Last week I uploaded<\/span> a video featuring clips of my appearance<\/a> on a History Channel program about the Garden of Eden. If you watched it, you’ll probably be disappointed to learn that I’m on another “Decoding the Past” program, too.<\/p>\n

And this one’s even awesomer.<\/p>\n

Sure, the last one had fake Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden (and\/or a park in Los Angeles), but this one has images of apocalyptic destruction. It’s about how several ancient prophecies apparently attach some kind of doomsday significance to the year 2012.<\/p>\n

So obviously, they wanted to know what I thought about it.<\/p>\n

Not really. But they knew I’d written about Revelation for my book, Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse<\/span>, so at the end of my interview for the Eden show, they asked a few questions about biblical prophecy. I tripped through a few brief, not-quite-prepared-for-this answers. Thankfully, I got a good edit.<\/p>\n

(Though you should probably judge that for yourself.)<\/p>\n

By the way, the dark libraryish background behind me? It’s a conference room at a Courtyard Marriott in Los Angeles. Complete with a well-lit but entirely fake ficus tree. I’m telling you, it was the apex of glamour. If by apex of glamour,<\/span> you mean a hotel in Burbank next to a SuperTarget and Outback Steakhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
