Video: Aliens, Nephilim, Dinosaurs & The Bible (What Christian Dads Need to Know)
The Think Institute: What does the Bible teach about non-human life forms? ThinkSquad, do you think you could answer that question? While this might seem like some kind of fringe topic, it’s actually a subject area that is growing in popularity in the culture at large. And the fact is that the Bible actually has plenty to say about it. People want to know about things like angels and demons, aliens, the Nephilim (mentioned in Genesis 6), and a whole slew of other mind-bending entities . The interest in the intersection between the Bible and non-human lifeforms only seems to be growing. Last year, I interviewed Dr. Michael Heiser on “What Everyone Gets Wrong About Demons,” and it’s our most popular video episode to date.
As a father, your kids are going to be wondering about these matters, and you don’t want to leave them to the HIstory Channel’s wild theories about “ancient aliens” or non-Christian sources to tell them non-biblical (and therefore non-truthful) answers. You are their primary disciple-maker, and you should be the one answering their impossible questions. Which means you’ll need some answers yourself.
That’s why I’ve brought on Dr. Jonathan Sarfati for this episode. He was requested by one of our listeners, and he has authored some of the most popular and powerful books on the issues of origins, strongly defending biblical (‘young earth’) creation and refuting the strongest arguments for evolution and millions of years. Jonathan is also a chess master and former New Zealand chess champion. He’s truly a fascinating guy, and I think you’re going to really enjoy—and be helped by—what he has to say about nephilim, dinosaurs, aliens, and fatherhood.
Dr. Sarfati talks about:
-Were the nephilim offspring of angels?
-Was genetic manipulation going on before the Flood?
-Were nephilim… neanderthals?
-How did dinosaurs and other megafauna survive at such extreme sizes?
-What is his theory on the possibility of alien life?
-How can dads lead their families in understanding nephilim, aliens, etc.?
-Is a “broken gene” evidence of common human-ape ancestry?
-Are there different “kinds” of birds?
-Could Dr. Sarfati beat Tim McGrew at chess?
-Is the age of the earth a primary or secondary issue?
-Resources to start researching Young Earth Creation
