Marcus Ross - Dinosaurs
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.

Dr. Danny Faulkner holds an MS in physics from Clemson University, an MA and a PhD in astronomy from Indiana University, and he taught at the University of South Carolina—Lancaster for over 26 years. He has published over 100 papers in various journals.

He also hosts Ark Encounter trips down to Red River Gorge (in eastern Kentucky), and Stargazer’s Nights (at the Johnson Observatory); he also hosts Astronomy Live programs, and “The Skies Proclaim His Handiwork” workshops at the Creation Museum. In this episode we discuss the three tiered heavens, the firmament, day 2 of creation, the waters above the heavens, cosmic microwave background, dark matter and the constellations.
This is the show that covers all the weird christian stuff we typically don’t hear about from the pulpit or Sunday school classes. If you’re like me, your curious mind wonders, not only about the weird things we read about in the Bible, but also seeks to find biblical answers to all the weird things we see in world around us. So journey with me as I interview guests who are willing to share what Christ has done in their life and aren’t afraid to get a little weird!
