Let's Talk Creation

The discussion dives deep into whether the ages listed in Genesis are literal or symbolic. The hosts analyze fascinating numerical patterns, especially the significance of the number 60, and how these interpretations shape our view of biblical history. They explore connections between the Sumerian King List and biblical texts, suggesting deeper sacred meanings. The conversation also touches on the complexities of Methuselah's age and the intriguing possibility of coincidental numerical patterns influencing perceptions of divine design. Prepare for thought-provoking insights!

Hans Madueme is back for round two as Paul and Todd continue their conversation over his book Defending Sin. In this episode, they get down to really deep issues as they wrestle with the actual relationship of science and faith. How do believers go about reconciling what they see in science and in Scripture? Is there a right way? What do our anxieties have to do with this? Struggling through these issues lead the guys to chat about being creationists in a pluralistic church, where different people believe different things. If our most important goal is following Jesus, what does that look like when our personal beliefs are so very different from someone else's?

Paul and Todd visit Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA (in person!) to chat with Hans Madueme about his new book "Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences." After talking about the book itself, they get into the deeper issues. What is biblical realism? How should we talk about the "conflicts" between science and faith? What about dogma and scientific fabilism? Haven't theologians gotten things wrong too? Find out all this and more as Todd and Paul talk to Hans Madueme on this latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!

In the latest installment of the biblical chronology series, Paul and Todd look for ancient witnesses to the content of Genesis 5 and 11. From the Jewish historian Josephus and the peculiar book of Jubilees, we can get glimpses of ancient Genesis manuscripts long since lost. Can these books clear up the Genesis chronology? Or will we be more confused than ever? Find out in the latest episode of "Let's Talk Creation!"

You asked, and we answered! Join Paul and Todd at the new Core Academy offices for rapid-fire replies to your questions. What's the problem with human species? What about other Flood boundaries? What in the world is the Younger-Dryas??? They're trying to answer as many questions as they can in a single episode (that's what makes it JUMBO). Enjoy these thoughtful and quick responses to your questions on Let's Talk Creation! (Maybe we can get Todd to elaborate on entropy in a future episode if you're interested??)

In this latest installment to their Creationism 101 series, Paul and Todd cover creationist beliefs about the days of creation. From the formation of the universe on day one to the culmination of God's rest on the seventh, we describe what is known and unknown. What is the firmament? How are there days without a sun? What kind of event could make a continent? Find out in this latest episode!

Centuries ago, Augustine of Hippo said it was "disgraceful and dangerous" for a nonbeliever to hear Christians spouting nonsense about science. Today, as young age creationists work to promote their views, many Christians think we're nothing but an embarrassment to the cause of Christ and a stumbling block to the gospel. In this episode, Paul and Todd chat with Stephen Lloyd of Biblical Creation Trust as they push back on this negative stereotype. Stephen thinks young-age creationist beliefs can actually be an advantage in witnessing. Listen to this latest episode to find out how!

Dr. Monte Fleming continues the journey we started in our last episode exploring our rapidly eroding continents. Last time, we talked at length about the oceans eroding the shoreline, and this time, it's storms and rivers chipping away at the continents' interiors. How long do we have until there are no continents left? Can the earth really be billions of years old? Or is it a young world after all? Find out as Todd and Paul talk to Monte Fleming on this episode of Let's Talk Creation!

"Solid" ground under our feet is gradually slipping away as the oceans of the world relentlessly erode the coastlines. It might surprise you to discover just how fast that's happening! In this episode, special guest Monte Fleming explains the evidence of coastal erosion that indicates the continents couldn't be much more than a few million years old, just a tiny fraction of the billions of years they're supposed to be according to conventional radiometric dating. Join Todd and Paul for this fascinating chat as they explore the true age of the continents! Show notes: https://letstalkcreation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/LTC_Episode87_ShowNotes.pdf

Are young age creationists just hung up on Genesis 1 or is there more to this story? Paul and Todd tackle this vital question by looking through the rest of the Bible to figure out if young age creationism is just an error inflated from one passage or if recent creation is the counsel of the entire scripture. In a hypothetical Bible missing Genesis 1, would Paul and Todd still be young age creationists?
