My only real complaint with the series is that you don't hear enough from Dr. Lisle, the astro-physicist from U of Colorado.
I agree the moderator is clearly on the old earther side.

Yeah, Dr. Lisle is very good. I enjoyed listening to his series on distant starlight. As I recall he didn't give his definitive answer as to why we can see starlight that's millions of light years away, but he did present some interesting possibilities.

St. Helens), etc.
Yeah, I really enjoy looking at the info at the AIG website. There's a wealth of information there. It'd be neat to visit their creation museum someday.
