Summary

The first two chapters of Genesis are among the most contested in the Bible when it comes to evolution and faith. Justin is joined by a Christian and agnostic who both claim to show a significant overlap between the Genesis account and evolutionary history, Theologian Niamh Middleton, author of ‘Homo Lapsus: Sin, evolution and the God who is love’, says that Biblical account of human creation and fall maps onto what we know of the evolutionary record. Agnostic scientist Andrew Parker, author of ‘The Genesis Enigma: Why the Bible is scientifically accurate’ says that the stages of the 6-day creation account in Genesis also map onto the stages of development of life on the earth.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome along to Unbelievable with me Justin Briley. This Saturday afternoon,
0:11.7	here on Premier Christian Radio as part of Faith Explored, but listen to all over the
0:15.7	world at all times of the day and night via our podcast. A great to have you join me
0:20.9	today for another conversation that matters. That's what we like to bring you. Conversations
0:25.4	that matter every week. Got really interesting pair of guests today talking about evolution
0:30.5	and the book of Genesis, the early chapters thereof. So listen out for my guests very shortly.
0:36.1	I've just returned this last week from Unbelievable Live in LA and what a fantastic time we had
0:42.6	out there. A Friday night conversation between Dave Rubin and John Lennox. Really a very unique
0:48.6	one. I've never really ever hosted a conversation quite like the one we had on that Friday night
0:54.8	in Costa Mesa. I think the audience would agree actually who were there. Perhaps you caught
0:59.2	it on the livestream, but don't worry if you didn't because we will be releasing it on Friday,
1:03.9	the 15th of November as episode four of the big conversation. So look out for that. You won't
1:10.2	want to miss that one when it comes out. We also had a wonderful day conference on the Saturday.
1:15.2	So many people are coming out both for the event on the Friday night and the day conference
1:20.0	at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. So many people to thank as well. I'll try and do that a little
1:24.6	later on in the course of the program and we'll be making sure that the videos from the conference
1:29.6	are made available as well before the end of the year. So stay tuned for that and I'll give you
1:34.3	more details about it when I can. But for now, let's leap into today's show. And like so many
1:41.3	today's show is on video. You can get it from our website premier christianradio.com forward slash
1:47.5	unbelievable. You can find links there to the podcaster. Various resources including the book,
1:53.0	including events, including other resources like the newsletter, the app and so forth. And of
1:57.6	course, links to the YouTube channel, as I say, where you can find today's show on video.
