Paul and Todd welcome Stephen Lloyd back to the show to talk about the Cambridge House project. This past year, Biblical Creation Trust launched a student ministry in downtown Cambridge with the goal of building a residential study center to help train a new generation of thoughtful creation researchers. In this episode, Paul and Stephen discuss the vision of Cambridge House, their current status, and what it will take to make it a reality.

If creation was originally free of disease and suffering, why do we have such an immune system? Our defense against dangerous germs is intricate, elaborate, and effective, and clearly it was part of God's design for our bodies. So what was the point? Paul and Todd are joined by creation immunologist Joe Francis to discuss the wonders of the immune system, how much of a blessing it really is, and what more it does for us than just police our bodies for germs. This episode is part of our intermittent series on natural evil. Send questions topodcast@coresci.orgSupport the podcast by going tohttps://letstalkcreation.orgJoin Todd’s Patreon athttps://www.patreon.com/researchreports
