More Than Dinosaurs: Why Origins Matter | Forged with Zach Fontaine

A lot of people don’t walk away from faith because they stop believing in God… They walk away because they think the Bible can’t stand up to questions. In this episode of Forge, I’m joined by Thomas Bailey from Creation Ministries International, an organization committed to helping Christians understand and defend the truth of Scripture, especially when it comes to Genesis, creation, history, and dinosaurs. Thomas shares his journey from working as an actor to becoming a communicator and speaker in the world of apologetics, with a deep conviction that truth matters and the Church has to be equipped. We talk about the message of Genesis and why it’s not a side issue. We get into the old earth vs. young earth debate, common assumptions behind dating methods, Noah’s flood, carbon-14, dinosaur claims, and why apologetics isn’t about “winning arguments”, it’s about strengthening believers and removing unnecessary barriers to faith. If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you grew up believing and what you’re hearing from culture, this episode is for you.
