  <itunes:subtitle>How resilient can life really be, and what does that reveal about design in nature? In this episode we explore a remarkable microbe that can survive extreme conditions, then turn to the future of the International Space Station and the surprising spiritual curiosity emerging in Generation Z.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In this episode of The Genesis Science Report, David opens with a look at an extraordinary bacterium discovered in NASA clean rooms that can essentially “play dead” to survive extreme sterilization and environmental stress. Its ability to shut down and later revive challenges assumptions about how life survives and raises deeper questions about the sophistication built into even the smallest living systems.
Next, retired NASA astronaut Colonel Jeff Williams joins us to discuss the future of the International Space Station. With the station operating far beyond its original design life, Williams shares firsthand insight into how the ISS has held up, what risks come with extending its mission, and what retiring it could mean for the future of human space exploration.
Later, Christian speaker Brian Young examines a surprising cultural shift. While church attendance has declined for years, new data suggests Generation Z may be rediscovering faith in unexpected ways. Young helps unpack why belief may be becoming countercultural again and what opportunities this creates for meaningful conversations about biblical truth.
