## Resource

Does the geologic timetable offered by evolution match up with the Biblical record of creation? Bible teacher and author Dr. John Whitcomb will tell us why this is not the case this week on "Encounter God's Truth." We are beginning a series called, "Catastrophism is the Key…" "The fossils came after Adam and Eve were created, not millions of years before," stated Dr. Whitcomb. He talks about his own journey away from attempts to compromise the book of Genesis through views such as the gap theory or the day-age theory. Our teacher also answered a question from host Wayne Shepherd, further developing this theme. The Bible is true from the beginning to the end, therefore we are so glad to bring you its powerful content each week here on "Encounter God's Truth"! Remember that you can always listen to all the past broadcasts from this entire series in our library at SermonAudio.com/Whitcomb, where you’ll find more than 1,500 sermons and messages that you can access and learn from at any time.
