Along the way, we ask whether the evidence fits better with design than with randomness. 58:00 no In this episode of The Genesis Science Report, we begin by examining proteins, the essential molecules that make life possible. New research is revealing just how precise and interconnected these systems are, reinforcing the idea that life operates according to an intentional blueprint rather than unguided processes. Next, John Mackay joins us to separate fact from fiction surrounding the Great Barrier Reef. Drawing from firsthand field experience, he explains why coral growth and recovery are often misrepresented in climate headlines and why real world observations tell a very different story about the reef’s resilience. Later, physicist Dr. Eric Hedin takes us into the realm of cosmology, where discoveries about the universe’s beginning, fine tuning, and mysterious forces like dark matter continue to point beyond material explanations. He explains why modern science has not eliminated the need for a Creator, but has made that conclusion harder to avoid. Also featured are a Kids Corner on the first Bible printed in North America, a Genesis Science Q and A on the Ice Age, a Genesis Science Minute highlighting design in the human body, a Heavens Declare segment on the science of smiling, and a Ministry Report with updates from the Wonders Center and Science Museum. Together, this episode highlights how careful observation and honest science consistently point back to a world designed with purpose and meaning.

]]> S02 Ep032 | Playing God? The Shocking Science Behind Extinct Species Resurrection https://gsr.fireside.fm/10 dfada25d-fc5e-4159-868f-34e07fea6b24 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 18:00:00 -0400 David Rives Ministries full David Rives Ministries Should we resurrect extinct animals? David Rives tackles the ethical dilemmas behind de-extinction technology. Then, wildlife educator Michael Maughon brings live creatures into the studio, and Dr. Stuart Burgess reveals how bird wings are teaching engineers to solve modern aviation challenges. 58:29 no In Episode 32 of The Genesis Science Report, we begin with a bold question at the crossroads of science and ethics: Should we bring extinct animals back to life? David Rives examines the recent efforts to revive the dire wolf using genetic engineering, exploring the scientific achievements—and the deep moral and theological questions—surrounding de-extinction. Next, wildlife educator and creation advocate Michael Maughon joins us for a hands-on segment featuring live animals in the studio. From scales to fur, Michael shows how the intricate designs of God’s creatures testify to brilliant, intentional craftsmanship. Finally, Dr. Stuart Burgess, professor of engineering design at Bristol and Liberty University, explains how scientists are studying bird wings to improve aircraft. Recent research shows how features like covert feathers naturally prevent stalling—something engineers are still trying to replicate. Dr. Burgess demonstrates why even our best human designs can’t match the complexity and efficiency of what God has built into creation. Also in this episode: a Kids Corner on the strange and diverse world of starfish, a Genesis Science Minute on Darwin’s forgotten flaws, and a Featured Resource unpacking the truth about the Ice Age from a biblical perspective. This episode blends cutting-edge science with timeless truths—revealing how both innovation and nature point us back to the Creator. de-extinction, dire wolf, CRISPR, genetic engineering, creation science, intelligent design, live animals, wildlife education, bird flight, aircraft design, Stuart Burgess, Michael Maughon, starfish, biblical worldview, Genesis, Ice Age, fossils, ethical science, theology and science, David Rives In Episode 32 of The Genesis Science Report, we begin with a bold question at the crossroads of science and ethics: Should we bring extinct animals back to life?
