only son, whom you love and offer him as sacrifice at the place i will show you. god was telling abraham to kill his own son. [ singing in foreign language ] you would think that that story is so barbaric that it would have died out over time. instead, jews read it and their holiest week of the year, christians read it, the same story in their holiest week of the year, easter, muslims read the same story in their holiest week of the year. to this day, the story is commemorated by muslims all over the world on a holiday. the family are american-muslims living in new jersey.
does that frighten you? yeah. but i m also, the promise of god that it is in his hands. i feel like the moral of the story, for me helping others will help make the world a better place, and a better place for myself will be a better place for everyone, and for my children and my children s children. and that s the kind of world that i want to live in. and that s the kind of world that noah tells us about. narrator: coming up, just minutes from now, if you re the scientist who discovered the titanic, what do you do for an enco encore? how about proving noah s flood really happened and where. see the amazing story when back to the beginning with christiane amanpour returns. tracfone, i can. order safety goggles. play music for seedlings. post science fair projects. schedule guinea pig feedings. video chemical reactions. take pics of mr. bones.
close calls took their toll. donna risked life and limb scaling these heights, driven on by her renewed catholic faith. we were all raised in the church, and you know, i fell away for a while. and i did some things that today i would never do. but i ve returned to the church. and i m living my life more like i used to. and she s recording this experience to spread the message of the story that so deeply affected her. the entire human civilization was wiped out except for the eight people on the ark, and we all came down from them. i believe the bible, and i believe it happened, i believe it landed on the mountain and that it s still there. the last has she also made videos to send to her children at home. i miss you guys and i love you.
