The creation/evolution debate can be pretty rough and tumble, and sometimes that can lead to anger and even bitterness. Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who use us. How can we do that in the world of debates when emotions get heated and our integrity is always questioned? Join Paul and Todd as they chat about this vital topic.

On this episode of Let's Talk Creation, Todd and Paul interview special guest Dr. Joe Francis about the good, the bad, and the ugly microbes God has gifted the world. Dr. Joe Francis is Chairman of Biological and Physical Sciences at The Master’s University in Santa Clarita, CA. Dr. Francis talks about what microbes are and how we interact with them on a daily basis. Microbes are everywhere and while there are really bad ones, there are also microbes that we and other creatures need to survive. They introduce the idea of symbiosis and why we should be thankful for microbes.
