Evolution claims it took millions of years for algae from the sea to eventually overtake and colonize the earth and evolve into the different tree and plant life that exists today. However, this is not what we see in nature and certainly not what the Bible teaches about the original creation and design of plant life. In this episode we look at what the Bible teaches about the origins of plant life, how it is the same as what we see in nature today, and we end with a great story called the “Three Trees: A Modern-Day Parable.”

In this episode we learn about God separating the water from dry land and what the land may have originally looked like. We also see that the Bible spoke of a round earth even when the thought held by many was that the earth was flat and sat on pillars. This episode shows, again, how the Bible can be trusted and gives great insight into the creation of our world.

 No verse in Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 states when angels were created. So we must look to other scripture passages about angels to understand their origin and purpose.

God created the perfect conditions for life to exist. Not just human life but also plant and animal life. Today’s episode explores how God created our atmosphere and the placement of the Earth from the Sun to ensure life could be sustained! Also, we will explore what was this “expanse” that is spoken of in Genesis 1:6.

How exactly did Moses receive the information about the 6 days of creation if he wasn’t there to record them firsthand? In this episode, Lori looks at two of the leading theories as to how Moses received the creation account and recorded it for us to read today.

 The authorship of the book of Genesis is the focus of today’s podcast. We know that God inspired all the authors of the 66 books of the Bible regardless of who actually penned the different books. When it comes to Genesis, we can glean information from other books of scripture, even the words of Jesus himself, to help us nail down authorship. *************************************************************************

The creation account continually says light and day and darkness and light solidifying the literal 24-hour time periods of each day of the creation account. People try to wedge in millions of years into this account, however it does not work well. Further, God calls His creation very good. How can millions of years of animals dying, suffering, and eating each other be good? It isn’t, and in this episode, we will unpack this further.

In Genesis 1:3 God says, “Let there be light.” However, the sun, moon and stars are not created until day 4 of creation. So, what was this special light? In this episode, Lori covers the top theories as to the nature of this light with their corresponding verses from scripture. Join in as Lori pulls out a flashlight and her sons’ globe to illustrate this biblical passage.

Evolutionists purport that chance, and the random processes of “nature,” required millions of years to produce man. Sadly, many Christians have accepted these millions of years and sought to add them to the Bible. In this episode, Lori  unpacks two of the most widely known attempts to fit millions of years into the Bible: The Day/Age Theory and the Gap Theory.

To prove the age of the Earth, scientists try to date the Earth using complicated methods that have been shown to have enormous problems. Instead, we will see the Bible has evidence and genealogies which help us know the age of the Earth. In today’s episode, Lori unpacks the age of the earth and two theories in this debate. The Old Earth Theory and the Young Earth Theory. She will explain in depth how people go to great lengths to mesh the biblical creation account with evolution and millions of years.
