Front Cover
Concordia Publishing House, 1951 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 372 pages

When you begin to ponder the terrible judgment of the Flood waters that God used to completely destroy the first world, then immediately a number of perplexing problems present themselves. For example:

  • How can we explain the coming together of all the animals and birds from all parts of the world at one time?
  • How was it possible for eight people to feed and provide drink for all the different animals in the Ark for over a year? How was it possible for them to clean the Ark?
  • Where did all the water come from? Is there actually enough water on our planet to cover the entire earth?
  • How could the Ark accommodate the natural increase of the animals?
  • Is the alleged discovery of the remains of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat by a Russian aviator a true account?
  • What became of all the water when the Flood subsided?
  • Did the Flood waters rise to an elevation to cover such lofty heights as Pike's Peak, Mount Everest, Mount McKinley?
  • When did the Flood begin? How long did it last?
  • Where did Noah acquire the 'know-how' for building such a spacious and durable Ark?
  • How can we account for the rapid progress of the nations following the Flood?
  • What was the population?
