Today’s episode tackles a topic I’ve wanted to explore for years: the age of the earth and what Christians should really believe about origins. Is the earth young? Is it old? Did God use evolutionary mechanisms to bring about life as we know it? And most importantly, what actually matters theologically?
Joining me in the studio is Dr. Tricia Scribner, whose PhD research focused specifically on these questions. Together we unpack the key differences between young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution. These are distinctions that are far more significant than they first appear. We also discuss the overlap between progressive Christianity and Theistic Evolution.
Ultimately, we examine why confusion about origins is growing in churches, seminaries, and Christian universities — and how Christians can think carefully, biblically, and charitably about these issues without turning secondary questions into unnecessary dividing lines.
