The Great Debate on Science and the Bible

Friends,

 

Right after New Year's last year we taped one of the most popular series
we've ever aired, The Great Debate on Science and the Bible.  My guests were
experts and gentlemen, and they all came because you asked us to invite
them.  Two were astrophysicists and two were theologians.

One of the reasons The John Ankerberg Show is unique is that Christian
scholars in the church trust us to treat them fairly and allow them to
present the issues as they see fit.  It also allows you to hear
conversations that you would hear no place else, and certainly on no other
Christian television program.  I believe these programs are very helpful.
For my part, I put in more than 200 hours of study just preparing for this
one series.

 

My guests were Mr. Ken Ham and astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle of Answers in
Genesis, debating astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross of Reasons To Believe, and
Dr. Walter Kaiser, distinguished professor of Old Testament and former
President of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.

 

This was the first time that Hugh Ross and Ken Ham debated these issues
together, and I believe that we covered the topics that you wanted to hear.
I appreciated the fact that even though these men strongly differ on some
points, all four of them are  love Jesus Christ with all their heart.  They
all believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God.  They do not
believe in evolution.  They all believe Genesis is a real historical
account.  They all believe God supernaturally created all the plants and
animals and Adam and Eve.

 

In the first four programs we covered what the Bible is literally teaching
about when and how God created.  The second part dealt with science and the
record of nature.  What does it tell us about the age of the universe, the
age of the Earth, and when God created Adam and Eve?

 

We taped more programs then we expected, 10 to be exact.  This means, that
if you order the entire package of eight programs for $78 that we
advertised, we will include two additional half-hour television programs as
a bonus, absolutely free.  Here are the topics that we covered in this
important debate.

 

PART ONE

 

Program 1:  The meaning of the word "day" is the focal point of the
controversy in the church of when God created.  What is the literal,
biblical meaning of the word "day" in Genesis 1&2?  Is it six 24-hour days
or six consecutive long periods of time?

 

Program 2:  When "yom" (day) is used with a number (like 1, 2, 3) in the Old
Testament, does it mean the day referred to is always 24 hours?  What does
the phrase, "evening and morning" mean?  Why wasn't it used with the seventh
day?

 

Program 3:  What kind of world did God create?  Was there any death to
plants and animals before Adam sinned?

 

Program 4:  If one holds that animals and plants died before Adam sinned,
does this alter the Doctrine of the Atonement? Does it undermine the Gospel
and the authority of Scripture?

 

PART TWO

 

Program 5:  Science and the Bible: What does God tell us in the Bible about
the record of nature?  Is what we see in the record of nature completely
trustworthy and reliable?

 

Program 6:  Did God make 24-hour days on the fourth day? Did God make the
sun, moon, and the stars on the fourth day, or did God transform Earth's
atmosphere so that the sun, moon and stars became visible from Earth's
surface?

 

Program 7:  Is the Big Bang a good scientific and biblical model? Does
evidence from astronomy tell us the universe is old?  Did God create things
with the appearance of age?

 

Program 8:  Was Noah's flood universal (and killed all of humanity except
Noah and his family)but not global?  Or, was it both universal and global?

 

BONUS PROGRAMS

 

Program 9:  Question to both sides:  What biblical evidence would persuade
you that you are wrong and the other side is right?  Does the comparison of
the creation days with a six-day workweek in Exodus 20:9 prove the creation
days are 24-hours?  Is the seventh creation day (the

Sabbath) still going on according to Hebrew 4:10?

 

Program 10:  Do the biblical genealogies tell us how many years ago Adam
lived? Was Archbishop Ussher's date of October 3, 4004 B.C. right or wrong?

 

To order these important television programs, go to www.johnankerberg.org.
There is a lot of information that you can only get by slowly listening to
it over and over, and then looking up the verses in the Bible.  There were
many questions I wanted to ask and never had time to do so.  I told my
guests that somewhere in the future we might want to tape another series.

 

For the sake of the Gospel,

 

Dr. John F. Ankerberg

President
