I Prophesy: The Future Revealed – April Episodes

“Apocalypse 2060”
Tuesday, April 14, 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
Sir Isaac Newton is known to most people today as one of the fathers of modern science – a bold and original thinker who scientific and mathematical discoveries have helped to shape the course of human history. What fewer people know is that he devoted much of his time to studying Biblical prophecies – in particular, the apocalyptic books of Revelation and Daniel. Newton’s writings on the subject reveal him as a deeply religious man who became obsessed with the end of the world – a cataclysm that he concluded would arrive in the year 2060. Could Newton’s prediction prove correct? Produced by Arcadia Entertainment Inc

“Chasing Chimera”
Friday, April 17, 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
Tuesday, April 21, 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
It sounds like a scene from The Island of Dr. Moreau: scientists inject animals with human DNA to create new genetically engineered forms of life: chimera. To some, chimerical experimentation is a revolutionary endeavour with the potential to cure many common diseases and put an end to organ donor shortages. But others wonder how far are we prepared to go in pursuit of these goals. At what point do we begin to blur the line between animals and humans – and what rights will these new creatures have? Produced by Henry Less Productions.

“Superflood”
Friday, April 24, 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
Tuesday, April 28, 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
The account of the Great Flood in Genesis is one of the most iconic of Biblical stories. Today, some scientists are warning about the prospect of a 21st century deluge that could reach Old Testament proportions. Evidence suggests that climate change is causing massive ice melt in the Polar Regions, which in turn may cause ocean levels to rise. Flooding would hit hardest in Bangladesh, India and eastern China, where tens of millions inhabit areas barely above sea level. Global warming could also lead to dramatic increases in storm surges and hurricanes all over the world. Is there time to head off such a catastrophe – or should we be preparing for the worst?
