Ep. 37: LDS historian debunks myths about Adam & Eve

About this episode

LDS historian Ben Spackman discusses the historicity of Adam and Eve's story and its alignment with modern science.

Genesis teaches that Adam and Eve were our first parents. Or does it? LDS historian Ben Spackman is back, and in this episode we'll be discussing the historicity of Adam and Eve's story, and whether modern revelation can agree with modern science. Ben is here to blow minds and write dissertations...and he's all out of dissertations.
