I present three problems with Hugh Ross' local flood model. First, it was not possible to sustain Ross' proposed height of local flood water in Mesopotamia, because the water would have efficiently and rapidly drained through the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz into the Indian Ocean. Second, the current of this draining water would have carried the Ark far from Mesopotamia, making it impossible for the Ark to have landed in northern Mesopotamia as Ross maintains. Third, at its greatest extent, the water level in Ross' local flood model falls far lower than the elevation of the location that Ross says the Ark landed. These difficulties render Ross' local flood model physically impossible. This is in addition to numerous biblical issues.
