"Who was Noah’s youngest son?" (Alleged Contradiction #E6732)
And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 5:32
See also: Genesis 6:10, Genesis 7:13, Genesis 9:18, Genesis 10:1, and I Chronicles 1:4
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son [Ham] had done unto him.
Genesis 9:24
Response
The fact that Genesis 5:32 lists the order as Shem, Ham, and Japheth (the same order is in every other verse that mentions them together) does not mean that this is the birth order. They could be listed based on importance. For instance, Abraham is listed first of the sons of Terah, but he was not born first. Furthermore, Genesis 9:24 says Ham was Noah’s younger son, not necessarily the youngest.
