Host Martin Tanner gives an overview of the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. He gives the background and meaning of each of these narratives, and demonstrates the meaning behind each is that wickedness, or in other words disobeying God, always has consequences. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, a "stepped" location on a hillside. All mankind were drowned except Noah and his family. Martin explains why Noah and the Ark was likely a localized event, not a worldwide flood. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were utterly destroyed by God due to their wickedness. The Bible says those cities were located where the southern end of the Dead Sea is now found. They are under the waters of the Dead Sea.

Martin Tanner, the host of Religion Today, shares eight compelling near-death experiences, from people he knows: (1) neuro-surgeon Eben Alexander, MD, from atheist to believer; (2) Stanford, from afraid of death to wanting to go to the other side; (3) Charlotte, who saw her two grandaughters who were waiting to be born; (4) Erica Mckenzie, who died from an eathing disorder, and learned we are all given gifts from God; (5) Ted Whiting, who met on the other side his father, who had been murdered; (6) Liz Clark, who died from a drug over-dose; (7) David Chevalier, who saw the beginning of the Second Coming of Jesus; and (8) Howie Jensen, who went from a drug dealer who committed suicide, to a believer in Jesus.

In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner explains how many items in the Book of Mormon would be counter-intuitive for a fake, or a forger to place there, but nonetheless turn out to be true. In other words, many oddities in the Book of Mormon are now proven true by science, archeology and anthropology.
