EPISODE 58: Which Rocks are Flood Rocks Part 4: Parting Thoughts

Join Paul and Todd as they wrap up their four-part series on the Flood boundary. Todd recaps previous episodes in the series, and Paul gives his perspective from his own research. As creationists work to better understand the fossil record, Todd and Paul encourage humility and kindness to work through disagreements.

How many rock layers were formed by the Flood? Paul and Todd chat with Dr. Marcus Ross, paleontologist, and president of Cornerstone Educational Supply, about the Flood and the fossil record. Dr. Ross has a Ph.D. in paleontology and has spent a great deal of time studying the rock record. This is part three in a four-part series.

How many rock layers were formed by the Flood? Paul and Todd chat with Dr. Tim Clarey of the Institute for Creation Research about the Flood and the fossil record. Dr. Clarey has a Ph.D. in geology and has spent a great deal of time studying the rock record. This is part two in a four-part series.

If the Flood was a global disaster that made new rock layers, which rock layers were made by the Flood? This is a question that has occupied the minds of Christians for centuries, well before the modern creationist movement. In this episode, Todd and Paul introduce us to the history of Flood geology and the quest to identify the Flood in the fossil record.

The world began in 4004 BC, or that is what Bishop Ussher believed. How do we know? Join Todd and Paul as they begin a series on the genealogies of Genesis and how they calculate the age of the Earth. Also, check out our new website at https://letstalkcreation.org/
