Episode 46: Thank God for Microbes featuring Dr. Joe Francis
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.
