Note: Unlike other (earlier) Jonathan Park episodes, this episode actually contains quite a bit of  factual information, given in minute-long snippets. The characters make it a point to emphasise that all these animals were designed by a Creator.  For brevity’s sake, I will only concentrate on the problematic statements – from a YEC vs Evolution perspective – and leave the other factual statements alone.

Topics:

• Lions
• Giraffes
• Ostriches
• Hippopotamuses
• Creation vs ‘Random’ Evolution
