The Great Flood and the History of the World Conference

Along with Creation, the Fall of Man, and the Incarnation of Christ, the Great Flood of Noah’s Day ranks among the most defining events in the history of the universe. The Genesis Flood is the marker between the world that perished and everything thereafter. It is simply impossible to have a biblical view of history, theology, or science without adherence to the Genesis account of the Flood. One’s view of the Flood is inextricably linked to biblical orthodoxy. And yet, no event is more under attack in American seminaries and churches than the idea of a global Flood and Noah’s Ark. Students at this year’s History of the World Mega-Conference will be treated to messages by the two leading experts in the world on the scientific and biblical case for the Genesis Flood. Dr. John Whitcomb will present “The Universality of the Genesis Flood,” “The World that Perished,” and “The Implications of the Genesis Flood on Earth History.” Dr. John Morris will discuss his numerous trips to the mountains of Ararat in his thrilling message, “The Search for Noah’s Ark.”

Conference participants are encouraged to read the book that launched the modern creation movement, The Genesis Flood, by Whitcomb and Morris. It remains an unrefuted classic to the present day. Perhaps the most interesting book ever written on the viability of the Ark is Noah’s Ark: A Feasibility Study, which considers issues like: “How did Noah feed the fructivores and piscavores on the ark?” and “What about waste management on the ark?” And for the younger readers, you should consider The True Story of Noah’s Ark.
