Episode 95: Is it all just symbolic? (Biblical Chronology)
Manage episode 443978244 series 3274466
Paul and Todd pick up on their biblical chronology series again as they explore the question everyone's been asking: Could the numbers in Genesis 5 and 11 just be symbols or ways to honor the ancestors or have other nonliteral meaning? After all, if the numbers aren't real lifespans, then there's no point in adding them up to create a chronology. Scholars for years have proposed all sorts of schemes to explain why the numbers are the way they are. Does it all just come down to symbols? Check out the latest "Let's Talk Creation" to find out.
