Kaitlyn is joined by biblical scholar Dru Johnson this week to answer some very practical questions about Adam and Eve: were they created as babies or adults? How did they know about babies? How would Eve have even known she was pregnant? Along the way, we’ll discuss how to read confusing biblical texts, how to ask good questions of the Bible, and why Genesis is so concerned with procreation.
Were Adam and Eve babies? How would they know how to get babies out?

These interpretations and ideas help to address the practical questions about how Adam and Eve might have understood That's Not My Neighbour Nightmare Mode and navigated their roles in the early chapters of Genesis.
I have no idea where Johnson is getting his ideas about evolutionary biology. Two sexes aren't an "embarrassment" in evolutionary science at all. He also talks about "evolutionists" as if that's some sort of weird outside position. Is all of this predicated on an exclusively literal reading of Genesis? You do know most Christians believe in evolution, right?

A 2nd Grade Sunday School student asked me "Mr Rick, if Jesus is God, how can he be on earth and in heaven at the same time?" Kind of blindsided me at first and then we tip-toed into talk of the Trinity. When I told her parents later, they rolled their eyes until I assured them I LOVE that kids ask these kind of questions and pointed them to GotQuestions.org
