  1. 97What Do We Do With Geology's Unconforming Features? | The Creation Podcast: Episode 97Welcome to the fifth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.   A geological phenomenon known as the Great Unconformity exists all across the world. This erosional surface presents a problem to uniformitarian scientists and old-earth creationists alike. Where did it come from? How is it so remarkably smooth? What could cause an erosional surface to such a global extent?   In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the Great Unconformity and unravel the mysteries within the rocks.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Timothy Clarey as they discuss this topic on episode 97 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon ... More...41 min
  2. 98Water vs. Wind: The Controversial Coconino | The Creation Podcast: Episode 98Welcome to the sixth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it often leads to major issues logically, scientifically, and theologically.   The Coconino Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formation famously exposed near the top of Grand Canyon, but it spreads much further, from northern Arizona, northwest Colorado, through Nevada, and Utah. This rock remains locked in geological controversy as two counterclaims vie for its origin. Those who believe in an old earth claim that the feature was primarily wind-deposited, while others claim that the sandstone was formed by water. Which of these is true, and why is the answer so important?    In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at the Coconino Sandstone, examining the claims made from both sides.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Brian Thomas as they discuss this topic on episode 98 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ... More...41 min
  3. 99Earth’s Origins: Science, Theology, and a New Geology Textbook | The Creation Podcast: Episode 99Since the late eighteenth century, most scientists have argued for a uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. They claim the world that exists today was sculpted by natural processes over billions of years. However, this interpretation presents many issues both scientifically and theologically. Contrary to popular belief, the global evidence indicates a recent catastrophic past.   By definition, science is truth attained by knowledge gained from evidence, but most students will only be presented with the uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. Recently, the Institute for Creation Research has had the privilege of publishing a geology textbook: Earth Systems: An Introduction to Earth System Origins, Structures, and Processes. This landmark textbook presents both worldviews, allowing the reader to examine both sides of the conversation.   In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at why such a biblical understanding of earth science is vital and why this textbook is such a valuable resource.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Timothy Clarey as they discuss this topic on episode 99 of The Creation Podcast.

  5. 101Setting Sights on Scopes: The Truth Behind the Infamous Monkey – Part 1 | The Creation Podcast: Episode 101The Scopes Trial is one of the most famous court cases in American history, and this year marks its one hundredth anniversary. Often, this is framed as a battle between science and religion, a perspective that has been perpetuated in the century since. But how much of what we’re told is real, and how much is the product of media distortion and clever storytelling?   Further, the evidence that supposedly supported evolution slated for use in the trial was suspect at best and fraudulent at worst. From beginning to end, the entire ordeal—from plans made before the trial to the media blitz that followed—was orchestrated to push a narrative. And that narrative runs counter to what Scripture plainly teaches.   In this two-part series, we’ll be discussing the Scopes Trial, the events leading up to it, and the aftermath, as well as much of the supposed evidence that was intended to be used to support evolutionary theory.

  7. 103FIVE Reasons You Can Believe the Bible! | The Creation Podcast: Episode 103The Bible is God’s Word. At least, it claims to be. And for centuries, Christians have staked their lives and eternities on its veracity. But there are many today, including scholars who claim Christianity, who cast doubt on the accuracy, reliability, and perfection of the Holy Scriptures.   But, if God’s Word isn’t true—if it’s full of exaggerations, errors, and fables—then why should we trust it? If we can’t believe what it says about the historical, doesn’t that negate what it says about the spiritual?   Despite ever-increasing efforts to undermine the authority and accuracy of God’s Word, the Bible stands firm. On today’s podcast, we’ll be discussing five reasons you can REALLY trust the Bible.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon   More...47 min

  9. 105Can We Build a REAL Jurassic Park?! | The Creation Podcast: Episode 105In 1993, the movie Jurassic Park took the world by storm with its compelling characters, excellent cinematography, industry-altering special effects, and… unfortunately, faulty science. While dinosaurs had been popular, this modern classic of a film rocketed these reptilian beasts to a new level of stardom. And while the film’s sequels have been hit or miss, it’s difficult to overstate the effect the franchise has had on public perception of dinosaurs.   The question remains–is building a Jurassic Park possible? Common sense tells us no. Even more common sense says, “There’s been a whole movie franchise dedicated to telling us that it would be a bad idea to even attempt something like this.”   But what does the science say? How possible is it really?   Join host Trey and paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas as they discuss this fascinating topic on episode 105 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks More...56 min

  17. 113The Complex Shape of DNA You’ve Never Been Taught | The Creation Podcast: Episode 113If you could stretch out the DNA in just one of your cells, it would be six feet long! And yet, it fits inside a space smaller than the tip of a needle and knows exactly what to do to make you… you!   The secret is how it’s folded. Inside each cell, DNA is arranged in a stunning three-dimensional structure that helps control how life functions. This intricate 3-D design determines how genes are expressed, how the body adapts to change, and what makes each person unique.   This level of precision and order doesn’t happen by accident. It points to a Creator whose design reaches deep into every detail of life.

  20. 116Creatures Lived Longer Before the Flood! | The Creation Podcast: Episode 117Imagine a world where humans lived for centuries…Animals grew gradually, matured over decades, and lived far longer than anything we see today. According to the Bible, this wasn’t unusual or supernatural, it was simply the way life worked before the Flood. What’s remarkable is that clues to this long-lost world may still be preserved today, not just in Scripture, but in fossils. Fossilized bones are revealing growth patterns that point to longer lifespans in birds, dinosaurs and other creatures that once inhabited the earth.
