Many people, including some Christians do not believe that the Great Flood had taken place, and have raised many objections:
Many people, including some Christians do not believe that the Great Flood had taken place, and have raised many objections:
* a lack of geological evidence for a global flood. <ref>http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html</ref><ref>[http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/other_papers/rapid_post_flood_speciation.shtml A Critique of Rapid Post Flood Speciation] by [[Reasons to Believe]] an [[Old Earth Creationist]] ministry</ref>
* a lack of geological evidence for a global flood [ref>http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html][http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/other_papers/rapid_post_flood_speciation.shtml A Critique of Rapid Post Flood Speciation] by [[Reasons to Believe]] an [[Old Earth Creationist]] ministry]. What is ignored in this statement is the fact that approximately 75% of the earth's land area is sedimentary rock (water-laid), as well as evidence from the fossil record showing animals which have died violently, as in a cataclysm, and buried so rapidly that normal biological agents could not completely dispose of the carcasses, as is done under normal observation.
*A lack of room for all the animals, usually on the basis of the biblical reference to ''kinds'' being the same as ''species'' (and there are about 1,250,000 identified animal species on Earth <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species</ref>). Supporters of the account reject that ''kinds'' is to be equated with ''species'', so use a much lower number.
