Did I Get This Wrong? Reflecting on My Criticism of Answers in Genesis. In this unscripted episode, I respond to a reaction I received on my last video, where I critiqued Answers in Genesis for not crediting young-earth creationist researchers in their discussion of a recent dinosaur collagen discovery. Did I jump to conclusions? Was I too aggressive? Let’s take a step back and reassess the situation.
I also discuss a broader issue: how Answers News presents scientific discoveries. Are their hosts engaging with the original research, or just repeating talking points? Why does their analysis lack depth? I share my thoughts on these questions and reflect on my own approach to critiquing young-earth creationist materials.
