Warren Johns: Background and Movement Origins

We often hear the claim that creationism is a recent theological error, but there have been young age creationists for most of the history of the church. In this episode, Todd and Paul chat with Warren Johns about the Scriptural Geologists, a group of creationists active during the earliest growth of the science of geology. Back before geologists were geologists, there were still creationists holding the faith! Learn all about them in this week's episode of Let's Talk Creation!
