Steven Collins: Discovering the City of Sodom 

I interviewed a guy called peter about 4 years ago who volunteered on this dig for a few weeks. He told me that the city was destroyed by an airburst meteorite which he described as an atomic bomb without the radiation. He said the smell of the ash layer was unforgettable. There was rocket fire going on all the time while they were digging just a few miles away at Jordans border. . And the most treasured thing they uncovered was a baby who had died who had been buried in a type of pot/jar. It must've been quite a heart affecting discovery, he spoke of it with much feeling. It's one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had, I was hanging off every word. I'll never forget it. If this interview doesn't leave you awestruck over God, I dont know what will.

I realize that while watching this, I’m seeing History’s path and God’s hand simultaneously. Thank you, Eric.

Dr. Collins is indeed knows how to tell a story - he makes me want to read the book!

So amazing! Just studied this biblical story with my Bible study group! Thank you so much for sharing your unbelievable discovery. Such an interesting program!!

This was so refreshing, truly well done. Thank you so much, I will be sharing.

I decided to listen to this Socrates on a whim. Great guest Eric & very interesting subject. Love to see the power of God displayed in nature. Thanks for walking us through this so thoroughly. It must be a thrill holding something like that "Trinitite" in your hand & even being there where this happened! God reveals Himself in the most amazing places.

The Bible not only is history and on the map, it is the map!

Been following Collins for years. The evidence just keeps getting stronger.

I have read Dr. Collin’s work and he is going against the academic grain but I believe him based on his evidence.

I had no idea, thank you for sharing this. How wonderful a discovery!

Absolutely mindblowing ! I have been following their channel (I think Appian Media) for a while.

That was astounding! Thank you!

Excellent interview! Thank you Eric! :)

I feel like the main takeaway of this story is the authority of scripture. Particularly Genesis. The original locations were wrong and the commentary he spoke of because they started with an authority outside of the text. I encourage to go and read the first chapters of Genesis then go to Answers in Genesis and/or listen to some talks from Ken Hamm about the authority of scripture and having a Biblical world view when looking at these things. Thanks for posting this!

I have to get this book, I'm not that smart,but anything to do with God am in, I love this. It's awesome, and how cool,there's evidence to prove the Bible text is fact it's great ammo for me in witness, thank you so much, shout out to stephen Gardner interview I'd never would of found it, and love the laughter and personality's! SO refreshing! Thank you, and God Bless you with continued success,I hope God has a plan for me, 57 still wondering, hope you know how blessed you are. May the peace of God be with you

Amazing!❤

Awesome!

Shared. Fantasy-type stuff. Awesome show.

Great story and storyteller!

Fascinating

Awesome

Ron Wyatt deserves the credit for this discovery.

Absolutely love Dr. Collins hopefully Eric next time he could pick a better interviewer 😂 …. You Know I love what you !! Hope someday to bring my wife to one of dinners Great Stuff as always

Thankyoy

this is really interesting, wish the interviewer would quit interrupting him though.

I want the book with updated info thru 2024

Absolutely stellar with the flesh suits and costumery. And the acting ability isn’t bad either. Almost fooled me, lol not really. Good job Aaj!

Wow 🎉🎉

1:09:17 Mark Boslough is the physicist from Sandia National Laboratories who tried to discredit this research.

😂 you had me interested for the first hour and four minutes and then you started talking about about..... oh my goodness, meteors. (What about the mention of the fire and brimstone mentioned in the Bible and the pure sulfur balls they found in the ashes of the walls? No mention of that.)

God is real. The Bible is real. There is no debate.

Was there any evidence of sulfur at this site?

I knew from a Jordanian friend that he witnessed a Russian archeology team that used a "small submarine" to survey the relatively shallow depths of the dead sea..... it would be interesting to go through their findings

I'm smarter now, not Jeopardy smart but I love this show.

Ron Wyatt discoveted Sodom and Gomorrah.

I love this discussion, however I will mention, Eric did a horrible interview job here. He kept interrupting the guy. Which I don’t get. He never has done it before in any interview. But still, a fascinating discussion.

What??? SitC came to FW?!! dang it! how did i miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

Eric Metaxas is a National Treasure

In the words of Spock, "fascinating". From the discussion, the geological and archaeological evidence confirm something like a meteoric impact event that occurred at the city of ancient Sodom that leveled the entire geographic area. Cannot confirm for sure whether the forces unleashed where natural or supernatural in origin but likely a combination of both. At least, that's my take on this incredible archaeological discovery.

As a Muslim it’s amazing to hear the story of this discovery and how it aligns with both of our teachings (the Quran speaks about Sodom and how God sent angels to destroy the nation due to the transgressions and the refusal to listen to Prophet Lot. The Quran says god sent down stones that were baked and every single one had the name of every resident engraved and the nation was lifted and turned upside down and slammed back to the earth. It also says we have left there remains as a warning to future generations.) this find is truly historic. Link for anyone who wants to listen to that story from Islams perspective a lot similarities and some differences Part one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--CsgSkOpuQM.htmlsi=peXE8V3Aa-jW9L6M Part two about the destruction ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VOowCQ9x1-k.htmlsi=YN957xly9TzKup2b

Thank you. Fascinating. I have been thinking about Sodom a lot lately due to the dire straits that the world is in as regards sin and the darkness that has cloaked mankind. I would love to ask Dr Collins what he thinks of the destruction of biblical sites occurring in the Holy Land and in particular in Gaza but also in Jerusalem. Add to that the Arab countries where many holy sites are found& that America's bombed ruthlessly over the decades. Following October 7th, but way before things turned absolutely genocidal, I kept saying something that no one else said which is that it was beyond evil to render the destruction of the land; the land that is Holy; the land is that sacred. HOW dare we bomb it to smithereens. Tear it up and destroy it because it, as human beings, was made by God & is sacred, especially this earth in the Holy Land. What does he think? Dr Collins brought together the holy book with the evidence the land rendered to him & I'm wondering if people feel that God sent that asteroid to destroy Sodom or whether nature has its own intelligence & sought out Somon and destroyed it because of its wicked ways? In either case, I surely hope an astroid seeks out the location of the government of the zionist state and destroys it so we can return to a Holy Land of three faiths where people live in peace and harmony. Thecdecadence of that era pales in comparison to what is occurring now in the genocidal zionist state enabled by AI. I want to thank Dr Collins for remembering to ask mother earth for her secrets and then later thanking her. True class & true faith & true wisdom come together in one humble man. Thank you

Very interesting. I'm just wondering though, if Sodom was destroyed by a huge burst like that, how did Lot get far enough away fast enough to not be flattened? He and his daughters were just on foot and it sounds like the destruction came right away after they'd left the city. And why didn't Abraham hear a huge explosion or see a burst of blinding light? In the Bible it just says he got up and saw smoke rising from the area so he knew that it had been destroyed.

i've seen the guys who have found the sulfer balls there, at the same sites i presume..i always love socrates

"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." -Ezekiel 16:49

Well-heeled crowd.

Please let him tell the story without so many interruptions

it never ceases to amaze me how people are oblivious to the concept of literary inspiration and skip straight to anything but euhemerism.

I am not completely sure why they have these talks ,unless it is for those sitting on the fence.

God invented fusion also.

Are you suggesting that the city had several rebuilding after that major destruction event? If so, you are not looking at Sodom

While I do love this book. The intro with his wife really was irritating. The guests at the table where she was didn’t laugh.

Collin’s is 100 percent wrong. This site is not sodom. It’s well established that its to the south and the other cities of the plain have been located also

He said he takes the Bible seriously but believes in billions of years? Hmm

Can I get earrings made of this stuff? Hee hee hhe😂

If it was nuclear, there should be increased radioactivity over the background Silica becomes glass above 3200 F , not 30,000 F. Surface of the sun is just over 10,000F. Magna from a volcano can be as hot as 2,372 F.

Oh my word...interesting, but dragged on forever. Wish he could have told the story quicker!

The funniest Lutheran I know!

Am a little worried about that lump on Eric's neck.

Lol. I love and respect you, Eric, but the moon is a light, not a dusty rock (Genesis 1:16) and the earth is not a spinning space ball.

Was the sin of Sodom homosexuality or lack of hospitality?

He says the other sites are too early, but if the dating is correct, his site is centuries too late🤔 Other than that, the evidence seems good. 🤷‍♂️

Eric, stop talking over your guest. If they are there to reveal information. let them do it without interruption.

Why didn’t you say that the destruction of sodom was God’s judgement on homosexuality?

CHROMEDOME is a good guy.

Xrcon encrusted tweezers.

Folks since when the heck are birds reptiles ???, these Darwinian evolutionists have been redefining words to cater to their naturalist world view. "Reptile" is an ambiguous category: It usually refers to lizards, snakes, turtles, alligators and crocodiles, but to be genetically consistent should also include birds, since crocodilians are more closely related to birds than to lizards, snakes or turtles." 🦕🦖🌍☄️💥 .......... ⏰️ bok bok bok 🐓.

2,680 °F to produce trinitite (not 20,000-30,000 °F ) The melting point of zirconium is 3371 °F, and the boiling point is 7968 °F. Temperature surface of the Sun is about 10,000 degrees °F ( not 15,000-30,000°C or 27,000°F - 54,000°F)

I wish the interviewer would shut up and LISTEN!!!

I could be wrong, however, it seems to me both of these men are Evolutionary Theists, which does not comport with God's written word.

Eric talk too much

Dear OH Dear ths is not Sodom

Trinitite - the name of the substance left after the punishment of God. Quite an interesting coincidence! God’s hand at work?

Really disapponting. I respect eric so much. But he says "if you believe you can debate flat earth, dont come to me, i dont have patience for that stuff". The next sentence, "But if you really look into sodum, like really look into it, its undebatable". Well brother. Im aorry you feelings wont let you agree with biblical geography. But as you said "if you REALLY look into it, (and dont dismiss it out of emotion) its undeniable".

Just because they discovered a city that was said to exist in the Bible doesn't mean that God or any other supernatural Things exist , that would be stupid to think
