THE WRONG ARK METAPHOR In the latest Cosmos TV episode, ‘The Immortals,’ narrator Neil deGrasse Tyson exploits the metaphorical value of Noah’s Ark as he presents a series of evolutionary themes -- while, not surprisingly, treats the biblical account as just a spin-off of the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh. Though admitting that evolutionists do not know how life could have evolved from lifeless elements through naturalistic processes, Tyson just assumes that it did. Then he weaves tales of how primordial life forms could have found an ‘ark’ of safety through earth’s presumed history of multiple catastrophic surface-destroying collisions over millions of years. Tyson uses the Ark as a recurring theme in this program—but he uses it every way but biblically! Just a reminder again of the importance of our Ark Encounter project. Phase 1, the full-size Ark and exhibits, is set to open in 2016, and will tell the true account of the Ark--that Noah’s Ark was a real place of safety for eight people (1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; Matthew 24:38–39) and representatives of all kinds of air-breathing, land-dwelling animals during the global Flood about 4,350 years ago. In contrast to Tyson’s anti-biblical use of the metaphorical Ark, the true kind of metaphorical Ark the world needs to know about is this one: that just as there was one door in the real Ark of Noah (the only path to safety before the catastrophe that destroyed the earth), Jesus Christ today is the only Savior, the one door to salvation for man. Scripture states, “For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus said: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9) I encourage you to read our latest review of Cosmos at the link below.
