Topics include exploring the intriguing similarities between Cain's and Seth's genealogies, the debate over the identity of the "sons of God" and "daughters of men," and the rather surprising literary structure of the story of Noah's Ark and the global flood.

Episode 139: Could Viruses be Good?
We apologize for the lateness of this episode. In this episode of "Let’s Talk Creation," hosts Todd Wood and Paul Garner are joined by returning guest Joe Francis for a deep look at the crazy world of viruses. Framed in the context of God's good design, Dr. Francis and our hosts explore the purposes and functions of viruses beyond just agents of disease. Because God made the world "very good," every oneof his creations must have had a part in that goodness. Based on surprising new research, you're sure to gain a new appreciation for viruses and the complexity of God's creation. Plus: Upcoming events will be discussed. You won't want to miss these events.Materials Mentioned in this episode Episode 85: Natural Evil: Viruses & Creationismhttps://youtu.be/F_xQ7onWuTs 📫Send questions to podcast@coresci.org Support our work🔬📖Donate to Support the Mentoring of the Next Generation of Creation Scholars https://coresci.org/index.php/sanders... 🔬Join Todd’s Patreon at / 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 info@coresci.org to get information on the next retreat 🎁Please consider supporting this work by going to https://coresci.org/connect or https://biblicalcreationtrust.org Social Media Links Let’s Talk Creation Facebook / letstalkcreation Let’s Talk Creation Instagram / letstalkcreation Core Academy of Science Facebook: / coresci.org Instagram: / coreacademyofscience Twitter: / coreacadinfo Website: https://coresci.org/ Biblical Creation Trust Facebook: / biblicalcreationtrust Twitter: / 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.

Episode 137: Creation is Fallen! with Ken Coulson
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 podcast@coresci.orgSupport 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 info@coresci.org 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.

Episode 131: Where did all this oil come from?
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.

Todd and Paul wrap up their big Czech Adventure with a visit to the Stone Age! Long ago, the southern Czech villages of Pavlov and Dolní Věstonice were home to mammoth hunters, and they left abundant evidence of their dwellings, prey, and even culture. Over the past century, Czech archaeologists have been excavating those sites, and Paul and Todd are going to get the whole scoop as they wander the countryside where these ancient hunters lived.

Episode 126: Todd and Paul Talk Selam!! Another hominin like Lucy?
Lucy may be the most famous Australopithecus fossil, but Selam is much better preserved. Researchers discovered this fossil in 2000 just across the river from where Lucy was found, and the recent exhibit at the Czech National Museum in Prague included this fossil as well as Lucy. In this episode, Paul and Todd review all the details from this skeleton, including a part that is completely unique in Australopithecus discoveries. What's the creationist angle on all this?
