We’re resuming our Creationism 101 series! In this episode, we take a look at the doctrine called creatio ex nihilo. Is it really important that God created everything from nothing? Paul and Todd review all the biblical passages that support creation from nothing and how the early church supported this doctrine. The power of our God is manifested in this, that out of things that are not He makes whatever He pleases!

How did slow animals like sloths get from Noah's Ark in the mountains of Ararat to the jungles of South America? Is that a death blow to creationist thinking? Paul and Todd give some basic answers to this question and more in their latest episode as they wrap up their short series describing the world after the Flood. Listen in on their conversation to find out how the residual catastrophism of earthquakes and volcanoes and glaciation combine with ideas of diversification within created kinds to explain how animals got to their present homes. All that and sloths too!

Just what are created kinds anyway? The created kind forms a central part of creation biology, and kinds can even be used to construct a simple post-Flood chronology. In this new episode in our "After the Flood" series, Todd and Paul talk us through all the ins and outs of created kinds. If you've ever wondered what kinds are and how they relate to the Flood, this episode is for you! All that, and Rama the Cama too!

Ever wonder what happened after the Flood? In this first episode of a three-part series on the world after the Flood, Paul and Todd present a basic outline of the geology and climate as the world recovered from the greatest catastrophe it has ever suffered. The ground was shaky, giant volcanoes blew their top, and it rained a lot! The aftershocks of the Flood continue to devastate our world even today! Check out this episode for all the details, as Todd and Paul begin exploring the world After the Flood.

Forty-five years ago, on May 18, 1980, Mt St Helens erupted and changed creationism forever. The explosion showed us how rapidly geological features could form during a catastrophe and gave us a laboratory to understand the formation of coal. The deadly eruption also reminds us to heed the warnings of coming destruction and judgment. With so many warning signs, no one needed to die at Mt St Helens unless they chose to stay. Join Paul and Todd as they chat with Bill Hoesch, director of the Mt St Helens Creation Center, about this milestone in creation research!

As Paul and Todd continue their series on natural evil, join them as they chat with Nate Labadorf about curses in the Bible. In the Ancient Near Eastern culture of the Bible, curses went hand in hand with blessings. You can't understand the one without the other. As we look to the curse pronounced in Genesis 3, it's important to look even closer to understand how it relates to blessing. Nate takes us through all of these points as we ponder the consequences of the curse in creationism.

In this fascinating episode, Paul and Todd resume their discussion of natural evil with special guest Dr. Rahel Wells. If the world we live in is the same way God made it in the beginning, what does this tell us about God's care for the animals? On the other hand, if God really does care for the animals, how might that care shape our view of creation? Dr. Wells walks us through scripture's teaching about animals and explains what we should do about it. This is a unique conversation you won't want to miss!
