Alcohol Science & the Bible Pt I

07/06/24 • -1 min

*99 Nebudchudnezzar's on the Wall: Discover the wine bottle named after the Babylonian king made famous by God in the Bible! Chronic Drinking (in Moderation): We'll tap Adrew Huberman's August 2022 video titled “What Alcohol Does to Your Body, Brain & Health” for the latest scientific data on moderate, and chronic boozing. He’s a Professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology (and a possible theist of sorts) at Stanford School of Medicine and has a popular science podcast on YouTube. He refers to a study published in Nature. *Suggested Mixers: You'll hear other scientific opinions, like these from Harvard, and the NIH (for whatever those are worth anymore) that are somewhat less dire than the study Huberman cites. *One for the Road: Listen in to learn facts you may not have known regarding how alcohol consumption affects the balance of hormones, the gut and other mood & health regulating mechanisms in your body.

God, Biology & Engineering with Emily Reeves Ph.D.

*Emily Reeves Ph.D.: is this week's guest! Dr. Reeves received her B.S. in chemistry with a minor in biology from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ in 2012, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry and biophysics from Texas A&M University, in 2018. She currently collaborates on several research projects at the intersection of biology and engineering.

*Big Fat Brains: If body fat is ever discovered to be an organ in and of itself it will be the fattiest... but for now the fattiest human organ remains the brain!

*Going Beyond Materialism: Hear the story of Dr. Reeves' journey through the materially oriented environment of postgraduate education to inspiration by research revealing the spectacular designs of our Creator! *Another Blessing From Abraham: Consider checking out a book that was one of Emily's inspirations: An Introduction to Systems Biology by (descendant of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob ) Uri Alon. Discover design principles that govern the structure and behavior of biological networks such as gene circuits, and a quantitative theory, and a mathematical framework for understanding biological circuits. *The Real "Emily's List": Read Dr. Reeves' impressive list of published papers (just so far)!

Alcohol Science & the Bible Pt II

*What Saith the Scriptures: This week Fred and Doug examine the scriptural history and treatment of alcohol in the Bible (with some research help from Solomon Ademiluka and Bob Enyart). *Biblical Questions: Your hosts answer questions with scripture; questions like, "was the wine in bible times alcoholic?" "did Jesus drink alcohol?" And "should christians abstain from alcohol?" Should the church teach abstinence from alcohol?" Also, "how could Jesus offer people alcohol without tempting them to sin?" *Last Call: Hear RSR's position on drinking, (and preaching about it) based upon the scriptural evidence.
