| The fossil record confirms the Biblical story of Noah's ark
| |
Supporting arguments
The story of Noah's ark comports with the fossil record, in which the less intelligent and more primitive species are found lower in rock strata and more intelligent creatures higher up. In the event of a flood as depicted in the Bible, it is reasonable to assume that the more intelligent creatures would have fled to higher ground and survived for some time, while the less intelligent ones drowned right away. [1]

Opposing arguments
The ark described in the Bible is too small to have held all of the animals of the world. [2]
|
Noah's family could not have been the ancestors of all of humanity because they would have been too closely related, resulting in genetic abnormalities caused by inbreeding. [3]
