The BC Messenger

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.

Also on this episode:

  • As a Matter of Fact: Genetic Bottleneck?
  • Quote of Note: Isaiah 65:20-22
  • Helen's View: A Day in the Life
