Next, we launch a groundbreaking new multi-episode series: Age of Design. World-renowned chemist Dr. James Tour joins us for the debut installment to expose the scientific cracks in origin-of-life research. From the impossible complexity of the cell to the information-rich structure of DNA, Dr. Tour explains why every major discovery since 1931 has pushed science further away from chance origins and closer toward design. This conversation lays the foundation for an ongoing series exploring the evidence that we are intentionally, purposefully made.

Finally, engineer Professor Andy McIntosh joins David in-studio to explore the growing field of biomimicry—where human engineers copy systems already perfected in nature. Whether it’s termite mounds inspiring self-cooling architecture, beetles informing propulsion systems, or geckos shaping robotics, McIntosh explains why the act of copying nature only makes sense if nature was designed in the first place. Biomimicry isn’t just clever engineering—it’s a quiet testimony to the Creator’s brilliance.

Also featured: a Kids Corner on the scallop—an unexpected swimmer with more than 200 eyes, a Genesis Science Minute highlighting the renewal system built into human skin, and a Featured Resource—The Rocks Cry Out 9-DVD series, offering a powerful visual tour through the science that confirms Genesis.

This episode blends geology, chemistry, engineering, and Scripture—showing that from earthquakes to DNA, creation continually reveals the mind of its Designer.

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.

Also featured: a Kids Corner highlighting the Venus’ Flower Basket—an ocean sponge made of glass that engineers are studying for its perfect structural design, a Genesis Science Minute exploring the incredible timing of the cicada’s life cycle, and a Featured Resource—The Design and Complexity of the Cell by Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins, revealing how life’s smallest systems proclaim a Designer.

This episode brings together physics, genetics, geology, and astronomy—all revealing the same truth: from the quantum world to the vast cosmos, creation bears the unmistakable fingerprints of God.
