About this episode

Imagine a world where humans lived for centuries…Animals grew gradually, matured over decades, and lived far longer than anything we see today. According to the Bible, this wasn’t unusual or supernatural, it was simply the way life worked before the Flood. What’s remarkable is that clues to this long-lost world may

still be preserved today, not just in Scripture, but in fossils. Fossilized bones are revealing growth patterns that point to longer lifespans in birds, dinosaurs and other creatures that once inhabited the earth. Papers and Research: https://www.icr.org/content/oysters-a... More...
