P.S. August 16, 2024: We’ve noticed the formatting has changed on our podcast posts, forcing the Spotify embeds to take up way more vertical space than they need. We are compensating by embedding them differently starting today, but for older posts, if there is a bunch of space under a Spotify embed, just keep scrolling! We’ll address the others when we can.

A Great, Short Video on the Supposed Whale Evolutionary Sequence

Some time ago, we did a Tomorrow’s World telecast on the problems with whale evolution. Why focus on whales? Because the supposed evolutionary sequence of whales is touted as one of the clearest and most supported by evidence. (Horses and, of course, humans are similarly touted. Pretty predictable touting. Or toutage, perhaps. Not really sure.) Yet, when you look at it closely, it falls short, which should cause one to wonder: If one of the best examples of evolution is actually a terrible example, then what sort of faith does such a theory deserve?

We bring it up because we just stumbled on a great “Long Story Short” video from the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture that makes most of the same points as we did in the telecast, just quicker and (to be honest) cuter. We’ve featured their videos before (like this one), and they are very well-made (and well-documented). Check out—it’s short! You’ll find it below, and then, below that, our own telecast on the same subject.

…and here’s our program, “Evolution: A Whale of a Tale,” making many of the same points.

Podcast 106: Why We Don’t Engage in Politics

Why don’t we get involved in politics? As the world around us falls apart, it can be increasingly tempting to follow the crowds into the voting booth. But it isn’t God’s way, and with thanks to a listener who asked us about this question, today we discuss why. Please join us!

P.S. Two things! (1) Teen Camp is gearing up! Just like we’ve done before in recent years, we’ll be posting pictures here on LivingYouth.org not long after it starts. Hopefully daily or close to it. So, keep checking in! (2) Mr. Gerald Weston has an excellent Living Church News article coming out on the same topic as today’s podcast, and we should have mentioned it! In fact, it’s already out online, and you can read it right now. The title is tongue-in-cheek: “‘It Is Your Patriotic Duty to Vote.'” (You have to look hard to see the quote marks in the quote marks…) Click through—it’s a quick read and crystal clear!
