Butterfly metamorphosis is far more than a cute nature story. The caterpillar‑to‑butterfly transformation, the “liquid soup” inside the chrysalis, and the precise genetic programming all challenge blind evolution and point to intelligent design.

In this Faith & Science episode, Kaysie Vokurka talks with creation scientist and author Dr John Ashton about what really happens when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly — and why this dramatic change is powerful evidence for a Creator.

You’ll hear about:
• How the code for both caterpillar and butterfly is already written in the egg
• Why a “half‑developed” butterfly would die, not slowly evolve
• The role of dormant cells and enzymes that switch on at just the right time• Why even expert chemists struggle to copy these processes in the lab
• What fossils reveal about butterflies appearing fully formed

If you’ve ever watched a butterfly emerge and wondered “How is that even possible?”, this episode will give you a deeper look at the science behind metamorphosis — and what it suggests about purpose and design in nature.

Are the redundant systems in the human body just a coincidence, or powerful evidence of intelligent design? In this Faith & Science episode we explore biological redundancy, creation science, and design in nature.
From the Cori cycle in your muscles to the Circle of Willis in your brain, your body is filled with built‑in backup systems that keep you alive when things go wrong. Are these life‑saving redundancies really the product of blind mutations and natural selection – or do they point to a purposeful Creator?

Join Kaysie as she talks with a scientist about:
• How the Cori cycle lets your muscles keep working when oxygen is low
• Why the Circle of Willis protects your brain if a blood vessel is blocked
• Redundant organs like two kidneys and two lungs – and what happens if you lose one
• The liver’s amazing regenerative ability and what that suggests about design
• Brain plasticity and how other regions can take over after injury
• Symmetry, coordinated development, and complex biochemical pathways
• Whether random mutations can realistically build these integrated backup systems

If you’re curious about the intersection of faith and science, this conversation will help you think more deeply about how your body works – and what that might say about its Designer.

How does the “code of life” point to a Creator? In this Faith & Science episode, we explore DNA as a sophisticated information system, the limits of random mutation, and what leading chemists say about origin of life.

DNA is often called the “code of life” – but just how advanced is this code compared to human technology? In this conversation, Kaysie Vokurka talks with scientist and author Dr John Ashton about why DNA looks far more like engineered information than an accident of chemistry.

Together they discuss:
• Why DNA is a digital code vastly more complex than computer software
• Why the chemical reactions needed to build and read DNA only occur inside living cells
• The “chicken and egg” problem of DNA and the ribosome – a built‑in code reader
• Why known mutations only modify existing genetic information instead of creating brand‑new code
• How protein folding, chirality and 3D shape make “chance assembly” incredibly unlikely
• Why many see DNA as powerful evidence for an intelligent Creator, not blind processes

If you’re curious about the intersection of science, information, and faith – and want a calm, thoughtful look at DNA and origins – this episode is for you.
