In wrapping up this mini-series on Creation and Predation, we "zoom out" a bit and look at this issue in the wider context of Christian belief. Ultimately, if we're to have a defense and a satisfying explanation for the way the world is, we'll need to remain faithful...
TCA Lesson 037: Q&A: Creation and Predation
Last week, we began looking at the issue of creation and predation. Some natural questions for further discussion arose out of the study; this week's podcast is a Q&A addressing those questions. In this lesson, you’ll learn: Where viruses and pathogens fit in the...
TCA Lesson 036: Creation and Predation—What Does the Bible Teach?
In the biblical account of earth history, an important distinction is made about the initial state of the creation. In fact, the Christian answer to death, pain, suffering, and objective evil in the world hinges on this important distinction. This week and next, we'll...
TCA Lesson 035: A Universe From Nothing?
In an attempt to explain the universe without God, Dr. Lawrence Krauss and others have argued that, indeed, the universe came into existence on its own--yes, a universe from nothing! Does this theory hold up? In this lesson, you’ll learn: The actual definition of...

TCA Lesson 033: Is Young Age Creationism Pseudoscience? (Part 1)

Did God Give Us Meaningless Genealogies in Genesis?
I have a confession to make: Genealogy, anthropology, etc., are not my favorite subjects of study. Be honest--you've probably skipped the reading of those ancient genealogies more than once in your regular Bible study. It's unfortunate, but this apathy seems to have...
TCA Lesson 032: A Historical Adam and the Authority of Scripture (BOH Series)
