Did Noah's Flood Actually Happen? with Dr. Ali Ataie

According to Biblical and Quranic narratives, the flood of Noah was a flood unlike no other. Rain descended in mass from the sky and from the earth and the world was flooded in entirety. It destroyed everything in its path, leaving behind no survivor but a few. But did the Flood really happen or is it simply folklore? 

In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Ali Ataie, professor of comparative religion, to discuss the historical, archeological, testimonial and scientific proofs behind why the flood of Noah existed without a doubt.
