Join us as Eric Hovind sits down with Henry B. Smith Jr. to dive into one of the most overlooked pieces of evidence in Genesis… the lifespans of the patriarchs and how they are tightly woven into the chronology of the text itself.
Are the patriarchal lifespans meant to be taken literally? How do they connect to the broader timeline of Genesis? And why is it that only young-earth creationism can account for all the data, while old-earth views fail to properly handle the text?
This is more than a discussion about numbers. It’s about whether Genesis stands as real history or collapses into allegory.
If you’ve ever been told these ages can’t be trusted, or don’t matter, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
