Ark Engineering and Seaworthiness

Are Noah’s Ark and a global flood compatible with the modern scientific and historical perspectives we hold today?

Join Conor and Bryan Osborne from Answers in Genesis as they discuss the incredible story of building the Ark Encounter in Kentucky, real-world shipbuilding techniques that Noah could have employed, and why ancient cultures across the globe all preserve flood traditions. They also discuss how evolutionary assumptions have shaped modern science — and why Bryan is convinced that challenging those assumptions is essential for understanding the Bible’s historical credibility.

Tune in to hear about:

- The engineering behind the construction of a life-sized ark

- Evolution vs Creationism

- Dinosaurs, the fossil record, and carbon dating

- And why Genesis is foundational for understanding Christ and the Gospel

Whether you’re a young earth creationist, a committed evolutionist, or someone simply curious about Genesis and early world history, this episode offers clarity, depth, and a fascinating perspective into one of the most beloved Biblical events in Salvation History.
