Cooper & Cary Have Words

#113 You Don't Look A Day Over 4.5 Billion (With Rhys Laverty)

James Cary & Barry Cooper Season 1

Barry and James have words with the excellent Rhys Laverty about creationism: young earth, old earth, and points in between. What are the non-negotiables where it comes to interpreting Genesis? Is it important to believe that the days described in Genesis chapter 1 are literal 24 hour days? Does it matter whether or not Adam was a literal person? And what does "ineffable" even mean?

Production and music by Cooper & Cary. Opening theme by Roger Taylor, AKA Beyond Our Galaxy.
