All Rise with Abdu Murray

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson claimed that if all you had was the Bible, you would gain a false view of the universe. However, fellow astrophysicist and our expert witness, Dr. Hugh Ross, explains to us that if Dr. Tyson had applied his own scientific method to the Bible, he would have found a library of books full of accurate scientific insights. All Rise is a listener and donor-supported presentation from Embrace the Truth.
