Marine fossils are also found high in the Himalayas, the world’s tallest mountain range, reaching up to 29,029 feet (8,848 m) above sea level.3 For example, fossil ammonites (coiled marine cephalopods) are found in limestone beds in the Himalayas of Nepal. All geologists agree that ocean waters must have buried these marine fossils in these limestone beds. So how did these marine limestone beds get high up in the Himalayas? – answersingenesis.org
God is great and I am small.
Amos 4:13
Revelation 20:11-15
There were people in Noah’s day who flaunted their sin before God until they died. There are people today who are doing the same until judgment comes.
Sad

Genesis 6:5-8 – It is a tragedy that so many died in the flood, but what was worse was that they had turned their backs on God.
I Peter 3:20
Genesis 6:3, 6
We would probably grieve for those who were not on the ark.
