In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O'Kelley addresses questions pertaining to Adam and Eve. Were they real historical figures, or merely literary symbols? If they did really exist, were they created by the special action of God, or did they evolve from lower forms of life? Can all human beings trace their ancestry back to this single pair of human beings, or should we allow for pre-Adamite ancestors as well? We must let the clear teachings of Scripture guide us on each of these questions.

In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O'Kelley examines the worldview assumptions that make the task of science possible and plausible. Far from showing a contradiction between Christianity and science, the deeper worldview assumptions of a true scientific method reveal a dependence on Christian presuppositions. Although many naturalistic scientists posit a conflict between science and Christianity today, the truth is precisely the opposite.

In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O'Kelley addresses the issue of the gift of prophecy, a major source of contention between cessationists (those who believer some spiritual gifts have ceased) and continuationists (those who affirm the continuation of all spiritual gifts to the present day). When the issue is rightly understood, it turns out that thoughtful cessationists and thoughtful continuationists need not be radically different from each other in practice as they seek to love fellow believers and build them up.
