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!

As we celebrate FIVE whopping years of thoughtful creationist discussions, Paul and Todd pause to answer a common question. Why are you doing this? Our hosts spend a lot of time researching and planning the show and recording episodes. Todd and Paul describe the passion for God and his creation that drives them both to explore and study God's works and to share their learning with the world. As always, we hope that these podcasts will encourageyou to learn, grow, and worship!

And here you thought our "After the Flood" series wasover! Surprise, we got a new episode! We had several thoughtful responses to our "After the Flood" series from last year, and we decided to record a response episode. Is there too much happening in too little time? Can we be sure? How could species change so much? Could animals really raft across the ocean? All that and the Columbia River Basalts! And Rama the Cama too!
