Next, Dr. Rob Stadler joins us to explore how living cells harness energy without destroying themselves. He explains why raw energy like heat or radiation is destructive unless carefully controlled, and why the complex machinery required to manage energy in life could not have developed gradually.

Later, we turn to a deeper question with science writer David Coppedge as we ask, where is heaven? Drawing from Scripture, physics, and dimensional thinking, the conversation explores whether heaven exists beyond our observable universe and why modern science does not rule out a reality beyond what we can see.

Also featured in this episode are a Kids Corner on ocean creatures found both living and fossilized, a Genesis Science Q and A on the meaning of “formless and void” in Genesis, a Genesis Science Minute highlighting the role of bumblebees, and a Ministry Report with upcoming events at the Wonders Center and Science Museum.

Together, these discussions point to a world that is carefully ordered and a Creator who stands both above it and near to us.

Then, Dr. Paul Nelson, philosopher of biology and Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, joins us to examine a new scientific claim: that intelligent life is inevitable given enough time. Dr. Nelson unpacks the flaws in this “hard steps” model of evolution and shows why—even with updated theories—the evidence points more clearly to intelligent design, not random chance.

Finally, David Coppedge, former NASA systems engineer and science journalist, tackles a deep theological and scientific question: How can God resurrect bodies that have turned to dust? Drawing from his background in system backups and information theory, Coppedge reveals why identity is rooted in information, not atoms—and why resurrection is a promise we can believe with confidence.

Also featured: a Kids Corner on the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a Genesis Science Minute separating astronomy from astrology, and a Featured Resource highlighting global flood legends that support the biblical narrative.

This episode connects new scientific frontiers to ancient biblical truths—affirming that the God who created the heavens still holds every detail in His hands.

Next, wildlife educator Michael Maughon is back with another round of live animal demonstrations. Through claws, scales, and surprising adaptations, Michael showcases the brilliant designs God placed into each creature—reminding us that nature points directly to the Creator.

Finally, science journalist David Coppedge tackles a profound theological question: How can God hear billions of prayers at once? Using analogies from computer science and his own experience at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Coppedge helps bridge science and faith to reveal why God’s omnipotence makes every prayer personal.

Also featured: a Kids Corner on the giant sauropods, a Genesis Science Minute asking where you place your faith, and a Featured Resource offering a biblical guide to North American dinosaurs.

This episode blends scientific integrity, live animal encounters, and deep theological reflection—unpacking truth from every angle.
