Transcribe →Episode 137: Creation is Fallen! with Ken Coulson
May 1801:05:57Tap to summarizeKen Coulson from @CreationUnfolding joins Paul and Todd to talk about his new book Creation is Fallen: The Curse, Animal Suffering, and the Problem of Natural Evil (https://amzn.to/4dpiOUe). As theologians continue to try to reconcile evolution and the Christian faith, more scholars advocate doing away with the traditional doctrine of the fall. In this episode, Ken explains in detail why that just won't work. Through careful study of the Bible and basic moral and philosophical reasoning, Ken's book helps us to understand the origin of the suffering in our world.Episodes Mentioned in this episodeKen's new book Creation is Fallen:https://amzn.to/4dpiOUeKen's channel:https://www.youtube.com/@CreationUnfoldingJon Garvey's God's Good Earth: The Case for an Unfallen Creationhttps://amzn.to/4tFR1VJ📫Send questions to podcast@coresci.orgSupport our work🔬📖Donate to Support the Mentoring of the Next Generation of Creation Scholars https://coresci.org/index.php/sanders-scholars/🔬Join Todd’s Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/researchreports🎁Give to the Core Academy general fund https://coresci.org/donate🎁Support the podcast by going to https://letstalkcreation.org🏫Support Paul’s work at Biblical Creation Trust and the Cambridge House Project at https://www.biblicalcreationtrust.org/⛺Come to the Core Academy Spring RetreatGet Tickets here: https://coresci.org/smokiesOr email info@coresci.org to get information on the next retreat 🎁Please consider supporting this work by going to https://coresci.org/connect or https://biblicalcreationtrust.orgSocial Media LinksLet’s Talk Creation Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LetsTalkCreationLet’s Talk Creation Instagram https://www.instagram.com/letstalkcreation/Core Academy of Science Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coresci.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreacademyofscience/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoreacadInfo Website: https://coresci.org/Biblical Creation Trust Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biblicalcreationtrustTwitter: https://twitter.com/bct_origins Website: https://www.biblicalcreationtrust.org/*Disclaimer: Things mentioned in the Show Notes are not endorsements of people, places, or things discussed in the podcast, but rather a record of what was spoken about and helpful links to material for our listeners.
