The Flood, fossils and faith

I’m going to particularly Focus this morning on the flood of Noah, on how that relates to fossils that we find in the rocks and to our faith. If it didn’t relate to faith, there wouldn’t be much point bringing this on a Sunday morning, would there? Does it matter? Is this of relevance to Christians? Does it really matter whether we believe in a global flood or a local flood in Mesopotamia? Does that really matter?
