About this Episode
For more information and sources you could check out http://akinforthetruth.net. As mentioned last discussion, when searching the Aqaba Gulf basin for any indications of the Exodus events recorded in the Bible, researchers knew exactly what they were searching for. Now the sea floor off the Nuweiba shoreline has coral, scattered about, making undersea research complicated. As a living organism that tends to adhere to solid objects, not sand or silt, coral, as it grows, will often do so along the lines of the object that it adheres to, defining the original shape of the object. So thereby the coral could preserve the look of the object, long after the object itself has deteriorated and disappeared in the sea water. In his undersea research in the area, and the video-tape documentation, Dr. Moller observed that the coral formations found off the Nuweiba Peninsula differed distinctly from that of corals elsewhere off the Gulf of Aqaba coast. For example, since the sea bed was mostly sand or silt where he was looking, he noted that coral was formed as one would expect when at a site of scattered debris and wreckage. Furthermore, very unique shapes, distinctly circular and attached to shaft-looking formations at right (90 degree) angles were seen at a number of spots on the sea floor. These formations contrast sharply with those found off the north and south coasts of Aqaba, which form dense reefs, often covering acres. The formations off Nuweiba are generally much smaller, and are scattered randomly along the sea floor.

Episode 138: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (4 of 4)
AW Wilder-Smith Smith, a brilliant scientist with three PhD’s in the biological field, clarifies that the spontaneous synthesis of life’s building blocks, and embedding of information within life, is made absolutely impossible by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Episode 137: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (3 of 4)
The second law of thermodynamics builds upon the First law by stating that all energy, which according to the first law cannot be created or destroyed, experiences a universal process of change, and it is a directional change, but it is not an upward change.
Episode 136: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (2 of 4)
We left off last time with the clear statements in Scripture that all things wer created and have been hurled into a downward spiral of devolution and death. These Biblical realities are heavily demonstrated by the laws of thermodynamics.
Episode 135: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (1 of 4)
Thermodynamics is one of those disciplines, heavily based in mathematics, that is supported by universally accepted, scientific laws.
Episode 134: Battle of Snow and Ice (3 of 3)
To conclude our observations regarding prophecy in Scripture that allude to end times judgement, we noted a recent though dwarfish example of upcoming events by looking at Mt. St. Helens.
Episode 133: Battle of Snow and Ice (2 of 3)
Last time we were looking at an interesting scripture found in the ancient book of Job, “Have you entered into the treasures of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?"
Episode 132: The Battle of Snow and Ice (1 of 3)
Water and its characteristics are obviously specially designed to help maintain life on Earth. A very unique property of water is that ice is uniquely less dense than its liquid state, and therefore floats.
Episode 131: Helium (3 of 3)
Thermal escape alone cannot explain the lack of helium in the atmosphere, and so the problem is considered “unsolved”. Could the source of the problem be the assumption that the Earth is 4 billion years old?
Episode 130: Helium (2 of 3)
To explain the significant lack of helium according to an old Earth, evolutionists theorize that helium escapes the atmosphere. But is the temperature of the exosphere base high enough to allow that much helium to escape?
