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.

Then we continue our groundbreaking Age of Design series with Part 2, featuring renowned chemist Dr. James Tour. This episode dives into the first of five scientific facts that challenge naturalistic origin-of-life theories—beginning with the fundamental question of whether unguided chemistry can produce even the basic building blocks of DNA or RNA. Dr. Tour explains the immense hurdles: unstable sugars, the chirality problem, destructive environmental conditions, the need for enzymes, and the fact that nucleobases don’t spontaneously assemble into nucleotides. Far from supporting randomness, every discovery highlights extraordinary precision—pointing to intentional design rather than chemical accident.

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.
