Abraham's Marriage (and the Earth's age), an Idaho Worker, and a Bogus? Quote

Three messages in the weekend's BEL Mailbag. Later in the show, Bob shares the results of a book search by Valerie in Texas, one of our associate producers, who helped to falsify the last bit of alleged evidence for a quote about Noah's Ark from a long-time Nat'l Geographic editor (and son-in-law of Alexander Graham Bell). Then, with great excitement, Bob shares the latest bullet added to rsr.org/evidence for the short-lived history of mankind, an observation based on Abraham marrying his sister Sarah without violating any taboo and without fear of inbred harm to any children. The show begins though with, "My name is Mark Carroll. I'm a long time listener from Idaho. The company I work for recently adopted a new covid policy which discriminates against those who haven't had the covid vaccine. I filed for a religious accommodation based on the fact that the vaccines are made with or developed with aborted babies' cloned cells. I believe like you do Bob that we're all created in God's image and that no man has the right to murder a baby and cannibalize it for their own utilitarian purposes. I want nothing to do with the slaughter of the innocent. My HR representative denied my request and then threatened me with a company-wide vaccine mandate. I am asking for your assistance in bringing this to the public's attention.  We have 110 people working here and many of them feel the same way I do. Please contact me. I can provide more information and would greatly appreciate any help offered." REPLY: "Mark, so sorry you are going through this. My own mom, Connie, just was effectively uninvited from visiting her family in New Jersey this weekend. Oh well! So, can I interview you about your situation on Tuesday? Thanks so much for writing! In Christ, Bob Enyart" REPLY: "I would love to be on your show but cannot due to fear of retaliation from the company. I just don't know what to do or where to go. I've been working there for 18 years. I've been praying a lot asking God for guidance. I thank you for your response. Again, I'm a long-time listener." Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.)
