In this 49-minute lecture, Dr. Todd Wood answers the objection that “scientific creationism” is only a recent phenomenon. As he shows by going to the works of the Church fathers, they thought the opening chapters of the Bible communicated real history, not metaphor.
This lecture is one of 60 that made up the “Is Genesis History?” Conference earlier this year, and all 60 can be had for $10 here: https://www.isgenesishistory.com/conference/
