Ken Coulson from @CreationUnfolding joins Paul and Todd to talk about his new book Creation is Fallen: The Curse, Animal Suffering, and the Problem of Natural Evil (https://amzn.to/4dpiOUe). As theologians continue to try to reconcile evolution and the Christian faith, more scholars advocate doing away with the traditional doctrine of the fall. In this episode, Ken explains in detail why that just won't work. Through careful study of the Bible and basic moral and philosophical reasoning, Ken's book helps us to understand the origin of the suffering in our world.Episodes Mentioned in this episodeKen's new book Creation is Fallen:https://amzn.to/4dpiOUeKen's channel:https://www.youtube.com/@CreationUnfoldingJon Garvey's God's Good Earth: The Case for an Unfallen Creationhttps://amzn.to/4tFR1VJ📫Send questions to [email protected] our work🔬📖Donate to Support the Mentoring of the Next Generation of Creation Scholars https://coresci.org/index.php/sanders-scholars/🔬Join Todd’s Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/researchreports🎁Give to the Core Academy general fund https://coresci.org/donate🎁Support the podcast by going to https://letstalkcreation.org🏫Support Paul’s work at Biblical Creation Trust and the Cambridge House Project at https://www.biblicalcreationtrust.org/⛺Come to the Core Academy Spring RetreatGet Tickets here: https://coresci.org/smokiesOr email [email protected] to get information on the next retreat 🎁Please consider supporting this work by going to https://coresci.org/connect or https://biblicalcreationtrust.orgSocial Media LinksLet’s Talk Creation Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LetsTalkCreationLet’s Talk Creation Instagram https://www.instagram.com/letstalkcreation/Core Academy of Science Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coresci.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreacademyofscience/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoreacadInfo Website: https://coresci.org/Biblical Creation Trust Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biblicalcreationtrustTwitter: https://twitter.com/bct_origins Website: https://www.biblicalcreationtrust.org/*Disclaimer: Things mentioned in the Show Notes are not endorsements of people, places, or things discussed in the podcast, but rather a record of what was spoken about and helpful links to material for our listeners.

Our Creationism 101 series continues with the tale of Cain, Abel, and Cain's family. Todd and Paul chat about the nature of an acceptable sacrifice, the personification of sin, and the way Cain's descendants are described. They also give a brief overview of the genealogy in Genesis 5. And yes, because everyone still wants to know, they talk again about the mysterious origins of Cain's wife, which really aren't that mysterious after all.

It's been more than a year since we answered some of yourquestions, so let's get back to it! We've collected questions from YouTube comments, emails, and other social media, and Todd and Paul try to answer as many as they can in one episode (which turns out to be not very many). They cover limestone formation, endogenous retroviruses, the timing of the ice age, snake venom composition, animal migration after the Flood, and cryptozoology. All that and Paul's new office in the latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!

Does oil take millions of years to form? If it did, that would be proof positive that the earth could not be thousands of years old. Join Todd and Paul as the chat with geologist Richard Bruce all about the formation of oil. Not only can oil form rapidly, hot water makes it happen! Oil is uniquely explainable by a global flood. Learn all about it in this latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!

As we celebrate FIVE whopping years of thoughtful creationist discussions, Paul and Todd pause to answer a common question. Why are you doing this? Our hosts spend a lot of time researching and planning the show and recording episodes. Todd and Paul describe the passion for God and his creation that drives them both to explore and study God's works and to share their learning with the world. As always, we hope that these podcasts will encourageyou to learn, grow, and worship!

And here you thought our "After the Flood" series wasover! Surprise, we got a new episode! We had several thoughtful responses to our "After the Flood" series from last year, and we decided to record a response episode. Is there too much happening in too little time? Can we be sure? How could species change so much? Could animals really raft across the ocean? All that and the Columbia River Basalts! And Rama the Cama too!
