Philip Williams, who was born in Statesville, led the first American expedition to visit the structure near the top of Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey that the natives of this famous mountain have always believed to be Noah's Ark. He continues to advise the Mount Ararat Discovery Foundation in the archaeological investigation of what appears an ancient wooden ship, about the same size and design as given for Noah's Ark in the Bible.
A retired systems engineer, infrastructure specialist, and telecommunications entrepreneur (B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E. from NC State, Professional Engineer in N.C., S.C., and Virginia), Philip pioneered the use of digital switching and fiber-optic technologies in local telephone systems. Since 1990, he has devoted himself to investigating the scientific challenges to the Bible. In 2011, he published the first book to identify the burial mounds found on every continent as caused by Noah's Flood. HIs interest in the discovery on Mount Ararat was due to having traced a second worldwide spread of mankind to this very mountain.
In 2015, the late Dr. Norman Geisler, appeared with Philip on FOX News, with Dr. Geisler endorsing this discovery as Noah's Ark, the first and only such claim this great pioneer of evangelical apologetics ever did endorse. Philip, who lives in Charlotte, is working on his next book, which will show how the clear geological evidence of Noah's Flood, then referred to as the diluvium (deposits of a flood), was re-envisioned as a long Ice Age. Human remains and artifacts found in these deposits were thus imagined to be from primitive hunters living during a long Ice Age. He will demonstrate that these "cavemen" actually lived during the advanced Early Bronze Age, which was brought to an end by Noah's Flood of the exact date (c.2345BC) as given in the Bible. This not only resolves the chief scientific challenge to the Bible, but will also transform the historical sciences.
Philip is confident that his Scripture Science will soon replace both mainstream and Creation Science. Despite his scientific erudition, Philip identifies with simple believers in Jesus, the Old Time religion of his childhood.
