The Winsome Creationist

Creationists are no strangers to disagreement. But what happens when disagreement turns to public denigration? This trend seems to be picking up in creationism, and I'm sad and frustrated about it. But I'm NOT hopeless!In fact, I think the brightest days for creationism are ahead. Let's talk about it!

Have you ever been asked why you think creation is such a big deal? Why does it matter WHEN God created the universe? Does the age of the earth really matter at the end of the day? I think this answer is a huge YES, and here's why. Link to the beginning of this series on the Bible Nerd Podcast: https://share.transistor.fm/s/1b871ce3

Have you ever considered a linkage between the story of Christmas and Genesis 6? Likely not. But what if I told you there was an abundance of evidence that these events are linked in multiple ways that would have had tremendous significance for the original audience of Scripture?Links mentioned: A Dragon in my Nativity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyC5RHKNBm4Heiser's Brief Presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQsPHvRNYSsHeiser on Capturing Christianity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS7r3_fxzUc&t=2163s

The Christmas season is about far more than a baby in a manger. It's about the Second Person of the Trinity, taking on the form of human flesh. But of course, the Bible says the "Word" has to do not only with Christmas but creation as well. Listen in as we explore the parallels between creation and Christmas in this special episode.

Feeling a little under the weather this week, sorry y'all! In the meantime, here's an episode of The Bible Nerd podcast recorded a while back dealing with Todd Wood's book called The Quest. Hope you enjoy! Here are the links mentioned: https://www.steveschramm.com/meaningless-genealogies-genesis/ https://www.steveschramm.com/jesus-creation/

God created this world with purpose and direction in mind. Despite what many critics say, this world was created for the glory of God and accomplishes those purposes. Here are some awesome examples of God's purposeful design in creation! The Age of Things video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhjfajPdotA

Dinosaurs are seemingly the mascot of naturalistic evolutionism. It's hard for people to imagine how God could have created such creatures, never mind having created them alongside man just 6,000 years ago! In this episode, creationist professor and paleontologist, Dr. Matt McLain, helps us understand dinosaurs from within a biblical paradigm. Did they have feathers? If so, does that mean they evolved into birds? What does dino poop have to do with it? We cover all these questions and more in this episode!

Paul Garner wrote The New Creationism in 2009, explaining how creationists who've taken a "model-building" approach could explain many of the world's features. In this episode (recorded in 2021), we get an update on the items Paul covered in the book. There are new problems, new solutions, and new questions! It's an exciting time to be a creationist. Listen in as Paul shares this tremendous update with us.
