Did it Rain before the Flood? “This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God […]
Who Were the “Sons of God” in Genesis 6? “Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose” (Gen. 6:1-2). Some […]
It was March of 1898 and the British were building a railway bridge of the river Tsavo in Kenya.
