Learn with Dr. Bob
Robert Wright, Ph.D., travels the country visiting significant geological, paleontological, and historic sites; he shares his experiences and interprets the sites from a Biblical perspective. Through the lessons here, you can join him in these adventures. Each lesson includes a video of Dr. Bob's visit, supplemental information, scripture references, and a worksheet to review.
These visits are part of our effort to strengthen believers of all ages.
They are free of charge, but copying or redistributing them is prohibited. Please share the link with anyone interested.
Plant Fossils Across Continental Boundaries
The worldwide distribution of plant fossils, particularly the identical assemblages that match across restored continental boundaries, supports the interpretation that the fossil record resulted from the destruction of ecosystems during the global Flood.
Secret and Sacred
We need not be uncomfortable with the language of secret and sacred. The Bible itself uses both. The result is not exclusion for its own sake, but the preservation of what is holy so that those who seek the Lord in faith may still find what He has prepared for them.
The Seed of the Serpent in Genesis 3:15
Genesis 3:15 is the foundational promise of the Redeemer, the Seed who crushes the serpent’s head. Every true account of early history includes this hope; alternate histories that omit it strip away the gospel. The verse does not introduce a competing biological lineage.
One Taken, One Left: What Jesus Really Said
The hope in the passage is the same hope Noah carried and the same hope Lot walked out with. Those who listen to the warning and enter the place of safety God provides are the ones left standing when judgment has passed.
The Sons of God, the Nephilim, and the Watchers
When we read Genesis 6 with the help of Moses 8, we see not a story of angelic hybrids drawn from non-canonical sources but a story of covenant sons and daughters who sold themselves by leaving the Lord’s way. The resulting violence and corruption brought the Flood.
Why Life Did Not Come from Water
Water is perfectly suited to the needs of living organisms that already possess the machinery to manage it. It is poorly suited to the unguided assembly of that machinery.
The Creation of Eve from Adam’s “Rib” and Her Role as Ezer Kenegdo
Linguistic Depth, Theological Power, Military Strength, and Biological Marvels
The Image That Speaks
Man is not ruled by ancestral instincts. He is addressed by the living God. That address is the most observable fact of human history. It is written on every conscience, echoed in every culture, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, “who is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
Human Nature, Ancestral Instincts, and the Image of God
Man is not ruled by ancestral instincts. He is addressed by the living God. That address is the most observable fact of human history. It is written on every conscience, echoed in every culture, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, “who is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
Wisdom, Women, and Vapor
These texts do not offer a technique for controlling outcomes. They offer a way of walking. Begin with reverence for the LORD. Receive His wisdom as a gift. Love her the way one loves what keeps you alive.
Utah’s Window into the Global Flood
The rocks of Utah, like the rocks of the Grand Canyon and so many other places we have visited, keep pointing us back to that hope. Keep studying the evidence. It all testifies of Him.
The Flawed Council of Nicaea
The striking lack of biblical foundation for its key formulations only underscores how thoroughly the outcome rested on human reasoning, imported philosophy, political necessity, and institutional power rather than on the plain teaching of scripture.
The Bible's Harmony: Addressing Proposed Inconsistencies with Faithful Eyes
Faithful scholarship, drawing on careful exegesis, knowledge of ancient Near Eastern storytelling practices, and a high view of Scripture, has repeatedly shown that these difficulties are not fatal flaws. They are invitations to dig deeper.
The Younger Dryas: Rapid Oscillations in Earth’s Climate Recovery After the Flood
The Younger Dryas is simply one of the prominent climate oscillations that occurred while the earth was recovering from those Flood conditions.
The RNA-First Theory: Why It Cannot Work and Why God’s Design Still Stands
The failure of the RNA world hypothesis does not leave us without an answer. It leaves us with the answer the Bible has always given: life began by the word of the living God. The same Creator who formed the first cells continues to hold all things together, and in Christ we find both the origin of life and the hope of new life
The Nations in the Hand of God: How the Civilizations of the Ancient World Shaped the Path of Israel
From the first page of Genesis to the closing vision of Revelation, the Bible presents history as the purposeful work of the living God. He creates, He judges, He scatters, He gathers, and He directs the rise and fall of every nation so that His redemptive plan moves steadily forward.
Remembering the Flood: The Accurate Record of Genesis and the Echoes in Gilgamesh
When we look closely at the ancient records that have come down to us, we find striking common elements between the Flood account in Genesis and the flood story preserved in the Epic of Gilgamesh. These shared details are not accidental. They point back to a real historical event that both traditions remember, even though one has been preserved with far greater accuracy than the other.
Ancient Persia, Modern Iran, and the Hope of Israel’s Restoration
We love opening the Scriptures and watching the same God who formed the earth in six days and preserved Noah through the global Flood continue to move through the pages of history. Few chapters of that history are more striking than the rise of ancient Persia.
The Mystery of Multicellular Life: Design, Not Necessity
Single-celled life shows His power in the simplest forms. Multicellular life displays His creativity in coordinated systems that work together in harmony. Both point us to the One who designed it all. In a world still marked by the effects of the Fall and the Flood...
The Illusion of Accelerating Expansion
As you look up at the night sky, the redshift you see is not proof of billions of years; it is the lingering echo of the moment the Creator hammered out the firmament, stretched out the heavens by His understanding, and scattered and organized the cosmos in a single week.
