Living things, whether animal or plant, exhibit a variety of traits that can change from generation to generation. These trait variations can help them adapt to thrive in certain situations. Some of these adaptations happen quite quickly as creatures pioneer new niches, developing traits that allow them to fit their environmental conditions.

Scripture describes humans living for a very long time, nearly a millennium before the Flood. Many scoff at this, stating that this is reason to disregard the Bible. Even some evangelicals claim these ages just can’t be taken literally. But, is that really true? Are such long lifespans scientifically possible? And is there historical or scientific evidence to corroborate the Bible’s claims that ancient humans experienced extreme longevity?   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Jake Hebert as they discuss this topic on episode 80 of The Creation Podcast.           More...

Scripture describes humans living for a very long time, nearly a millennium before the Flood. Many scoff at this, stating this is reason to disregard the Bible. Even some evangelicals claim these ages just can’t be taken literally. But, is that really true?   In the last episode, we looked at historical and scientific evidence to corroborate the Bible’s claim that the Genesis patriarchs lived to extremely old ages. In fact, this longevity was probably experienced by at least some animals, as well. In this podcast, we ask the question, Might it eventually be possible for biblical creationists to actually explain this extreme longevity?   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Jake Hebert as they discuss this topic on episode 81 of The Creation Podcast.   Resources:   Do Tiny Mammal Fossils Corroborate Pre-Flood Longevity?   Oysters and Pre-Flood Longevity   More...

The world tells us that the book of Genesis is, if not entirely, at least partially a myth. We are told that history, archaeology, and science contradict supernatural creation and that there were no Adam and Eve in a Garden of Eden, so their sin didn’t bring death into the world.   But does the evidence support the truth of the Bible’s opening book? Could it be that Genesis is vitally important to how we understand our world, our lives, and the God who made us? Does it provide the foundation we need for all aspects of faith, science, and culture?   Dr. Thomas, author of Living in Light of Genesis, learned to accept the Bible’s history as literally truth not in spite of historical scientific knowledge, but in light of that knowledge.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Brian Thomas as they discuss this topic on episode 82 of The Creation Podcast.        More...

Racism and its foul fruits have plagued humanity for thousands of years and in the past couple of centuries it seems to have only reared its ugly head all the more.

(Stay tuned for Part 2!)         More...

Carbon dating is a common method used to determine the ages of fossils and other materials, but carbon14 deteriorates quite quickly. How can it still be detected in things that are supposedly millions or billions of years old? With the expertise of ICR geologist Dr. Tim Clarey, host Trey Bowling investigates different dating methods used by scientists to see if the data tells a different story than the one told in textbooks.         More...

According to many sources, some dinosaurs had feathers and eventually evolved into birds. But Scripture says that birds and dinosaurs were each created by God on two different days of the creation week—and that birds were actually created first, completely separate from dinosaurs.

Dragons are considered by many to be made-up creatures in fairytales and legends, but our ancestors produced many descriptions and depictions of "dragons," some of which match real dinosaur fossils found centuries later.

Dragons are considered by many to be made-up creatures in fairytales and legends, but our ancestors produced many descriptions and depictions of "dragons," some of which match real dinosaur fossils found centuries later. If humans lived with these incredible beasts, doesn't that contradict the evolutionist assumption that dinosaurs died off millions of years before modern humans evolved? Host Trey and paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas discuss the facts that lie behind the legends.         More...
