Genesis 1-3

Conversations surrounding the Bible’s opening pages have been completely overwhelmed with debates about creation versus evolution, creating a tense environment and alienating people on both sides of the cultural rift. are we destined to have this debate forever, or is there something we’re missing about Genesis 1-3?

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Dru Johnson, author of the new book What Hath Darwin to Do with Scripture? We discuss the origin of the culture war between evolution and creation, the original purpose of the creation story, and the wisdom we can learn from both science and Scripture.
