Scripture On Creation Podcast

A few years ago the "Creation Community" lost a great spokesman, Dr. David Menton.  Professor for decades in Washington University (St. Louis) Medical School, and part of Answers In Genesis, his expertise in biological systems is greatly missed.  Dr. Scripture interviewed Dr. Menton in 2019; what we discussed is still totally relevant.

We've come to chapter 38; the point at which the Creator Himself enters the "debate." He speaks to Job in a whirlwind--the sense being the Lord is not going to be gentle.  In verses 4-6 God describes the design of the earth.

Elihu rebukes Job for his arrogance and Job's friends for their mistaken condemnation of Job.  Elihu demonstrates a thorough understanding of the nature of Man, and highlights God's power shown in a thunderstorm.

What's beyond space; where is the flaming sword that guarded Eden; what will we do forever in heaven?  Dr. Scripture addresses these and other questions.

Dr. Scripture spoke about creation to middle schoolers at Camp Horizon in central Florida; they had LOTS of questions.  Related to Job 38:7, many of the questions were about angels. In this program we address them.

Starting in chapter 32, a "young" man named Elihu enters the discussion.  His comments allude to the idea that Job and his colleagues lived much longer lives than we do today.  Elihu also reveals an understanding of Gen 2:7.

Cavemen and human rights; discovered and socially applied in just our modern era?  In Job chapters 30 and 31 these ideas are discussed by Job as he laments his condition.

In Job 28, Job describes the pursuit of wealth and points out that wisdom should be pursued to an even greater extent.  However, Job laments, wisdom cannot be found by Man.  Such a pessimistic conclusion is the result of his intense suffering.  Yet he proclaims, "the fear of the Lord that is wisdom."

In Job chapters 27 and 28, Job laments the suffering the Almighty is putting him through, but he refuses to curse God or accuse Him of wrongdoing.  Job also refuses to confess to wrongdoing that he did not commit.

Mark describes the soft unfossilized tissue found in dinosaur bones and the significance of these kinds of discoveries for the claims evolutionary theory makes concerning their age.

Mark Armitage has published articles describing and showing electron micrographs of unfossilized tissue in dinosaur remains.  In part 1 of this interview his background and an initial description of his findings are presented.

Most people are familiar with the 10 Commandments of Exodus 20 (even if they don't know what they are).  There is also an interesting possibility that there are 10 Commandments in the creation account of Genesis chapter 1.

More comparisons are made between Job's discourse and Paul's "Mars Hill" sermon.  One curious aspect of Paul's message is he seems to share only part of the gospel.  In these passages both Job and Paul focus on the need to fear God.

Paul's sermon on Mars Hill in Acts 17 has several similarities to Job's discourse in Job 26. Some comparisons and contrasts are discussed; the identity of God as Creator is key.

Romans 5:12 indicates that death entered the world because of Adam's sin.  However, the meaning or "kind" of death that entered the world does not have a simple answer.

Answers In Genesis (AIG) has just published a Christian School curriculum.  Dr. Scripture interviews Laura Allnutt, AIG's Director of Educational Curriculum.

After the sweeping description of the mighty power and work of the Almighty in Job 26: 5-13, Job points out "these are the FRINGES of His ways!"  All we may comprehend about the Creator is like seeing an eclipse of the sun.

Job 26 presents a sweeping description of the awesome (that's the angelic term) Creator's work in the universe.  Hanging Earth in space, controlling the weather and the rise and fall of nations, and more.

There's a 12 chapter "gap" after Job 13 to the next passage related to creation--but what a passage it is.  Job 26 contains one of the "greatest" passages describing the Creator in all Scripture.  AND, Scripture On Creation has just overhauled the website, check it out!

Radiometric dating is widely used to establish the age of various artifacts.  Carbon 14 is used to assess the age of artifacts assumed to be in the range of 50,000 years or less.  Logical and empirical grounds challenging the "standard" interpretation of C14 dating is discussed.
