In this episode Marcus Ross (bio below) and I discuss dinosaurs. We discuss how the fossil record can be reconciled with a young earth creationist point of view, predators before the fall, Behemoth and Leviathan, dragons, the serpent of Genesis 3 and much more! Marcus Ross has loved paleontology (and especially dinosaurs) since he was a kid growing up in Rhode Island. After earning a B.S. in Earth Science from the Pennsylvania State University, he continued his studies with a M.S. in Vertebrate Paleontology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and a Ph.D. in Environmental Science (Geoscience) from the University of Rhode Island.  Dr. Ross taught at Liberty University for sixteen years, attaining the rank of Professor of Geology and also Director of the Center for Creation Studies. In 2021 he stepped away from teaching to dedicate more time to Cornerstone Educational Supply, the company that he and his wife Corinna founded in 2014.  Dr. Ross regularly contributes to creationist research and education in both technical and popular literature, with research published in Answers Research Journal, Journal of Creation, and the International Conference on Creationism. He has a forthcoming chapter arguing for a recent creation of Adam in Perspectives on the Historical Adam and Eve, forthcoming from B&H Press. Guest Website: https://cornerstone-edsupply.com/

John was born in Montreal to Christian parents from Hungary and moved to Toronto when he was nine years old. In his teen years, he began to explore how we know that Christianity is true, sparking an intense commitment to Christian apologetics. John graduated with a B.A.Sc. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Toronto (1985) and worked almost six years in industry, during which time he taught Bible studies at church, at his home, and in his workplace. Concluding that his role in the kingdom was teaching and apologetics, John earned an M.Div. (Pastoral) from Ontario Theological Seminary in 1996; his master’s thesis was “The Westcott-Hort Theory Re-examined.” He became a pastor, first at Toronto Formosan Presbyterian Church and then at Mississauga Christian Church. He has taught on apologetics topics at several local churches and has done presentations for Teen’s Conference, Toronto Christian Homeschoolers (TORCH), and for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) and The Navigators group meetings. In 2005, he, along with some dedicated coworkers, founded the apologetics ministry Truth In My Days. In this episode we discuss the majority v. critical text debate and everything that goes with it. We discussed Bible transitions, the differences in the text including examples, how to choose between textual differences and much more!
