Evolution and Abiogenesis: Different, or the Same?

by Steve Schramm | Jun 30, 2020 | Article, Creation, Podcast

Although evolution and abiogenesis are two very important parts of the origins conversation, there is often some confusion about how these relate to one another. Are they ultimately the same thing? Is there a distinction?

God in the Garden in the Cool of the Day: A Man, or a Myth?

by Steve Schramm | Jun 16, 2020 | Article, Creation, Podcast, Theology

What kind of relationship did God have with Adam and Eve? Depending upon how you understand a particular pericope in Genesis 3, it may alter your entire understanding of the nature of God’s relationship to his first imagers. Was God in the garden a “man,” or a “myth?”

William Lane Craig and The Historical Adam: Part Two

by Steve Schramm | May 7, 2020 | Creation, Quick Thoughts, Theology

A while ago, I recorded an episode of the podcast discussing some of the thoughts offered by Bill Craig (WLC) in his study on the historical Adam. It’s been a while since I’ve updated, and there are two main points that I think readers need to be aware of at this point.

Beauty in God’s Creation w/ Pat Mingarelli

by Steve Schramm | Mar 5, 2020 | Creation, Podcast

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” But what if that were not so? God, our Creator, is beautiful. And so is his creation. To talk about the objectivity of beauty, I’ve brought on a good friend of mine, nature photographer, and creation enthusiast, Pat Mingarelli.

Genesis 1-11 and the “Textbook Myth”

by Steve Schramm | Feb 6, 2020 | Creation, Podcast

The Bible is not a “scientific textbook”—of that, I’m sure. But it seems to common among critics of young age creation to claim that we think it is. Why is this, and what can we do about it?

Don’t Fear “the Reaper”: Why Young Earth Creationists Can—and Should—Embrace the Ancient Near-Eastern Background of the Bible

by Steve Schramm | Feb 4, 2020 | Article, Creation, Podcast

Due to what I consider to be a misuse of ancient Near-Eastern (ANE) backgrounds among evangelical scholars in recent years, many young age creationists have steered clear of broaching this topic. This, I believe, is an error.

Young Earth Claims ≠ Flat Earth Claims

by Steve Schramm | Jan 30, 2020 | Apologetics, Creation, Podcast

Have you ever heard the idea that it’s just as ridiculous—if not more so—to believe in a flat earth than a young earth? Or, that these two are somehow claims of equal proportions? Find out how to respond to this challenge.

Is the Gap Theory Biblical? Refuting James Knox on the “Gap Fact.”

by Steve Schramm | Jan 28, 2020 | Bible Q & A, Creation, Podcast

Does the Bible allow for a large gap of time between the first two verses of the Bible? Few scholars believe this to be the case, and yet the Gap Theory persists as an option for many wishing to reconcile an old earth with the biblical record.

The Neanderthal Problem

by Steve Schramm | Jan 23, 2020 | Creation, Podcast

How do Neanderthals fit into a biblical worldview? Are cavemen, stone tools, hunter/gatherer lifestyles a threat to a biblically sound, young age creationist viewpoint? I don’t think so. Here’s why!
