Six Days, Six Billion Years, or Just One Really Long Monday
Alright y’all, we’re stepping into the ring today with one of the most controversial theological debates out there—how old is this rock we call Earth? Are we talking a young 6,000 years, or are we staring down the barrel of billions? And more importantly, what does that mean for our faith?
To help us unravel this tangled web, we brought back Genesis Marks the Spot host and theological deep-thinker Carey Griffel. She walks us through the different camps—Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Theistic Evolution, and the idea that maybe Genesis isn’t giving us a science lesson at all. Along the way, we dig into whether our view of creation affects our view of God, how ancient people saw history differently than we do, and why Day Seven in Genesis might just be the key to understanding the whole thing.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to reconcile science and the Bible, this episode is a goldmine. We’re not here to tell you what to believe—but we are here to challenge you to think, ask questions, and, as Carey says, have some fun with it!
So whether you’re Team Young Earth, Team Old Earth, or Team “I Just Work Here,” you’re gonna love this one.
