A Flood of Truth - Part 5 – The Story of the Story - Anchored by Truth - May 25, 2021 by Wave 94

Let’s start by reminding everyone that the Bible treats the story of Noah as literal history. As you mentioned the story of Noah is often misunderstood in popular culture today. Frequently, the story is either regarded as just another ancient myth at worst or a sort of allegorical morality tale at best. But that‘s not at all how the Bible presents the story. The Bible is clear that at one time, over 4,000 years ago, widespread wickedness in the world made it necessary for God to destroy almost all of the land life on the earth. And as we heard in our opening scriptures God restarted the human race with Noah, his 3 sons, and their wives. So, that’s one big point. At one point in history there was a gigantic bottleneck in the human population of the earth. Therefore, if the story is true, which we certainly believe it is, the effects of that bottleneck should be perceivable genetically today. We’re going to talk about that in a second along with another phenomenon that emerged from the flood event. I call this phenomenon the “story of the story.”
