What does the Bible actually teach about creation? Is Genesis literal? What are the main Christian views on old earth vs young earth? And where do dinosaurs, fossils, and the flood fit into all of this?
In this episode, I sit down with Eric Hovind from Creation Today to talk through the major creation views, where old earth theories came from, why Genesis matters theologically, and how this connects to death, sin, and the gospel itself.
We also get into:
creation vs evolution
gap theory, day-age theory, and framework hypothesis
dinosaurs and dragons
fossil records and the flood
why soft tissue in dinosaur bones matters
why this debate is about more than science
Whether you’re brand new to this conversation or have wrestled with it for years, this episode will give you a lot to think through.
