Is it young? Is it old? Is there a middle ground? To help us navigate these theological and scientific waters, we brought back the brilliant Carey Griffel of Genesis Marks the Spot. We break down different perspectives—young earth, old earth, theistic evolution—and tackle how these views shape our understanding of Genesis, inspiration, and even God’s character. And of course, we sprinkle in some humor, some tinfoil-hat moments, and a whole lot of nerdy theological goodness.
