Next, molecular geneticist Dr. Andrew Fabich joins the show to discuss the latest headlines claiming scientists have “rewritten life’s code.” Using E. coli, researchers say they’ve altered genetic instructions to create synthetic life—but Dr. Fabich explains what was really done and why this discovery actually reinforces the case for intelligent design. He unpacks the limits of genetic engineering, the importance of redundancy in DNA, and why life’s complexity continues to point back to the Creator.

Then, geologist Dr. Tim Clarey from the Institute for Creation Research examines a bold new claim that the Earth once absorbed massive amounts of ocean water, lowering global sea levels and altering the planet’s climate. Clarey explains why this idea is more speculation than science, and how the rock record—when viewed through the lens of the global Flood—makes much more sense than millions of years of plate tectonics and slow change.

Finally, science communicator James Worrell joins the conversation to analyze another surprising theory: that Earth may once have had rings like Saturn. Worrell explains the science behind this claim, what celestial evidence it’s based on, and how even speculative theories about planetary history can still point us to purpose, design, and the creative brilliance of God.

Next, author and creation speaker Brian Young joins the show to discuss a troubling claim circulating through mainstream media: that humanity may be heading toward extinction due to falling birthrates and social decline. Is the human race really in danger—or is this another example of misplaced fear? Young unpacks what Scripture says about population, purpose, and God’s sovereignty over the future of mankind.

Then, biologist and The Riot and the Dance host Dr. Gordon Wilson explores a strange and fascinating case from Chernobyl, where wild dogs have survived—and even thrived—in one of the most radioactive places on Earth. Are these animals “evolving,” or simply adapting within the boundaries of God’s design? Wilson shows how the Creator built creatures with remarkable resilience, even in the harshest environments.

Finally, Dr. Steve Furber, a pioneer in computer engineering and one of the designers of the ARM processor, joins the program to discuss artificial intelligence and the looming “singularity.” He explains what this concept actually means, why it captures so much attention, and whether machines will ever truly surpass the human mind. Despite AI’s astonishing progress, Furber reminds us that no algorithm can replicate the soul, consciousness, or creativity God gave to humanity.

Also featured: a Kids Corner retelling the story of the Tower of Babel, a Genesis Science Minute exploring food as evidence of God’s goodness, and a Featured Resource—Information: The Key to Life by Dr. Werner Gitt, revealing how DNA itself points directly to a Designer.

This episode combines astronomy, anthropology, biology, and technology—showing once again that from the stars above to the code within, all creation points back to its Creator.

Next, apologist Bodie Hodge addresses how climate change is being taught in schools. Are children being equipped with science, or indoctrinated with fear? Hodge examines claims about CO2, rising seas, and climate alarmism, revealing how Scripture provides balance, context, and hope in a world often driven by environmental panic.

Then, geoscientist Dr. Stephen Taylor discusses new research identifying “gaps” in Earth’s rock record—stretches of missing time that challenge uniformitarian geology. Taylor explains why these discontinuities fit better with the biblical Flood than with slow-and-steady evolutionary models.

Finally, astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle weighs in on the “Black Hole Bounce” model, which suggests our universe began not with a bang but with a rebound inside a black hole. Lisle breaks down the theory in plain terms, evaluates whether it solves the Big Bang’s problems, and shows why the Bible’s creation account remains the most compelling explanation for our origins.

Also featured: a Kids Corner comparing moths and butterflies, a Genesis Science Minute on the wonder of breathing, and a Featured Resource—Thousands Not Billions by Dr. Don DeYoung—equipping believers to answer deep-time claims with cutting-edge research.

This episode ties together neuroscience, climate, geology, and cosmology—reminding us that whether in the mind, the earth, or the heavens, God’s truth stands firm.

Next, physicist and astronomer Dr. Don DeYoung examines fresh James Webb Space Telescope findings that have reignited debate over the Big Bang. Could the universe’s expansion be an illusion? DeYoung explains the flaws in redshift, why tired light theory is resurfacing, and how Christians should think about shifting cosmological models in light of God’s Word.

Then, Dr. Carl Werner turns to human evolution’s crumbling icons—focusing on Toumai, once hailed as the oldest human ancestor. Werner reveals exclusive evidence of hidden bones, falsified claims, and misrepresentations in museums worldwide, showing why the fossil record doesn’t support ape-to-man evolution but instead points back to biblical creation.

Finally, apologist and engineer Jay Seegert addresses a widely shared experiment where scientists inserted human DNA into a mouse and saw its brain grow 6% larger. Seegert explains what the study really showed, why bigger doesn’t equal smarter, and how fuzzy scientific language often sells evolution rather than truth.

Also featured: a Kids Corner on the one-of-a-kind platypus, a Genesis Science Minute on the beauty of fall leaves, and a Featured Resource—Inside Noah’s Ark: Why It Worked—which answers practical questions about how Noah’s Ark was engineered for survival.

This episode combines cutting-edge science and cultural debate with timeless biblical wisdom—reminding us that what is unseen is often the most real of all.

Then, Dr. Carl Werner, historian of evolutionary theory and author of Untold Stories of Human Evolution, joins us to uncover the uncomfortable truth: early evolutionary scientists were not the champions of unbiased inquiry they’re often portrayed to be. Werner reveals how bigotry and misinformation were spread under the guise of science—shaping education and society in ways few realize.

Next, geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins returns to take on a new claim: that human language evolved 135,000 years ago. Drawing from cutting-edge genetics, Dr. Tomkins explains why language is best understood through a biblical lens—starting with Adam and culminating in the confusion at Babel. He shows how genetic patterns actually align with post-Flood human dispersion, not evolutionary models.
