Episode 3 - Did God Create the World in Seven Days?

The Good Brew

On this episode of The Good Brew, the guys dive into the first hot debate topic of the show, starting with the very beginning of the Bible - Creation and Genesis 1. They open the episode on a fun note of their favorite MCU characters and the coffee that they are drinking this episode (0:00-2:39), and then discuss the type of genre Genesis 1 is composed of and why the creation account is such a hot topic (2:40-6:13), before giving their thoughts to the question: did God create the world in seven days (6:14-12:46)? This leads into a dive into the text itself to see what the chapter actually says, where they break down the Hebrew word "create" and how it is used in the ancient Biblical context, with the conversation continuing through the rest of the 6 days of the creation story (12:47-25:14). Next, they discuss how the Biblical account of creation differs from other creation accounts of the surrounding ancient near east cultures (25:15-28:20), culminating in a conversation about day 7 and the idea of "rest" in Genesis 1, and the role of temples in ancient near eastern ideology (28:21-37:58). They end the episode discussing what to do with the information and how it impacts and applies to our lives (37:59-45:05).
