is repeating the mistake of what happened before the flood.
