The Ropen: Light bird from young Earth

Greg, Dan, and Eric Episode 7

This week we're going international again and making camp on Umboi Island off the coast of Papa New Guinea! While sampling the local fruits, we discuss the Ropen, another giant flying cryptid that emits light (but not exactly like the Van Meter Visitor). We dig into its characteristics and eating habit before tripping into a discussion about Young Earth Creationism and how the Ropen itself opens up the possibility for a 6,000 to 10,000 year old Earth! So gather around the campfire and learn about this (pre)historic, potentially narrative-changing monster!
