My parents would be keeping themselves awake listening to Coast to Coast Radio and I remember falling asleep as a kid to that and loving those kind of stories. I think what we're trying to do is take that and provide an academic research context to that as much as you can. And biblical paradigm.

He was like their in-house theologian for a while, or more or less the in-house doctor for a long time.

It's all peer-reviewed. Mike would famously say that he had no new ideas. He just compiled them. His story is really fascinating. He goes all the way through seminary, gets his PhD in ancient Semitic languages and the Old Testament, and then has this seminal experience where one of his Colleague says, have you read Psalm 82 recently? Says, yeah, he read it in Hebrew.

I don't know, goes back and reads it and realizes like, oh my gosh, like this connects to Deuteronomy 32 to Genesis 6. These are all, the Hebrews are the same. What does this mean? And it's the whole divine counsel.

That's what we were talking about. So the idea of Gen 6 comes out of Genesis 3, which is the first prophecy. It's God prophesying, saying that the... the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent. It's the prophecy of Christ, right? And what you have happen downstream is Genesis 6, which is an angelic rebellion at Mount Hermon.

And Mike has a book called Reversing Hermon, which is fascinating. He talked about reversing Babel, same idea. But you have angels, fallen angels taking wives and creating Nephilim, what's called a seed war.

So they are, in a lot of ways, they're trying to breed out humanity for the idea then if you cannot, if you have no more humans, the seed of the woman cannot defeat the head, crush that serpent, can't beat the dragon, right? So you have the seed war. that comes downstream as well. And then that makes the flood make a lot more sense. And that's where the giants come from.

So that's the other thing, right? Progressive Christianity has a really hard time with the conquest of Joshua, right? Well, all the violence in particular. Well, it's the number one objection that you're going to get from an atheist on. God sanctions genocide. Yeah. And you serve that God. He's not a good God. And I think that's the problem is you mentioned it. Like Moses, they have the spies.
