1. Scripture testifies of the truth.

The ultimate support for a worldwide Flood is the testimony of God’s infallible Word. In Genesis 6:17, God tells Noah that He will cause a Flood on the earth to destroy “all flesh” that lives on the land. This phrase is used 13 times in the Flood account to stress the global nature of the catastrophe. The fact that God instructed Noah to bring flying creatures rules out a local flood since they could have flown to safety. Genesis 7:19 further states that the Floodwaters rose above “all the high mountains under the whole heaven.” Mountains could not have been submerged until the lower places on the earth had all been filled with water.
