I read a really good trilogy on the flood. It’s called The Genesis Trilogy by
KACY BARNETT-GRAMCKOW. I believed it’s based off of research by Center for Scientific creation.
Focus on the Family came out years ago with The Truth Project. It has a section on science that is great. It’s a 12 week study that every Christian should see. Actually everyone should see it.
Something from “Answers in Genesis” ...
Noah Movie Review: An Unbiblical Film
A group of Answers in Genesis staff attended the opening of Noah last night in a local movie theater. With all the Hollywood hype and news surrounding the controversial film, we were surprised at the low turnout, with only twelve other people in the theater. We had heard many negative reports but were hopeful, based on other comments, that there may have been some redeeming qualities of the film. However, those hopes were dashed against the rocks harder than Hollywood’s ark when it ran aground in the film. This point should be one that jars us to attention, realizing that our hope is not in a Hollywood film but in something infinitely more redeeming in quality: the person and work of Jesus Christ.
There are four elements from the biblical account that you will recognize in this film, but little else from Genesis 6–9. First, of course, there is a man named Noah, and he has three sons with the biblical names. Second, Noah builds an ark that is true to the biblical proportions (though it did not look seaworthy) and there were lots of animals that came to him and were on board (though far more creatures were crammed inside than were needed). Third, there is a flood that appears to cover the entire globe (though it’s not explicitly taught). Fourth, mankind is depicted as extremely wicked (but because the film’s agenda is more about the environment, man’s wickedness was not so much sin against God but in how people were destroying the earth).
Ultimately, there is barely a hint of biblical accuracy in this almost two-and-a-half-hour film. But beyond being shocked at the massive distortions of God’s Word in Noah, we can recognize one opportunity: if you know of someone who has gone ahead and watched Noah (even with all the cautions AiG and others have presented about this unbiblical film), you can point a non-Christian toward trusting in God’s Word and the forgiveness offered in Jesus.
Here are just a few more of the many concerns with what we are calling a pagan film. (A more detailed review will be posted on the weekend that will point out many of the film’s pagan elements.)

I don’t know if I care to hear from a “card-carrying ATHEIST” about his ideas of what the Bible says, is about and how he made the movie from his atheistic position!
I hear the concession stand sales doubled when this movie is shown!
You are your wife need to undertake directed Bible Study as soon as possible. Your souls are at stake. Clearly you have no power of discernment at this point.
How can a “retired state prosecutor” be so utterly bereft of ability to see through a scam (of pagan ideas masquerading as Christian ones)?
We are in agreement. The only thing that can be done at present is refuse to see the film. I won’t see it.

2pairs of unclean and 7 pairs of clean.
” So it seems a bit silly to criticize a movie about an event that didn’t actually occur.”
An odd thing to say even if you believe it is just allegorical since what is in the bible would none the less be the (allegorical) Word of God and not subject to change.
As far as I am concerned if God said it occurred then it occurred EXACTLY as described in The Bible.
Someone can afford to go to the movies?
Must be nice.
I would go to a movie about Noah that is Biblical and is a good movie. I would get the money to do that.
Was Abraham crazy for almost killing Isaac? And who was that “crazy” man for telling Abraham to sacrifice his own son.
