*Henry B. Smith, Jr: is our guest. He's the Administrative Director of the Shiloh Excavations with Associates for Biblical Research (ABR). Henry is the host of both ABR's podcast and television program, Digging for Truth. Henry was a square supervisor at the Khirbet el-Maqatir Excavations in 2012 and 2013, and at Shiloh in 2017 and 2018. Born and raised in northwestern NJ, he earned a Bachelor’s in Economics from Rutgers and later graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Religion degree, emphasizing apologetics and Biblical languages. He is presently a PhD student in the Biblical Studies program at Amridge University. He is presently heading up the The Genesis 5 and 11 Genealogy and Chronology Research Project for ABR, authoring numerous works and videos on the subject, including: Primeval Chronology Restored, The Case for the Septuagint's Chronology in Genesis 5 and 11, and On the Authenticity of Kainan, Son of Arpachshad. *Manuscript Traditions: Here is a chart of the genealogies of Genesis 5 & 11 in all three manuscripts that underlie the translations of the Bible we use today. (the Masoretic, the Septuagint, and the Samaritan Pentateuch). *Dismissing the Septuagint? Hear Bob address the topic of the Septuagint with Ann Habermill on the air, and in his Bible study through Isaiah. *Chronomessianism: Hear about the history of chronological messianic speculation at the time of Jesus, and afterward. *Motive, Means & Opportunity: Could the spiritual conflict regarding Jesus' Messiahship have inspired a calculated effort to change the texts? Hear Henry's evidence, check out the links above, and form your own opinion. *No Excuses: We're thankful to have the inerrant Word of God available to us. The Holy Spirit assures us "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart...” (Rom 10:8) . Whether one believes in the providential preservation of the text itself, or the necessity for systematic and serious studies of the scriptures present in a variety of manuscript & translations, this we know: "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse..." (Rom 1:18-20).

Next Week! Click through the links above for lots more on the topic, and tune in for part 2 of the broadcast and hear all about the controversy surrounding the begetting ages in Genesis, and hear Henry's conclusions.    

DNA & Dark Matter, & the Pre-Flood World with Ryan Williams *Monster Millipede: Ryan Williams joins Fred in the studio to discuss the latest Creation Magazine from Creation Ministries International! Hear how the pre-flood world was home to GIANT millipedes, dragonflies, and scorpions! *Plasma NOT Dark Matter: The four states of matter in creation help define reality, and include plasma, which eliminates the necessity for  dark matter, dark energy, (or the tooth fairy) to explain galaxy rotation velocities.   *DNA Denies Evolution: The discovery of a DNA folding mechanism reveals the intricate programming of DNA and the challenges it poses to evolutionary models.   Short and Sweet: Check out the latest RSR video "short" showing how some people just can't handle the truth;  that the sophistication of the topoisomerase enzymes and the zinc finger protein refute evolution.   *Webb Upsets Hubble (again): The James Webb telescope continues to intensify the CRISIS in Big Bang cosmology, particularly in relation to the Hubble constant and the alleged rate of universe expansion. *Flesh Eating Wildcats: Listener discretion advised! (Especially cat lovers). But seriously folks... the extinction of the Scottish wildcat supports the biblical classification scheme of "kinds" and refutes secular assertions regarding the diversity of speciation. *Dolphin's Detectors: The dolphin's ability to detect electric fields is another in a growing list of observed evidence that refutes vestigial structures and organs, and supports the reality of sophisticated design in God's Creation. *Under Pressure: Data resulting from a scientist spending 93 days at the bottom of the Atlantic, raises interesting questions about atmospheric pressure before Noah's flood.  

*Aliens, A.I. and Original Material: Hear how the "godfather of A.I." is just another arrogant communist! Plus, get RSR's theory for why A.I. might be keeping us from meeting all those space aliens! (Compare it to that of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, and you be the judge). *Not so Interesting Celebrity of the Week: What fish can be born a boy, then become a girl? It's the same kind of fish (the one with the culturally subversive friend named Dori) in Finding Nemo ; ) *Millions, Billions & Trillions: are lots! How much! Lot's! (especially trillions)! *Support RSR: Speaking of millions! Now that the government classifies anyone who earns a million dollars in their lifetime a "millionaire", we call upon all you potential millionaires out there to donate or subscribe to keep RSR on the air! *Racing on Eggshells: Hear all about racemization and the preservation of amino acids from a biblical, and from a secular perspective, and you be the judge! *Mushy Brains: Evolutionists always love to see headlines that allege things took place over 10,000 years ago. *Dim Side of Moon: Hear NASA Administrator Bill Nelson speak for all bureaucrats regarding their expertise in the fields for which they manage bureaus. *How "Random" Points to God: God uses randomness in His design, (and men mimic Him to bring us the latest ideas and technologies!
