Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

Is there anything wrong with Christians drinking wine or alcoholic beverages? Why does God consider drunkenness a sin? What did Ham do to his father to warrant his son Canaan being cursed? Why is it called the Curse of Canaan and not the Curse of Ham? What is Noah's legacy?

Why was Noah's righteousness so important to the story of the Flood? Was the Flood local or global in nature? Did the animals need to eat on the Ark? Did carnivores exist before the Flood? Is the Flood allegorical or actual history? Why does Christian really not like Ken Ham and Kent Hovind while kinda being close to their side of the debate for the historicity of early Genesis? Why were the animals separated by clean and unclean designations? How long did the Flood last? Why would God need to remember Noah in order to deliver him from the effects of the Flood? Can the Ark be found in Mt. Ararat? Why was Noah's response to offer sacrifices so pleasing to God?

Who are the sons of God and the daughters of men? Why was God upset at humanity's actions? Who and what are the Nephilim? Did humanity need to be wiped out? Why was Noah so special to be considered by God as His chosen instrument to save humanity? How big was the ark? What was the covenant God made with Noah about?

How is it possible or is it possible that the patriarchs lived for hundreds of years? What was Adam able to leave to his descendants? Is there a gap between the patriarchs mentioned, is the account meant to be figurative, or is the Earth only 6000 years old? Is there a hidden message in the names given by the patriarchs to the sons? If so, does it point to Jesus? What happened to Enoch? What can we learn from the apocrypha written supposedly from his perspective?

What power do names have in our own lives and in the names of the first humans? Who were Cain and Abel? Why did God accept Abel's offering and not Cain's? Was one person better than the other? Why would God defend Cain from justice? Where did Cain's wife come from? When did culture and worship enter the world? How did God keep His promise to Eve about her being the one who would ultimately be responsible for the crushing of the Serpent?

Are Adam and Eve more to blame for the Fall or are both equally as guilty? Why would sin remove mankind from the Garden? How was God merciful even in the midst of punishing Adam and Eve?
