Ep. 41- "The Great Debate- Creationism vs. Evolution" Part 3- Biology

Ep. 41- "The Great Debate- Creationism vs. Evolution" Part 3- Biology
Join me and my class for PART THREE of "The Great Debate: Creationism vs. Evolution" Biology. My dream since 2009 has finally come true! Well, sort of! I was able to write, develop, and teach the first ever NCAA-approved "Origin of Life" course at LCA, Liberty Christian Academy.  The students defended the Biblical position while I "attacked" their beliefs and position using some common secular arguments. Of course, my goal was to help them establish a foundation based on reason and logic rather than just reciting Bible verses (which should be enough anyways!) Another focus is to emphasize the secularists often do not even acknowledge the Bible as having any authority; therefore, we tried to stick mostly to 'scientific arguments', aside from my occasional intentional attacks to attempt throwing them off their game!The students defend the evidence for the Biblical position that macroevolution (Darwinian evolution) is NOT a feasible position, but microevolution is something that ALL scientists agree does occur! Michael Morris, LCA Bible instructor, serves as our debate host for this event! The debate features three parts:Part One- Astronomy (Big Bang Theory vs. Biblical Creationism)Part Two- Geology (Uniformitarianism vs. Catastrophic Plate Tectonics)Part Three- Biology (Macroevolution vs. Microevolution)If you have questions or feedback, please use the contact information below!E-mail: jmbracewell@liberty.edu; bracewell2007@creationandcompost.comSponsors and/or Advertisements:Revitalize to Plant, Drs.

Ep. 38- "It's a-Me....No Woke Mario!"
I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC!!Did you ever have an NES? I got my first video game console for Christmas 1988, and Super Mario Bros was the main title I spent my time attempting to master. Nintendo has always had a special place in my family's past, and I am forever grateful for the memories made.(SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!) IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE, PLAN TO DO SO, AND DO NOT WANT THE RESULTS SHARED WITH YOU, THEN LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST EPISODE AFTER YOU HAVE WATCHED IT!)We took our family to watch the new "Super Mario Bros. Movie", and it was AMAZING! Very few movies today do not have subtle and/or obvious "woke garbage" in their films. This one was special, and we had a blast!Enjoy some music from the past, the Bracewell kiddos sharing their favorite movie moments, and of course, some Biblical applications! John 15:13 is our main passage we view as a main concept from the movie.Music Credits:https://downloads.khinsider.com/ Movie Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_Mario_Bros._MovieSponsors and/or Advertisements:Revitalize to Plant, Drs.

Ep. 34- Dreams Don't Come True, But Callings Do!
Do you have dreams? Have you accomplished what you have wanted to in life? In this special episode of "Creation and Compost", I had the opportunity to interview  a former student, Jared Rager, who is currently serving in the media booth with the Atlanta Braves. He grew up loving baseball, wrestling, and most every sport, but always had the passion to be a sports announcer. He began as a high school baseball and softball announcer, but has worked his way up through the Minors into the Big Leagues!Listen as we discuss his journey, his upbringing, his faith, and family support in attaining his path in this life. We also spend a substantial amount of time discussing the current state of Major League Baseball. Listen to both mine and Jared's top five "favorite parts of the game" and top five "things we would change". What do you think about the new MLB rules? Contact us and let us know!
