Did Noah’s flood cover the Himalayan mountains?

by John D. Morris, Ph.D.

Few doctrines in Scripture are as clearly taught as the global nature of the Great Flood in Noah's day. Genesis clearly teaches that "the waters .... increased greatly . . and the mountains were covered" (Genesis 7:18-20). Through the centuries, few Christians questioned this doctrine. The Bible said it, and that was enough - until the late 1700s that is.
