NOAH'S FLOOD DOCS
IN SEARCH OF... "NOAH'S FLOOD"
(TV EPISODE; 1979)
In Search Of... "Noah's Flood" is an episode from In Search Of..., a weekly documentary series hosted by Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) from 1977-82. This episode, divided into three parts on YouTube, explores compelling evidence that backs the account of the Flood as written in the Book of Genesis, as well as referencing tales of a planet-wide deluge from scores of other cultures as well as the Judeo-Christian traditions. Nimoy's own referencing of the fall of Atlantis possibly occurring around the same time as Noah's Flood during this episode served to spur me on to write Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How The World Ended Millennia Ago.
Some of the information presented in this three-part video may be dated, but this film is still a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Noah's Ark.
Hosted by: Leonard Nimoy
Written by: Seth Hill
Directed by: Seth Hill
Production company: Alan Landsburg Productions
Airdate: 8 February 1979 (Number 783), first-run syndication

IN SEARCH OF NOAH'S ARK
(DOCUMENTARY; 1976)
In Search of Noah's Ark is a secular yet Christian-friendlier documentary film from 1976 that discusses the possibility of a global deluge through geological evidence, flood legends non-Judeo-Christian cultures, theories about what earth might have been like prior to the Flood, and various other arguments that support the Genesis account of Noah and the Ark.
With a lovely musical score composed by Bob Summers, this film, despite its date of release, presents a credible case for a worldwide catastrophe that destroyed a vile civilization and its citizenry -- and why, and how, Noah, his family, and a nucleus of land-dwelling life were spared.
this film, upon my watching it years later, also served as research in my writing of Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How The World Ended Millennia Ago.
Hosted by: Brad Crandall
Written by: James L. Conway and Charles E. Sellier Jr., based on the book by Charles E. Sellier Jr. and David W. Balsiger

THE WORLD THAT PERISHED
(DOCUMENTARY; 1977) The World That Perished is another documentary that also postulates the likelihood of a global flood through geological evidence, flood legends non-Judeo-Christian cultures, theories about what earth might have been like prior to the Flood, and various other arguments that favor the Genesis account of Noah and the Ark. However, unlike the previous documentaries on this page, this short film was produced by the Films For Christ Association. This film, after I had watched In Search of... "Noah's Flood" (which had referenced this particular film during the episode), also served as research in my writing of Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How The World Ended Millennia Ago. One important theological point I must make. I do not agree with the filmmakers' postulation about the fate/destiny of our world. In fact, many Christians (myself included) believe that Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, will return to Earth (and, from countless prophetic indications, He will return sooner than most people think) and set up His Eternal Kingdom on Earth that will neither decline nor fall, but will live forever and prosper. Still, despite my disagreement with Films For Christ's view of Earth's destiny, I present this film on this webpage to show as a research source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (from the review for The World That Perished from https://christiananswers.net) This award-winning documentary combines real-life cinematography, animation, and special effects. Presents a well-researched concept of what the geography and climate of the Earth was probably like prior to the worldwide flood-judgment of Noah’s day. The producer’s use of a wide range of visuals adds entertainment value to the film which includes: a reenactment of Noah building the ark, the ark on the stormy sea, the 35,000 animal/passengers housed in their cages and stalls on board the ark, erupting volcanoes, modern-day search teams looking for remains of Noah’s ark on Mr. Ararat, etc. It documents flood legends from tribes all around the world which are very similar to the actual scriptural record found in Genesis. This near timeless film is an excellent apologetic for the accuracy and trustworthiness of the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Viewers will marvel at many of the faith-strengthening evidences presented. Excellent evangelistic conclusion. This is a staple film for church and Christian school libraries. Don’t miss it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Narrated by: Herb Graham Noah (actor): Leo Bell Written by: Stan Taylor Photographed and Directed by: Paul S.

NOAH'S ARK AND THE FLOOD: IS IT
SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE?
(HOWARD KATZ, PRESENTER; 2012)
Noah's Ark and the Flood: Is It Scientifically Possible? is a presentation given by the late Pastor Howard Katz (1954-2020), a Jewish-background believer in Jesus Christ with a background in civil engineering, Through thorough multi-field scientific research into the Flood, Katz gave in this compelling audio presentation credible evidence in regard to the climatic and geophysical dynamics of the Flood, and of how Noah and his family became the ancestors of today's humankind, along with how basic male-and-female breeding pairs became the ancestors of all of the land-dwelling animal species that currently dwell upon the earth.
This presentation by the late Howard Katz, whom I also had the privilege of having as my pastor and good friend up until his death, and was one of my reference sources for the preparation of Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How The World Ended Millennia Ago.

THE BIBLE AND DRAGONS/DINOSAURS
And this is for all those who shout, "What about the dinosaurs?"
The videos below lend themselves completely Biblical explanations about dinosaurs -- often referred to in the Scriptures. Caveat: the opinions expressed in these videos are those of the presenters, and may not entirely reflect my own. Still, these films will prove that one secularist's dinosaur is another creationist's dragon! DIGGING FOR TRUTH:
DINOSAURS AND THE BIBLE PARTS 1 & 2 (2019) (from the YouTube webpage) What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? Does their existence disprove Genesis 1 and 2? What are the implications for the discovery of soft protein materials being found in dinosaur fossils allegedly tens of millions of years old? In our interview with microbiologist Dr. Kevin Anderson, find out how recent fossil discoveries and related scientific studies challenge the prevailing macro-evolutionary, long-age paradigm of earth history.

CATASTROPHIC PLATE TECTONICS (FROM PANGEA TO TODAY) (2018) (from the YouTube webpage) Noah's flood occurred just thousands of years ago and wiped out all terrestrial life on earth, save just thousands of animal "kinds" and 8 people on the Ark. Catastrophic rifting resulted in cycling tsunamis that brought water and sediment onto land and resulted in the movement of the continents to their position today. See Dr. Austin's presentation here for a more technical overview of the Flood process: https://youtu.be/0RLlbUBpzr0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, this video addresses how not only dinosaurs coexist with humans, but also explains the demise of these ancient super-lizards.

THE BIBLE AND ATLANTIS
The video below was the only one I could find so far that links the possibility of the existence of Atlantis with Noah's Flood. However, many interesting points are raised here:
IS THE CITY OF ATLANTIS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE?
"THE BIBLE EXPLAINED" (PODCAST; 2019) WRITEUP FROM THE YOUTUBE WEBPAGE:
"Where did Plato get the idea for his story about the city of Atlantis? Was this a real city? If so, is it mentioned in the Bible? Could Plato have heard stories of the flood of Noah's day and just altered and embellished them until he came out with this mythical city? Here's my theory based on what we know from the Bible and archeology."
