Total Solar Eclipses: God’s Gift to Humanity

Join astrophysicist Hugh Ross and astronomer David Block as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Astrophysicist Hugh Ross interviews astronomer David Block, director of Reasons to Believe Africa, about eclipses and the upcoming total solar eclipse in Egypt. Hugh and David discuss why we are living at the one time in Earth’s history where we can learn the most about the physics of the universe by observing total solar eclipses. This is possible because total solar eclipses can last from just 1 second to as long as 7 minutes, 28 seconds. These remarkable conditions underscore a broader biblical theme: God's timing for creating Adam and Eve was the best possible for humanity.
