Enlightening discussions that will change the way you think about the ancient Old Testament. The biblical accounts are not myth or legend; in fact they are more real than you ever imagined. Each month brings you Bible/science research results you won't hear anywhere else, and why it matters for you today. Your hosts, Steve and Jennifer Hall, present a collage of topics from the research work of Dr. Gerald Aardsma (The Biblical Chronologist), providing a desperately needed data-rich apologetic for the foundations of the Christian faith.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971"},"episode":{"title":"Aging: The way it was, the way it is, and where things stand.","slug":"aging-the-way-it-was-the-way-it-is-and-where-things-stand","published_at":"2025-02-03T16:49:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971/aging-the-way-it-was-the-way-it-is-and-where-things-stand","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/bcmessenger/1878997","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/148426/1878997/bcmessenger/2025_02_03_16_20_19_859d72a1-3ced-4840-a446-4592edd98bf2.mp3","summary":"[Season 3, Episode 7] We introduce this month's topic by discussing a recent video we saw of Dick Van Dyke, who has recently turned 99 years old. This sweet but heart-wrenching video shows clips of Van Dyke as a young entertainer, placed in quick succession beside clips of him as a 99-year-old. Time is a thief when it comes to aging. After a quick review of what we can learn from the biblical data on aging, we turn our attention to a full update on the aging research happening here at The Biblical Chronologist . Where do things stand with the current theory of aging, current recommendations, communications efforts, and what does this all mean for our listeners? Included in the discussion is an explanation of the recent NR recommendation by Dr. Aardsma. Also on this episode: As a Matter of Fact: Genetic Bottleneck?
