These and other related statements have recently been made by people interacting with our podcast content.

This month we delve into the following questions:

• How is it possible to start with the Bible as "data"?
• Can the scientific method be applied to the Bible?
• What do we mean by the Bible/science method of research and discovery?

Also on this episode:

• Research Update: Climate Change
• Helen's View: "Coronary Christians"

We introduce this month's topic by discussing a recent video we saw of Dick Van Dyke, who has recently turned 99 years old. This sweet but heart-wrenching video shows clips of Van Dyke as a young entertainer, placed in quick succession beside clips of him as a 99-year-old.

Time is a thief when it comes to aging.

After a quick review of what we can learn from the biblical data on aging, we turn our attention to a full update on the aging research happening here at The Biblical Chronologist. Where do things stand with the current theory of aging, current recommendations, communications efforts, and what does this all mean for our listeners?

Included in the discussion is an explanation of the recent NR recommendation by Dr. Aardsma.

Imhotep is a notable and intriguing figure from ancient Egyptian history. Trusted as closest advisor (vizier) to the Pharoah Djoser, his roles included architect, poet, high priest, physician, and carpenter. He is history's first physician known by name today, and is credited with the authorship of two ancient medical documents.

Proper chronology places Imhotep at exactly the same time as the biblical Joseph, whom the Bible portrays as having extraordinary leadership skills and acting as closest advisor to Pharoah. Was the biblical Joseph the same person as the Egyptian Imhotep? On this episode we consider, from several angles, the strong correlations between the two historical figures.

Imhotep's name has been mentioned in modern news lately, in connection with—of all things—a possible cure for cancer. This cancer research is fascinating, especially when coupled with the likely connection between Imhotep and the biblical Joseph.
