Archaeology, the Bible, and Documentaries
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:37 pm
I watched a documentary that was on Netflix a couple months ago, I believe it was called "Is Genesis History?"
It was a peculiar documentary; filled with some true and some false, like many of these things.
What I appreciated the most about it was analyzing geology and fossils from a Biblical/flood perspective.
They talked about how pre-flood, there was likely a completely different climate, where it didn't rain, but rather water was stored in the atmosphere creating a continuous tropical climate.
They also analyzed how fossils and the Grand Canyon and other rock layers show evidence of catastrophic and instant layering, that is if one isn't trying to impress a 4 billion geologic timescale upon the data.
I wasn't a creationist before TPOT. I wasn't an evolutionist either, but I didn't necessarily believe the 7 day account. I do now. There is evidence, there is likelihood, and more importantly there is God's testimony.
Anyways, I thought I'd pass it along. Didn't agree with everything the scientists said, I believe there was some Trinitarian doctrine there, but it was good to see a solid group of evolutionist resistors in the geology/archaeology field.
Victor, you mentioned a documentary about Exodus on Facebook. Was it "Patterns of Evidence: Exodus?"
