When Ancient Worlds Collide Genesis And Mesopotamia

Описание: The Genesis flood story isn't original. But that's not what you think.

When archaeologists discovered ancient Babylonian flood stories in 1872, it created a crisis: the Genesis account had striking similarities to pagan myths written centuries earlier. Same plot. Same details. Same structure.

For 150 years, skeptics have used this to attack biblical authority. But what if they're completely missing the point?

This video reveals what happens when Genesis and ancient Mesopotamia collide—and why the answer is way more sophisticated than "one copied the other."

You'll discover that the biblical authors KNEW these Mesopotamian stories. And they used them brilliantly to subvert pagan theology and proclaim revolutionary truth about God, humanity, and covenant.

This isn't faith vs. scholarship. This is faith deepened BY scholarship.
