In this episode Marcus Ross (bio below) and I discuss dinosaurs. We discuss how the fossil record can be reconciled with a young earth creationist point of view, predators before the fall, Behemoth and Leviathan, dragons, the serpent of Genesis 3 and much more! Marcus Ross has loved paleontology (and especially dinosaurs) since he was a kid growing up in Rhode Island. After earning a B.S. in Earth Science from the Pennsylvania State University, he continued his studies with a M.S. in Vertebrate Paleontology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and a Ph.D. in Environmental Science (Geoscience) from the University of Rhode Island.  Dr. Ross taught at Liberty University for sixteen years, attaining the rank of Professor of Geology and also Director of the Center for Creation Studies. In 2021 he stepped away from teaching to dedicate more time to Cornerstone Educational Supply, the company that he and his wife Corinna founded in 2014.  Dr. Ross regularly contributes to creationist research and education in both technical and popular literature, with research published in Answers Research Journal, Journal of Creation, and the International Conference on Creationism. He has a forthcoming chapter arguing for a recent creation of Adam in Perspectives on the Historical Adam and Eve, forthcoming from B&H Press. Guest Website: https://cornerstone-edsupply.com/
