19 JUN 2024 · In this episode we explore Abel's murder, genealogies in Genesis 5 & 10, and the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 along with its potential implications between the original Hebrew, and the context of pre-flood world from Genesis 6. We explore the idea of a 6,000-year-old earth vs a 10,000-year-old earth that many young earth creationists would promote. This episode is intentionally done out of order from the rest of the Genesis series to discuss some of the less relevant sections of Genesis 1-11 for the podcast's intent. It may not be as action packed as our other episodes, but still brings value to the Genesis Deconstruction effort.

12 JUN 2024 · In this episode, we take a break from the deep interlinear analysis and shift gears to the topics of philosophy (and theology). The Euthypro Dilemma is philosphical argument laid out by Socrates to the Greek Hero Euthypro, and we use this philosphical issue to shed light on the topic of freewill from a Christian perspective and how these principles affect the Christian. While this episode dives deeper into the discussion of theology, it is a crucial part of the journey for anyone studying comparative myth. Understanding the implications of the Christian faith will serve as a guide for exploring the theology and polytheism of other myths. But if a theological discussion isn't you're cup of tea, we hope you will join us on the next episode.
