RSF: Assemblies of God Going Soft
This is the show from Friday February 18th, 2011.
SUMMARY:
* Just When the Science Backs Genesis, Denominations Back Off:
Real Science Friday co-hosts
Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss an article in Ken Ham's
Answers magazine on Christian denominations like the Assemblies of God and the Presbyterian Church of America that are tolerating, or even promoting, a rejection of the biblical creation account of a young earth and the global flood. Bob and Fred talk about the billions of years of missing igneous rock, billions of years of missing nickel from meteorites, etc., all missing if the earthy actually were billions of years old.
* The Bible and the Value of Pi: The Bible's alternative spelling for the Hebrew word for "circumference" used in First Kings presents the value of pi
accurately to four digits.
