While walking the 12,000-foot Andes Mountains in South America, I found an interesting artifact. It was a shark’s tooth. But how could sharks live in the tops of mountains? After all, don’t sharks belong in the ocean?

These questions have a simple answer. The Bible tells the story of Noah’s flood, a time when God judged mankind for rejecting righteousness. The scripture says, “For forty days the roaring floods prevailed … lifting the boat … above the earth … until finally the water covered all the high mountains … leaving only Noah alive, and those with him in the boat” (Genesis 7:17-23 TLB).

If you do not believe the story of Noah’s flood, then how do you explain sharks swimming on the mountain tops? As for me, I believe God and the Bible.
