Creation science Quote by Ken Ham
““Another milestone with geological implications is day 150. At this stage of the Flood we are told that the ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat. This implies that modern mountain building, at least in what we now call the Middle East, had begun (see also Psalm 104:8–9).19 Furthermore, if our current understanding of mountain building is correct, for the mountains of Ararat to have been formed requires the Eurasian Plate, African Plate, and Arabian Plate to be colliding with one another (perhaps with some contribution from movement of the Indian Plate).””
About This Quote
The Ark’s landing at Ararat suggests ancient mountain formation involved plate collisions, implying modern geology aligns with a young‑earth view.
In simple terms: Ararat’s location points to plate tectonics in a young‑earth framework.
