    Join astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink and Dr. Latha Christie, senior scientist with the government of India, as they discuss theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

    Many skeptics claim that there is no scientific evidence for God, and many Christians claim the scientific evidence for God is overwhelming. Perhaps the conflict doesn’t reside in the science but in the worldview that we bring to account for the scientific data. Join us in this episode as a former skeptic describes aspects of her journey from skepticism to seeing abundant scientific evidence for the truth of Christianity.

    Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

    A research team discovered that most life on Earth came from explosive bursts of species diversification, known as adaptive radiations. In this episode, Fuz Rana explains how this insight supports RTB’s creation model for life’s history and discusses why it challenges materialistic evolution.

    Jeff Zweerink explains how the origin of life on Earth continues to defy a naturalistic explanation. Rather than simply throw up our hands and say, “God did it!”, he invites us to investigate what science can say about knowledge gaps and how we might address them. More significantly, by understanding these challenges, Christians can bring a biblical understanding of how God works in creation to propose fruitful scientific models—models that not only respect Scripture but also help us make meaningful progress in understanding the origin of life.

    Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Hugh Ross as they discuss DNA survival in fossils and how mussels can help civilization. These discoveries carry theological and philosophical implications alluding to the reality of God’s existence.

    Scientists have discovered that a small region of the human genome, dubbed HAR123, is unique in humans compared to other mammals, including chimpanzees. This sequence impacts neural development and explains humans’ unique capacity for cognitive flexibility. In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana explains how this discovery supports the biblical view of human nature and identity.

    Dates of oxygen isotope changes in Earth’s oldest zircons correlate with times our solar system crossed the Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus spiral arms. This correlation implies that dense interstellar clouds of gas and dust in those spiral arms disturbed the Oort Cloud, sending giant comets toward Earth. Their impacts may have stirred Earth’s interior, speeding up plate tectonics and the supercontinent cycle, thus preparing Earth more quickly for humans and global civilization.
