Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization here at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps.
During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, for two years. Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.

Noah and his sons were part of the flock, the fold and part of a larger people group somewhere in the area where the great flood occurred. They weren't exactly without homes, family or support in their hour of need. They always had a safe refuge, safe port nearby. They just didn't want to go home. The Great Flood was God's way of telling the prodigal sons to go home and to stay put?
Sounds like the wrong answer
Why?
I believe in a worldwide flood, an actual account of Noah and his family.
He seems unsure of his answer.
How so?
That’s how he speaks.
@@victoriaaltun7425 I like Tim.. I guess I just like the Hugh Owens treatment of this subject much better. More and more Im coming to the conclusion that the historicity of Genesis shouldn't be trifled with. Pax!
@@JohnBoysGold Never heard of him. I should check his opinions.
