Trace rejoins Josiah in this episode to continue the deep interlinear analysis of Genesis 2 and explore fringe ideas/interpretations of the text. We explore supposed contradictions, and implications of verses to the state of the world. The “misogynistic” interpretation of the Hebrew word for “rib” is also explored. Trace proves his superiority as the resident dinosaur nerd at the conclusion for our “creature fact” of the episode.

The NIV is a widely-used modern English translation. For more information or to obtain a copy of the NIV Bible, visit the publisher's website or your preferred bookstore.
