    Todd and Paul wrap up their big Czech Adventure with a visit to the Stone Age! Long ago, the southern Czech villages of Pavlov and Dolní Věstonice were home to mammoth hunters, and they left abundant evidence of their dwellings, prey, and even culture. Over the past century, Czech archaeologists have been excavating those sites, and Paul and Todd are going to get the whole scoop as they wander the countryside where these ancient hunters lived. What does this site mean for creationists?

    Episode 126: Todd and Paul Talk Selam!! Another hominin like Lucy?

    Lucy may be the most famous Australopithecus fossil, but Selam is much better preserved. Researchers discovered this fossil in 2000 just across the river from where Lucy was found, and the recent exhibit at the Czech National Museum in Prague included this fossil as well as Lucy. In this episode, Paul and Todd review all the details from this skeleton, including a part that is completely unique in Australopithecus discoveries. What's the creationist angle on all this? You'll have to tune in to find out!Materials for this EpisodeWood, Todd Charles and Brummel, P. S.

    Everyone says that Genesis 2 contradicts Genesis 1! Could everyone be wrong? Join Paul and Todd as they discuss the alleged problems with Genesis 2 in this latest episode in our Creationism 101 series. From the name of God to the creation of birds, Todd and Paul take on eight contradictions and find most of them wanting.
