This week's lesson takes a break from our current series, the Biblical Origin of Humanity. I begin with some commentary on Theistic Evolutionism, and then answer a couple creation questions. We finish off with a very, very special announcement about a project I've...
If the Earth is Young, Why Does it Look Old?
For nearly 1800 years, the majority position held within the Church has been that of young-age creation—or, the teaching that our Earth and even the universe is just over 6,000 years old and was created in just six ordinary days. Some claim that this teaching began...
TCA Lesson 023: Who Was Adam, and Who Are We? (BOH Series)
Who was Adam? The Bible describes Adam as the first human being—made in the “image and likeness” of God. This is in stark contrast to the evolutionary view, which teaches that we are simply a higher evolved animal, simply the product of millions of years of mindless,...
TCA Lesson 022: Does John Walton Get Genesis Right? (BOH Series)
Please excuse the slightly rough audio for the first 30 or so minutes. I am working to improve the audio overall but ended up with some unwanted vocal distortions throughout the first half of the podcast. I believe the content, however, is worth listening to...
TCA Lesson 021: Placing Adam in Humanity’s History (BOH Series)
In the evolutionary timescale, humanity came on the scene about 100,000 to 400,000 years ago, depending on who you ask. But the Bible seems to record an entirely different chronology. Is there any evidence—biblical or otherwise—that mankind is only around 6,000 years...

TCA Lesson 019: Adam, the New Testament, and the Church (BOH Series)
This week we're examing Adam, the New Testament, and the Church. Were the NT writers and church fathers convinced of Adam’s historicity? Despite the fact that many attempt to support an old earth and even an allegorical Adam by appealing to writers throughout the...

Responding to an Old Earth Argument: Are the Days in Genesis Actually Long Ages?
This article is written as a response to another blogger's article which deals with the age of the earth. In it, she suggests that the Earth is actually very old in accordance with secular dating methods, and claims her reasons have a sufficient basis in the writings...
TCA Lesson 017: Is Adam the Real Deal? (New Series-The Biblical Origin of Humanity)
There is an unfortunate and disturbing trend amongst evangelicals today. In a world where some of the leading atheist philosophers and even many mainstream scientists are retreating from the idea of biological evolution over millions of years, much of the church has...
