He estado publicando una serie de artículos sobre la mejor manera de interpretar los primeros capítulos del Génesis y sobre cómo la ciencia puede iluminar los textos bíblicos y guiar nuestra hermenéutica.

This, of course, caught my attention because of my focus on science/faith issues. I decided to take a listen but found myself quite frustrated within just minutes of Justin giving his introductions. Here is a link to the episode for those who would like to hear it for themselves: Do we live on a young or old earth? Ken Ham vs. Jeff Zweerink Throughout the discussion, Ken Ham presented many strawmen and misrepresentations of Zweerink’s old-earth creationist view in order to argue against the view.
