In this episode of What Do You Intend?, Jem and Dustin step into the ancient world to explore how different civilizations understood the origin of reality — and why Genesis stands apart.

Rather than treating creation as a myth competing with other myths, this conversation examines the shared assumptions behind Babylonian, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Chinese, and other ancient cosmologies, many of which begin with chaos, instability, or competing forces.

Genesis tells a different story.

Through thoughtful dialogue, dry humor, and honest skepticism, Jem and Dustin unpack the biblical claim that order comes first, boundaries are established by God’s word, and creation is not something humanity must fear, manage, or appease.

This episode invites listeners to consider whether modern cosmology is truly new — or whether it echoes ancient frameworks dressed in scientific language — and why accountability, intention, and trust in the Creator remain central to the biblical worldview.
