When Science Meets Scripture: What Really Happened in Noah’s Day?

For centuries, the story of Noah’s Flood has stirred both faith and frustration. To some, it’s a cornerstone of divine truth; to others, a mythical tale disproved by science. But why does this ancient account provoke such strong reactions? In this episode, we explore the deeper tension between the biblical record and the natural record—and the anxiety that arises when the two seem to conflict.

We’ll unpack the question at the heart of this debate: Is the natural record in conflict with the biblical record? Drawing from the Belgic Confession, Psalm 19, and Romans 1, we’ll examine the idea that truth is revealed through two “books”—the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture—each requiring careful interpretation. Theology interprets the Word; science interprets the world. When they clash, maybe the fault lies not in the records, but in our interpretation of them.
