    Episode 132: Todd and Paul's Jumbo Q & A Part 2

    It's been more than a year since we answered some of yourquestions, so let's get back to it! We've collected questions from YouTube comments, emails, and other social media, and Todd and Paul try to answer as many as they can in one episode (which turns out to be not very many). They cover limestone formation, endogenous retroviruses, the timing of the ice age, snake venom composition, animal migration after the Flood, and cryptozoology. All that and Paul's new office in the latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!  Materials Mentioned in this episode BCT's Cambridge House Project https://chproject.org.uk/ Episode 116: All about Core Academy of Science https://youtu.be/9A_7Bff_65E "The Coconino Sandstone (Permian, Arizona, USA): Implications for the origin of ancient cross-bedded Sandstones" ICC paper by Whitmore and Garner https://cedarville.tind.io/record/21142?ln=en&v=pdf Series on "Which rocks are Flood rocks?"

    Episode 131: Where did all this oil come from?

    Does oil take millions of years to form? If it did, that would be proof positive that the earth could not be thousands of years old. Join Todd and Paul as the chat with geologist Richard Bruce all about the formation of oil. Not only can oil form rapidly, hot water makes it happen! Oil is uniquely explainable by a global flood. Learn all about it in this latest episode of Let's Talk Creation!

    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?
