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":"Discoveries That Seemed Delusional","slug":"discoveries-that-seemed-delusional","published_at":"2024-09-03T15:59:28+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971/discoveries-that-seemed-delusional","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/bcmessenger/1640273","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/148426/1640273/bcmessenger/2024_09_03_15_03_13_844d8c78-f35d-4d9f-99dc-fae270679d51.mp3","summary":"[Season 3, Episode 2] A well-dressed lady, probably in her late 60s, picked up a copy of Dr. Aardsma's book Aging: Cause and Cure at a display table. She surveyed the covers, and then set the book down saying, \"That's just too much.\" Talking about aging as a curable disease does sound crazy today. Crazier still is the idea that the cure for aging is now known, and topping it all off, that the cure has been found through data contained in the ancient book of Genesis. Looking back through time, we can see that although many world-changing ideas and discoveries initially sounded too crazy to be true, those ideas eventually became accepted as fact, and those discoveries are now embraced by society. This month we take a look at four historical examples of ideas that at first seemed too crazy to be true... but ended up changing the world. Also on this episode: A Look Ahead: Next month's October 2024 podcast will be dealing with climate change Research Update: Six additional newsletters published by Dr. Aardsma continuing to piece together the route of the Exodus \"As a Matter of Fact...\": Have chariot wheels really been found in the Red Sea?
