Evolution or Creation? Why does it matter?

Join Justin Morris on the TLB Podcast as he dives into the theological consequences of the biblical creation narrative. Using a metaphor of a beautifully crafted but poisoned cake, Justin explains how faulty theology can be deadly to spiritual life. He discusses different views on the origin of the universe: naturalistic evolution, theistic evolution, intelligent design, and biblical creationism. He emphasizes the importance of believing in the literal account of Genesis 1:1, outlining how this belief impacts confidence in the Bible, the meaning of life and death, the nature of God, and the trustworthiness of Jesus Christ. This episode aims to help Christians solidify their faith and understanding of creation from a biblical perspective.
