    Iron and Myth 52: Frankenstein and the Bible

    THE STORY of Frankenstein and his monster can be read as a tale of daddy issues with catastrophic consequences. That's not quite how we see it.  Joining us for a deeper dive into the tale of Frankenstein and his monster is our regular Iron and Myth crew: Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant; Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; and Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel.  The tale of Frankenstein, over 200 years old, has continued to inspire countless adaptations and debates. Brian notes that the narrative encapsulates humanity’s (and the angelic realm’s) primal drive to create life. This inherent desire raises questions about the morality of creation and the responsibilities that come with it.  One cannot discuss Frankenstein without acknowledging its biblical undertones. From the story of Genesis, where knowledge leads to the fall, to the cautionary tales of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch, there is a recurring theme of humanity overstepping its bounds. Doug emphasizes that Victor Frankenstein’s actions mirror those of the Titans in Greek mythology, who faced dire consequences for their hubris. The parallels between Victor's ambition and the biblical figures reveal a cautionary warning about the pursuit of forbidden knowledge.  Today, the themes of Frankenstein are more relevant than ever as we navigate the complexities of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. The discussions around CRISPR technology and AI echo the dilemmas faced by Victor Frankenstein. As we strive to enhance human life, we must confront the ethical implications of our advancements. We discuss how the creation of autonomous life forms could lead to unintended consequences—much like those faced by Victor and his creation.

    Ever feel like your supernatural experiences make you question your sanity? You're not alone.   Many who’ve encountered the unexplained often keep quiet, fearing judgment or disbelief. But it’s crucial to share these experiences. Sharing your story can be healing for you and a beacon for others who feel isolated in their experiences.   Bryan Sawyer (bigfootsofmichigan.com) is a professional actor who fell into the world of cryptid investigation. He explains how his experience in front of the camera has translated into real world Bigfoot investigations, his encounters with Sasquatch in Michigan, and how we integrate the existence of giant hominids and other cryptids, like dogmen, into a Christian worldview.  Follow Bryant's podcast, Bigfoot of America, here: youtube.com/@BigfootofAmerica

    Iron and Myth 51: Zombies, Hollywood, and the Bible

    Zombies can teach us something about ourselves.  In recent years, zombie movies have transitioned from mere horror flicks to a profound commentary on humanity, morality, and the essence of civilization. With the rise of popular series like "The Walking Dead," audiences have been challenged to reflect on deeper themes that resonate beyond the screen.  Joining us to discuss zombies and their relevance to us as Christians, we assemble our regular Iron and Myth panel: Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel; and Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant.  Zombie movies have undergone a remarkable transformation since George Romero’s groundbreaking film, “Night of the Living Dead.” Initially, these movies were simple horror stories centered around gore and survival. However, as society has changed, so have the narratives surrounding zombies. Today, they often reflect contemporary societal fears, such as viral outbreaks and the erosion of humanity. This evolution compels viewers to confront their own values and behaviors in dire situations.  Stories centered on zombies transcend the boundaries of horror; they serve as a profound cultural, moral, and spiritual reflection. These films compel us to consider our core values, the fabric of our communities, and the essence of our humanity. By embracing the lessons imparted within these narratives, we can cultivate a deeper sense of empathy and comprehension in our own lives.   Put simply, how far would we go to save those we love—remembering the words of Jesus, “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

    Boring Aliens

    Who would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens?  Spielberg's first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven't seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date.  For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two protagonists are trying to reach a television studio to share proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Pardon me, but who actually believes the mainstream media anymore? Spielberg may be showing his age, but pretty much everyone under the age of 75 knows that anyone with the laptop and Wi-Fi could get the same information out to the entire world, faster, easier, and with a better chance of being believed than by racing a team of trained security professionals to a broadcast news studio. This movie would have been received a lot better during the height of the popularity of The X-Files.  Meanwhile, aliens of a different type have the United Kingdom rising up in protest after several incidents where new arrivals to the UK took bladed weapons to people of European ancestry. Citizens of the UK want elected officials who have foisted unrestricted immigration on their constituents, held accountable for streets that are increasingly unsafe and budgets that are increasingly unbalanced because of the imported diversity.  Also: 100 days of war with Iran.

    UFOs, Alien Abductions, and Disclosure Day

    The world is being prepped for the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The church needs to be ready with answers. This coming Friday, the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, will be released, and it's almost certain to be a blockbuster. The message of the film, according to Spielberg, is disclosure is imminent. He wants to convince audiences that ET is real, and to challenge people of religious faith to think hard about what that means for their world view.  Guy Malone (alienresistance.org) and Joe Jordan (ce4research.com) are offering a free event Thursday, July 2, 2026 from 3 PM to 8 PM Central Time as part of the annual UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico (details here: christiansymposium.live). You can attend in person or participate in the live stream at youtube.com/@gilberthouse.  Guy and Joe explain their reasons for organizing this symposium, the impact they think Steven Spielberg will have on this discussion, and why this phenomenon is spiritual rather than scientific.  Links: • The documentary Deception: https://youtu.be/h9NEv7Cfilk • Piercing the Cosmic Veil by Joe Jordan and Jason Dezember: https://amzn.to/49H38e2 • The Red Flags of Ufology by Joe Jordan and Guy Malone: https://amzn.to/43neyzX • UAP: End Time Delusion by Joe Jordan: https://amzn.to/3RPBdCw • UFO Cults and the New Millennium by William Alnor: https://bit.ly/3RX7kA8 • Destination: Earth by Derek P.

    Iron and Myth 50: The Blood is the Life - Vampires in Hollywood (and the Bible)

    THE BLOOD is the life. It’s a memorable line from the classic 1939 film Dracula. It’s also a reference to Genesis 9:4–6 and God’s prohibition on the shedding of human blood. The vampire, of course, survives by violating that prohibition on a regular basis.  This month, our Iron and Myth crew—Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth, and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Daniel: Exile in Babylon—discuss the depiction of vampires by Hollywood, their historic descriptions in ancient texts, and the surprising appearance of vampires in the Bible.  Sadly, our friend Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, was unable to connect due to technical problems. We promise to have that corrected for next month!
