Did the early Earth truly resemble a “water world”? And could a recent study on the Earth's mantle actually support the biblical flood narrative?
I’m David Rives, and on tonight’s show, we’re diving into the fascinating intersection of cutting-edge science and biblical truth. A new article from the AGU Newsroom explores the idea that Earth’s mantle once held vast amounts of water—enough to submerge the entire planet. We’ll break down the findings, highlight where science aligns with scripture, and examine how this shapes our understanding of Genesis and the global Flood.
Plus—Michael Maughon joins us in-studio with live reptiles to explore an amazing new discovery: geckos may have a “sixth sense” that helps them detect ground vibrations! It's another stunning example of intentional design.
Then, science writer Doug Velting reveals the surprising brilliance behind the porcupine—an animal engineered not just for defense, but for survival and balance.
We’ll also touch on how these Earth-bound discoveries are shaping our efforts to explore space—unlocking oxygen from lunar regolith and Martian soil, and raising big questions about stewardship, design, and our role in God’s universe.
