Are these laws merely human conventions, or do they point to something far deeper? David unpacks why logic cannot be explained by material processes alone and how its universality, immateriality, and unchanging nature point directly to the God who created an ordered universe. Even reasoning itself becomes evidence of design. Next, world-renowned engineering professor Dr. Andy McIntosh joins the program to explore the astonishing design of the human brain. Far more sophisticated than any computer system ever built, the brain operates through a network of chemical and electrical “circuits” that enable memory, language, creativity, and abstract thought. Dr. McIntosh explains how these systems couldn’t arise gradually through natural selection—but instead reflect purposeful engineering. From information processing to irreducibly complex neural pathways, the brain displays a level of ingenuity that mirrors the mind of a Creator. Finally, genomic researcher Dr. Jeff Tomkins addresses a troubling trend emerging from Silicon Valley: embryo screening for predicted IQ. With tech executives reportedly paying tens of thousands of dollars to select embryos with preferred traits, a new frontier of human customization is rapidly unfolding. Dr. Tomkins explains why IQ prediction from genetics is scientifically unreliable, why humans cannot be reduced to data points, and how attempts to “design” intelligence misunderstand the complexity of God’s design for life. He also examines the ethical dangers of treating children like products—and contrasts this attitude with the biblical truth that human worth is inherent, not engineered. Also featured: • A Kids Corner spotlighting the clever engineering of real-life shape-shifting animals • A Genesis Science Minute revealing how glaciers and pressure can fracture mighty rocks • A Featured Resource equipping viewers to engage with Scripture’s claims about creation • Ministry updates and a fresh look at God’s handiwork in the natural world This episode bridges logic, neuroscience, genetics, and ethics—reminding us that from our thoughts to our DNA, every part of creation testifies to intentional, purposeful design.

From embryo selection to CRISPR gene editing, science is rapidly approaching the ability to engineer “designer babies.” David examines what this means for human dignity, the sanctity of life, and the biblical truth that we are created in God’s image. Through Scripture and history, he shows how this push for genetic “perfection” echoes the dark legacy of eugenics—and why true wisdom begins not in the lab, but in submission to our Creator. Next, Dr. Carl Werner joins the program to uncover one of the most astonishing stories in modern science: how bones from monkeys, dolphins, and even dogs were misidentified and presented as human ancestors. Drawing from years of first-hand research, museum photography, and interviews with evolutionary experts, Dr. Werner exposes how human evolution displays have been built on flawed or fabricated evidence—and why the real story points back to humanity’s special creation. Finally, wildlife expert Michael Maughon returns to the studio for another hands-on look at the incredible diversity of God’s creatures. From intricate design to instinctive behavior, Maughon reveals how animals reflect both beauty and purpose in creation—reminding us that even the smallest details of nature proclaim a brilliant Designer. Also featured: a Kids Corner on spacewalk gloves and the engineering marvels that mirror God’s handiwork, a Genesis Science Minute exploring the wonders of the Ozarks, and a Featured Resource—How Do We Know the Bible Is True? by Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge, offering biblical answers to questions about faith, science, and Scripture. This milestone episode bridges bioethics, paleontology, and zoology—underscoring that when science and Scripture meet, truth always confirms the Creator’s design.
