Episode 136: Combating 3 Myths Of Evolution
Dr. Georgia Purdom, Vice President of Educational Content at Answers In Genesis, helps us understand the difference between facts, theories, and ideas and gives us the tools to teach our children how to debunk 3 of the most popular myths of evolution! Georgia says if we want to combat evolution effectively with the truth of God’s Word and science we have to know what the evolutionists are saying, what the arguments are, and what children are being taught.
The world will take every advantage it can to teach children contrary to God’s Word, so it’s our job to be intentionally teaching them truth. You’ll leave this conversation ready to debate like a gospel-believing biologist!
