26. Note that Jesus also spoke quite “a-matter-of-factly” about the historical Noah himself and the Flood in the parallel texts of Matthew 24:37–39 and Luke 17:27 in terms of both its sure historical occurrence and its connection to a certain just-as-sure future occurrence.

28. As an OEC, Ross, for instance, seems to support a Flood timing of about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. See Ross, A Matter of Days, 223. His calculation is based on a combination of certain specific historical markers (such as a relative dating for Abraham at about four thousand years ago and the interpretation of the Peleg text of Genesis 10:25 to refer to the breaking up of the Bering Strait land bridge at about 11,000 years ago) and the assumption that the life spans recorded in the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 are proportional to the actual passage of time. As shall be shown later, we advocate for a Flood time even much further back in time than does Ross.
29. Ross possibly disputes this. See Ross, The Genesis Question, 159–60. Here he states: “The assumption that clear evidence ‘should’ remain must be challenged. The Flood, though massive, lasted but one year and ten days. A flood of such brief duration typically does not leave a deposit substantial enough to be positively identified thousands of years later. . . . a one-year Flood in the region of Mesopotamia, even to a depth of two or three hundred feet, may leave behind insufficient evidence for a positive geological identification ten to forty thousand years later.” First, keep in mind that Ross’s skepticism is grounded in a regional Flood view rather than in a global Flood view, which we refute. Second, in partial agreement with Ross, there is no doubt that there are some geological evidences—particularly depositional—which were either never substantial enough nor made permanent enough to clearly identify today as being Noahic. This will be discussed later.
