In Episode 47 of The Genesis Science Report, David Rives opens with powerful new archaeological discoveries from the ancient site of Megiddo—known biblically as Armageddon. From artifacts confirming the death of King Josiah to a newly uncovered Christian mosaic floor referencing “God Jesus Christ,” these finds provide extraordinary confirmation of Scripture’s accuracy and enduring legacy. David connects these discoveries to Revelation’s prophecy of Armageddon, reminding us that archaeology continues to affirm the truth of God’s Word.
Next, science historian Dr. Jerry Bergman joins the program to discuss groundbreaking research on Neanderthal toolmaking. Once dismissed as primitive cave-dwellers, Neanderthals are now recognized as intelligent, skilled artisans—fully human and capable of symbolic thought. Dr. Bergman explains how their craftsmanship, jewelry, and burial practices dismantle the “ape-man” narrative and affirm that all humans descend from Adam and Eve.
Then, nuclear scientist Dr. Artem Oganov evaluates a startling claim from a U.S. startup: that it can turn mercury into gold using nuclear fusion. Oganov breaks down what nuclear reactions really are, explains why this process is scientifically implausible, and warns against confusing speculation with true science. The discussion underscores how even our most advanced technologies pale in comparison to the wisdom and design evident in creation.
Finally, Canyon Ministries’ Nate Loper reveals an astonishing fossil discovery in the Grand Canyon’s Bright Angel Formation—soft-bodied Cambrian creatures preserved with exquisite detail. Loper explains why such preservation defies deep-time explanations and instead fits perfectly within the framework of rapid, catastrophic burial during the global Flood.

This episode connects archaeology, anthropology, physics, and paleontology—all pointing to one truth: God’s Word is trustworthy from the very first verse.
