I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Noah’s Ark, and I know that I have so much more to learn about this miraculous moment in history. That’s why I’m excited to share this this information with you! See below…
Filmmakers Genesis Apologetics and Sevenfold Filmsannounce the release of their groundbreaking new documentary, “The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,” which sets sail in theaters this week, Wednesday,March 20, and Thursday, March 21, 2024,from Fathom Events. This long-awaited cinematic voyage unveils not only undeniable evidence of Noah’s flood but also the astonishing parallels between Noah’s flood and the end times, carrying a very pertinent message for humanity today. “The Ark and The Darkness” depicts the epic tale over 4,000 years old, preserved in ancient writings from every major culture around the world. Many thought it was only a myth, but recent discoveries confirm what the Bible has said all along.
Answers in Genesis President, Ken Ham said, as part of his endorsement of the film in regard to Noah’s flood, “This is a documentary-style movie with some impressive animation, and it features various interview segments with a number of creation scientists, including some from Answers in Genesis (such as AiG’s geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, paleontologist Dr. Gabriela Haynes, and researcher and speaker Dr. Terry Mortenson).”
Below is the trailer:
“‘The Ark and The Darkness’ proves and illuminates the great flood of the Bible is historical,” said Dr. Dan A. Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics and executive producer of the film. “We are excited to introduce an arsenal of evidence that is both irrefutable and compelling.”

Most of the church — and the world — today either ignore the Genesis flood or believe it wasn’t global and/or recently, that it wasn’t geologically significant, and that the age of the earth doesn’t matter. But if it really happened — and happened when the Bible says it did — it can be a life changer.
“Genesis Apologetics and Sevenfold Films seek to set our culture straight,” says Biddle.“We know from the Bible that the past is the key to the present. Understanding the flood is crucial to understanding why the world is the way it is today, not just from a geological standpoint, but to understanding humanity.”
“The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,” promises an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling and demonstrates the filmmakers’ unwavering passion for crafting a high-fidelity film of biblical proportions. Their goal is to present the most Biblically accurate representation of Noah’s flood ever released in theaters.
“Our co-producer and director Sevenfold Films does an amazing job crafting the most photo-realistic representation of Noah’s flood to ever be in the theaters,” says Biddle. “We seek to counteract the distorted picture of Noah and the ark continually represented in our modern entertainment, such as the fictionalized movie, “Noah,” which distorts the Bible in a nonsensible way. We also address our culture’s imbedded presupposition of evolution, and its lack of awareness of the facts and evidence.”
The information presented in the film, “The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,”by Genesis Apologetics and award-winning Sevenfold Films’ director of Genesis: Paradise Lost, Sevenfold Films, through interviewswithleading Biblical apologists and Creation Scientists, shows the latest scientific evidence pointing to Noah’s flood. Ancient history, volcanism, the fossil record — all of these and more converge on one simple point: Noah’s flood is not a myth, it actually happened, and more recently than you might think. Filmed at the Answers in Genesis “Ark Encounter” (full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark) in Kentucky, with interviews filmed at Liberty University Bible Museum, this movie features a team of leading scientists, including Dr. John Sanford (Genetics, Logos Research Association); Dr. Gabriela Haynes (Paleontology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Andrew Snelling (Geology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. John Baumgardner (Geophysics, Liberty University); Dr. Terry Mortenson; (Theology/Geology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Charles Jackson (Professor/Theology, Points of Origin Ministries); Dr. Tim Chaffey (Theology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Randall Price (Theology/History Liberty University); Dr. Andrew Fabich (Microbiology, Truett McConnel University); and Dr. Carl Werner (Medical Doctor, Evolution, Grand Experiment).
Genesis Apologetics provides Christian families with Biblical Creation training to help them stand strong in the faith. They are committed to providing Biblically and scientifically-based answers to the evolutionary theory that many children are taught in public schools. Their mission is to strengthen the faith of God’s children by grounding them in biblical truth and equipping them to discern error, one divine appointment at a time.
