TopLobsta and Thomas "Paranoid American" (Paranoid American Comics) begin going book by book through the Bible, starting with Genesis. This is their third sit-down, and it's a long, unscripted conversation working through Genesis 1 and 2, read aloud from the King James.

Thomas read Genesis as if it were the only book he had and came with pages of notes: Hebrew wordplay, gematria, and questions most Bible studies skip. TopLobsta answers from the rest of Scripture and keeps pulling back to the main point: knowing God matters more than having flawless doctrine.

In this episode:
• "In the beginning": what the word "in" implies, and whether God is limited to three dimensions
• Sola Scriptura, the Book of Enoch, and why Jude quoting Enoch matters
• Tohu va bohu and Isaiah 45:18: did the earth "become" without form?
• Young earth vs. old earth, and A.W. Tozer on being reasoned into Christianity
• Sevens in Genesis 1:1, Chuck Missler's Bible code, and the golden ratio in the Eden account
• Adam and Adamah, Sarai to Sarah, ish and ishah: the "breath of God" in Hebrew names
• Light before the sun, the greater and lesser lights, Freemasons and the prosperity gospel
• The image of God, "render unto Caesar," and whether anyone lived before Adam (plus the Lilith legend)
• "After his kind": Noah's ark, hybrids and the seed
• The Sabbath: "made for man, not man for the Sabbath"
• Man becomes a living soul: spirit, soul and body
• Eden's four rivers, naming the animals, Eve from the rib, and mitochondrial Eve
• The two trees, "every man did what was right in his own eyes," and whether original sin and "the fall" are actually in Genesis
• A first look at the sons of God, the Nephilim, and Genesis 6
