This is the second half of Scott interviewing Dr. Scripture about the trip "around" the Pacific Ocean. Where Ben and Karen went, what they saw and what was Australia like is what Dr. Scripture describes--especially his experience scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
Scott interviews Dr. Scripture about a trip around the Pacific he and Karen had planned many years ago. They were finally able to go this Fall, traveling to Hawaii, Japan and Australia.
Is it even thinkable that an animal could produce fire from its body? The answer is YES. The precedent is set by the Bombardier Beetle, pronounced bomba-deer (Dr. Scripture says in wrong throughout the program--oooops!)
Was Leviathan a real animal or as many think, merely a symbolic description of evil or disaster? Reasons to understand Leviathan was truly a living, fire breathing dragon are discussed.
Job chapter 41 describes Leviathan--a terrible dragon. However, Job introduces this diabolical beast in association with all his torment in the beginning of Job, Job 3:8.
We all deal with the same data, the differences in how old a creationist thinks the universe is is due to how the data is interpreted, and how reliable they think the data is. Dark matter and energy, for example, is a key issue.
Creationists do differ on the age of the universe. Often referred to as young earth or old earth creationists, this two part program discusses some of the arguments the two views present.
In an effort to explain how an animal that is said to have been extinct for 210 million years is painted on the cave walls by the San people of South Africa, evolutionists conclude these people were interested in paleontology about 200 years ago.
God continues challenging Job in response to things Job had said about the Lord. Thus, in chapter 40 verses 1-14, He repeats back to Job some of what Job had said. Then starting in verse 15, the Lord describes a creature that doesn’t exist—at least today.
In Job 38:33 through chapter 39, the Creator describes the characteristics and abilities of several of the amazing animals He made.
As the Creator challenges Job with His works in creation, Job 38:31-33 reveal some detail about the arrangement of stars in two constellations, the Pleiades and Orion, that astronomers have only discovered in the last few decades.
Job refers to ice and snow more than any other book of the Bible. Is it because the memory of a recent ice age is fresh in the minds of those living at that time? The idea is discussed.
In Job 38, verses 8-11 seem to refer to God's creative work on Days 2 and 3. From verse 12 through 30 then, He sites phenomena we know about but can hardly explain--the point being He, the Creator, DOES understand it all.
In Job chapter 38:4-6 the Creator reveals His design for the planet Earth. In Job 38:7 is the only clue in Scripture about WHEN the angels were created. Verses 8-11 relate to days 2 and 3 of creation.
Dr. Menton explains the wonders of the created eye and the meaning of the BIBLICAL term "apple of the eye."
A few years ago the "Creation Community" lost a great spokesman, Dr. David Menton. Professor for decades in Washington University (St. Louis) Medical School, and part of Answers In Genesis, his expertise in biological systems is greatly missed. Dr. Scripture interviewed Dr. Menton in 2019; what we discussed is still totally relevant.
We've come to chapter 38; the point at which the Creator Himself enters the "debate." He speaks to Job in a whirlwind--the sense being the Lord is not going to be gentle. In verses 4-6 God describes the design of the earth.
Elihu rebukes Job for his arrogance and Job's friends for their mistaken condemnation of Job. Elihu demonstrates a thorough understanding of the nature of Man, and highlights God's power shown in a thunderstorm.
What's beyond space; where is the flaming sword that guarded Eden; what will we do forever in heaven? Dr. Scripture addresses these and other questions.
Dr. Scripture spoke about creation to middle schoolers at Camp Horizon in central Florida; they had LOTS of questions. Related to Job 38:7, many of the questions were about angels. In this program we address them.
Starting in chapter 32, a "young" man named Elihu enters the discussion. His comments allude to the idea that Job and his colleagues lived much longer lives than we do today. Elihu also reveals an understanding of Gen 2:7.
Cavemen and human rights; discovered and socially applied in just our modern era? In Job chapters 30 and 31 these ideas are discussed by Job as he laments his condition.
In Job 28, Job describes the pursuit of wealth and points out that wisdom should be pursued to an even greater extent. However, Job laments, wisdom cannot be found by Man. Such a pessimistic conclusion is the result of his intense suffering. Yet he proclaims, "the fear of the Lord that is wisdom."
In Job chapters 27 and 28, Job laments the suffering the Almighty is putting him through, but he refuses to curse God or accuse Him of wrongdoing. Job also refuses to confess to wrongdoing that he did not commit.
Mark describes the soft unfossilized tissue found in dinosaur bones and the significance of these kinds of discoveries for the claims evolutionary theory makes concerning their age.
Mark Armitage has published articles describing and showing electron micrographs of unfossilized tissue in dinosaur remains. In part 1 of this interview his background and an initial description of his findings are presented.
Most people are familiar with the 10 Commandments of Exodus 20 (even if they don't know what they are). There is also an interesting possibility that there are 10 Commandments in the creation account of Genesis chapter 1.
More comparisons are made between Job's discourse and Paul's "Mars Hill" sermon. One curious aspect of Paul's message is he seems to share only part of the gospel. In these passages both Job and Paul focus on the need to fear God.
Paul's sermon on Mars Hill in Acts 17 has several similarities to Job's discourse in Job 26. Some comparisons and contrasts are discussed; the identity of God as Creator is key.
Romans 5:12 indicates that death entered the world because of Adam's sin. However, the meaning or "kind" of death that entered the world does not have a simple answer.
