We’re resuming our Creationism 101 series! In this episode, we take a look at the doctrine called creatio ex nihilo. Is it really important that God created everything from nothing? Paul and Todd review all the biblical passages that support creation from nothing and how the early church supported this doctrine. The power of our God is manifested in this, that out of things that are not He makes whatever He pleases!

How did slow animals like sloths get from Noah's Ark in the mountains of Ararat to the jungles of South America? Is that a death blow to creationist thinking? Paul and Todd give some basic answers to this question and more in their latest episode as they wrap up their short series describing the world after the Flood. Listen in on their conversation to find out how the residual catastrophism of earthquakes and volcanoes and glaciation combine with ideas of diversification within created kinds to explain how animals got to their present homes. All that and sloths too!

Just what are created kinds anyway? The created kind forms a central part of creation biology, and kinds can even be used to construct a simple post-Flood chronology. In this new episode in our "After the Flood" series, Todd and Paul talk us through all the ins and outs of created kinds. If you've ever wondered what kinds are and how they relate to the Flood, this episode is for you! All that, and Rama the Cama too!
