creationism

The evolution vs. creationism controversy centers on differing explanations for the origin and development of life. Evolution, supported by scientific evidence, posits that species evolved over millions of years through natural selection and genetic variation. Creationism, rooted in religious beliefs, claims that life was created by a divine being in its current form, as described in sacred texts like the Bible. This debate has sparked educational and legal disputes, particularly regarding whether both views should be taught in public schools. The controversy reflects broader tensions between science and religion in explaining human origins.

We’re putting on our Indiana Jones hats and digging deep on this episode of 13 O’Clock, which is a whirlwind examination of crazy archaeological and natural history claims that have been used to support young-earth creationism. From living frogs found encased in solid rock, to supposed pterodactyls found in caves in the 1860s; from the Acambaro Figures to the footprints at the Paluxy Riverbed, we’re running through a plethora of pseudo-archaeological finds and various other “Forteana.” All this, plus silly news stories about afterlife malarkey, Easter molestation, and mummified monkeys. Grab your spades and get ready to delve into episode 90.
