Let's Talk Creation

In this latest installment in our ongoing Creationism 101 series, our hosts Todd and Paul tackle the fall as described in Genesis 3. Our story begins in the idyllic Garden of Eden where God has just created Adam and Eve, but it all comes crashing down when Eve has a conversation with a serpent! Who is this serpent, and how do we know? Join Paul and Todd as they explain all the consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience in this latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!

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. What does this site mean for creationists?

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? You'll have to tune in to find out!Materials for this EpisodeWood, Todd Charles and Brummel, P. S.

Todd and Paul travel to the National Museum of the Czech Republic to see the first exhibition of the Lucy skeleton in Europe! They stood in line with throngs of other people to witness this seminal Australopithecus skeleton firsthand. In this first in a series of three episodes recorded in Czechia, Paul and Todd describe what they saw and what it was like to view the original bones. What surprised them about seeing them in person? What religious overtones did the exhibit take on? Were the bones even real??? Find out in the latest episode of Let's Talk Creation, and be sure to come back in two weeks for part two of Todd and Paul's Czech Adventure!Materials for this Episode

Hominins and feathered dinosaurs get all the publicity, but what even is a non-mammalian synapsid? They are some of the weirdest and coolest fossils in the fossil record, and they get almost no attention! Join Todd and Paul as they chat with paleontologist Matt McLain about these weird fossils. Do they really prove mammal evolution, or is there much more to the story? Find out on this episode of Let's Talk Creation!
