Adam's descendents were too numerous for a local flood

"If Adam's listed descendents each produced only 10 offspring during his lifetime, Adam would have had more than 10 million descendents when he died at age 930." (Downing 2011)

Adam died 492 years before the flood, according to Bishop Usher's Biblical chronology, and even earlier in other interpretations of the biblical dating. Extremely long lifetimes are definitely reported in the pre-Flood account of Genesis, tailing off to present-day expected lifetimes only long after the time of Abraham.

This is another strong evidence that the Genesis account upholds a global flood! A local flood could not have wiped out 10 million people. Only a global flood could have done this. The book of Genesis teaches us that God saved only Noah and his family from destruction, by His grace. All others perished, because of their sin and rebellion.

Choose Life, that You and Your Children may Live (Deuteronomy 30:19)

Through 2008, the estimated number of abortions in the United States since the 1973 Roe vs Wade ruling is estimated to be over 50 million.

Let us grieve for them, and not forget. Let us uphold those mothers and fathers who are truly sorry for their action.

"Even so, it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
