- So why is believing in a historical narrative of Genesis important while raising kids?
- 00:08
- You know, that's another really good question, and it's one that resonates very personally with me, is that I'm a father of four kids, and I didn't convert to being a biblical creationist until about five years ago.
- 00:21
- So when I was raising my two older girls, they would ask me questions like, hey Dad, where do the cavemen come from, or where do they fit in the biblical timeline?
- 00:29
- My answer was, well honey, if you believe in the old earth, here's your answer, but if the earth is young, then here's your answer.

- Same thing about dinosaurs or saber -toothed cats, whatever it might be, my two oldest daughters heard a dad that interpreted the
- 00:43
- Bible through two different possible frameworks. But what they were really hearing was, maybe
- 00:48
- Dad doesn't really stand on the word of God, or maybe he doesn't know, or even worse, maybe the Bible doesn't have a clear message about origins, all these questions that they're curious about.
- 00:58
- But when I saw the evidence of Noah's flood and dinosaurs, and I converted to a creationist,
- 01:03
- I had to go back and retrain my older two girls, but my younger two kids, they got a straight message from Dad.
- 01:10
- So what about dinosaurs, what about cavemen, what about saber -toothed cats? I was able to answer through a single worldview, one that was truly grounded all the way back to the book of Genesis.
