S1E10 The One with Lars Part 1

Flawed Theology

In today's episode, Susie and Phil talk with Lars Cade about some very interesting topics. We are both very interested in science and are always looking to find people who know more than we do about a given topic. Lars is essentially a self-taught guru on the topics of evolutionary biology, young earth creationism, and intelligent design. We are really excited to dig into these topics today and we hope that this will spark your interest to deepen your learning and knowledge in these areas, not only for the standpoint of being able to intelligently debate them with people who believe in YEC or ID, but also for your own personal knowledge building. There are a massive amount of links below with a bunch of information that will help you on your scientific journey.
