The document summarizes key points from Genesis chapters 4-11, which discuss Cain and Abel, the angels and Noah's flood, and the Tower of Babel. It describes differing views on whether Cain's or Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God and why. It also discusses the "angel view" that angels intermarried with human women, resulting in giants. The document provides scriptural support for this view and notes it was the traditional view of early Church fathers and Jewish literature. It summarizes perspectives on the flood being universal or local in scope and provides geological evidence supporting a global flood.

• 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on
the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of
men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all
which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not
always strive with man, for that he also is flesh:yet his
days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There
were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters
of men, and they bare children to them, the same
became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

13. Genesis 7-9: The Flood
• Universal or Local?
• Every living thing destroyed
(v7:4,23)
• All high mountains under the
entire heavens were covered
(v7:19)
• Ark rested on the mountains of
Ararat (v8:4).
• Promise: “never
again”(v9:11,15).
• Geological Mysteries
• Grand Canyon origin
• Mid-oceanic mountain ranges
• Submarine canyons
• Magnetic variations on ocean
floor
• Coal and oil formations
• Frozen mammoths
• Metamorphic rock
• Fossil graveyards
• Jigsaw fit of continents
14. Genesis 7-9: The Flood
• Canopy Theory
• Atmospheric water shield
protected the earth from cosmic
radiation; hence, longer lifetimes
prior to the flood.
• Waterfalls, complementing the
subterranean waters
unleashed(7:11).
• Continental drift occurred from
fractured land masses (10:25)
[The Genesis Record, Henry
Morris and John C. Whitcomb,
1961.(They do show that the
Flood was universal, it was a great
catastrophe, and there is ample
historical evidence forit. Their
“canopytheory” is but one view...).]
• Hydroplate Theory
• Interconnected continents
• Subterranean water
• Increasing pressure(s)
• Horizontal buckling and eruptions
(Walt Brown, Center for Scientific
Creation, Phoenix, Arizona)
15. Genesis 7-9: The Flood
• Only one ark and one door
• When the door was shut, there was no second chance
• The Ark is a type of Jesus Christ, the "Ark of our
salvation"
• Genesis 8:4 - "And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the
mountains of Ararat" (17th of Nissan, 1st month of the
religious calendar)
• Jesus was resurrected on the 17th of Nissan
• Noah’s “new beginning” on the Planet Earth was on the
anniversary—in anticipation—of our “new beginning” in
Christ!
