The Creation Podcast

When you look into the night sky, you’re seeing light that has traveled incredible distances to reach you. For centuries, astronomers have used telescopes to study the universe, and with each new discovery, the story of the universe gets more fascinating. One of the newest and most sophisticated telescopes, the James Webb Space Telescope, is stirring up big questions about how the universe began and whether the Big Bang is an accurate theory. --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon           More...

ICR’s science staff have spent more than 50 years researching scientific evidence that confirms the Bible's account of creation. But how does someone become a creation scientist? Dr. Brian Thomas shares how his personal journey led him to discover a deeper purpose through Christ. Hear how discipleship and the influence of faithful mentors shaped his worldview, strengthened his faith, and ultimately guided him to the Institute for Creation Research, where he now uses his passion for science to point others to the Creator.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon        More...

ICR’s science staff have spent more than 50 years researching scientific evidence that refutes evolutionary philosophy and confirms the Bible’s account of a recent and special creation, and through their work thousands of lives have been impacted with Christ’s creation truth. But how does one become a ‘creation scientist?’ What leads an individual down that particular vocational path? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Jeff Tomkins and learn more about his story and what led him to become a creation scientist at ICR.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon        More...

In 1993, the movie Jurassic Park took the world by storm with its compelling characters, excellent cinematography, industry-altering special effects, and… unfortunately, faulty science. While dinosaurs had been popular, this modern classic of a film rocketed these reptilian beasts to a new level of stardom. And while the film’s sequels have been hit or miss, it’s difficult to overstate the effect the franchise has had on public perception of dinosaurs.   The question remains–is building a Jurassic Park possible? Common sense tells us no. Even more common sense says, “There’s been a whole movie franchise dedicated to telling us that it would be a bad idea to even attempt something like this.”   But what does the science say? How possible is it really?   Join host Trey and paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas as they discuss this fascinating topic on episode 105 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks More...

The Bible is God’s Word. At least, it claims to be. And for centuries, Christians have staked their lives and eternities on its veracity. But there are many today, including scholars who claim Christianity, who cast doubt on the accuracy, reliability, and perfection of the Holy Scriptures.   But, if God’s Word isn’t true—if it’s full of exaggerations, errors, and fables—then why should we trust it? If we can’t believe what it says about the historical, doesn’t that negate what it says about the spiritual?   Despite ever-increasing efforts to undermine the authority and accuracy of God’s Word, the Bible stands firm. On today’s podcast, we’ll be discussing five reasons you can REALLY trust the Bible.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon   More...

The Scopes Trial is one of the most famous court cases in American history, and this year marks its one hundredth anniversary. Often, this is framed as a battle between science and religion, a perspective that has been perpetuated in the century since. But how much of what we’re told is real, and how much is the product of media distortion and clever storytelling?   Further, the evidence that supposedly supported evolution slated for use in the trial was suspect at best and fraudulent at worst. From beginning to end, the entire ordeal—from plans made before the trial to the media blitz that followed—was orchestrated to push a narrative. And that narrative runs counter to what Scripture plainly teaches.   In this two-part series, we’ll be discussing the Scopes Trial, the events leading up to it, and the aftermath, as well as much of the supposed evidence that was intended to be used to support evolutionary theory.

Since the late eighteenth century, most scientists have argued for a uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. They claim the world that exists today was sculpted by natural processes over billions of years. However, this interpretation presents many issues both scientifically and theologically. Contrary to popular belief, the global evidence indicates a recent catastrophic past.   By definition, science is truth attained by knowledge gained from evidence, but most students will only be presented with the uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. Recently, the Institute for Creation Research has had the privilege of publishing a geology textbook: Earth Systems: An Introduction to Earth System Origins, Structures, and Processes. This landmark textbook presents both worldviews, allowing the reader to examine both sides of the conversation.   In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at why such a biblical understanding of earth science is vital and why this textbook is such a valuable resource.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Timothy Clarey as they discuss this topic on episode 99 of The Creation Podcast.

Welcome to the fifth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.   A geological phenomenon known as the Great Unconformity exists all across the world. This erosional surface presents a problem to uniformitarian scientists and old-earth creationists alike. Where did it come from? How is it so remarkably smooth? What could cause an erosional surface to such a global extent?   In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the Great Unconformity and unravel the mysteries within the rocks.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Timothy Clarey as they discuss this topic on episode 97 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon ... More...
