Origins

This playlist contains various speakers and content that discusses biblical origins.

What is the origin of man? The Book of Genesis tells the truth of Creation and the origin of man. Genesis 2:7 (ESV) reads: then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:21-22 (ESV) reads: So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

  • S1E3 Freakshow: Fueling the Fire of "Scientific" Racism

  • S1E4 Freakshow: The Holocaust before the Holocaust

Belief in Darwin’s missing links led directly to belief in Darwin’s law of survival of the fitte...

  • S1E5 Freakshow: The Search for Scientific Evidence

    From its inception, the scientific proofs offered to support human evolution have been riddled with holes. In fact, just like the dubious side-show examples touted by circus shysters, many of the earliest proofs were fraudulent, and modern research shows that many proofs were driven by scientific...

  • S1E6 Freakshow: Removing God from the Equation

    For many people, the story of evolution removes God from the equation of life, concluding if there is a naturalistic, scientific way to account for the universe and everything in it, then God’s law is irrelevant. However, if we are simply evolved animals, how does morality apply at all? If “Thou ...

  • S1E7 Freakshow: Regaining God's Image

  • Homo Habilis: Evidence for Evolution or Extinct Ape?

  • Neanderthals: Evidence for Evolution or Just Human?

    Natural History Museums everywhere display line-ups of ape-to-human icons that supposedly show how humans evolved from ape-like creatures millions of years ago. The last step in this line up are Neanderthals, holding the “40,000 to 400,000 years ago” time slot. Just decades ago, Neanderthals were...

  • The Uniqueness of Humans - part 2 (with Dr. Nagy Iskander)

  • Pseudogenes

    What are “pseudogenes?” Are they really useless genes leftover from evolution? Can they show that different organisms—like chimps and humans—share the same ancestor? Popular evolutionary arguments would say so, but let’s see how to think biblically and critically about such claims.

  • Are Humans Related to Chimps?

    One of the biggest debates in evangelical Christianity today is whether Adam and Eve were real people. Sadly, many believe that genetics has proven that humans and chimps share a common ancestor disproving the existence of an original couple specially created by God. As a consequence, many have b...

  • Creation vs Evolution: Why it Matters

    Many people believe that Genesis is of little importance in our world today. And they don’t think it’s accurate. Avery Foley shows why our view of creation or evolution, and the age of the earth are ultimately biblical authority issues of huge significance. A proper understanding of Genesis (espe...

  • S1E4 Why should a ‘young earth’ even matter to Christians? (Part 1)

    Far from being a side-issue, the age of the earth is vital to consistent gospel witness. Many Christians may have never considered the damage to the concept of biblical authority that adopting the secular timescale has done.
