About this episode

In this episode, Paul and Todd discuss Genesis 5-6, exploring genealogies and the narrative structure of the Flood story.

As we continue our series on Creationism 101, Paul and Todd tackle Genesis 5-6, which include the genealogy of Adam's son Seth and the world before the Flood. 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.
