Show notes from Jeff:  I briefly mentioned these items in passing.

• Issue of earth being near the center (but NOT the center) of the universe - see the book: Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe  by Dr. Russell Humphreys Ph.D.
• Josh McDowell started out as an atheist but became a Christian after taking a critical look at the evidence.  See his website here:  http://www.josh.org/  and a compendium of his work here at Amazon: 
• Dead Sea Scrolls: In 1948, famed archaeologist and leading Biblical scholar William Albright made the extraordinary claim that the Dead Sea Scrolls were “the greatest archaeological find of the 20th century.”
• Many of the New Testament writers were writing from a first hand account with respect to being with Jesus including, Matthew, John, Peter, Jude, James, and Paul.  In fact, James and Jude were the earthly brothers of Jesus; they grew up in the same home as he did.  We also have the writings of the disciples of the apostles; for example, Polycarp was a disciple of John.  Mark was a disciple of Peter, and Luke was a disciple and traveling companion of Paul.  (see: The Forbidden Book)
• "I claim to be an historian. My approach to Classics is historical. And I tell you that the evidence for the life, the death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history ..."  - E. M. Blaiklock - Professor of Classics, Auckland University
• Gospel of Mark Fragments Reportedly Found; Possibly Oldest NT Artifacts  Dallas Theological Seminary professor Daniel B. Wallace has said that newly discovered fragments from the Gospel of Mark could be the oldest New Testament artifacts ever found and date from the first century A.D., or during the time of eyewitnesses of Jesus' resurrection.
• Names in Genesis chapter 5 encoded with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Coral-ized chariot parts in the Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba) - Evidence of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt through the Red Sea.
