Join biochemists Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Sy Garte as they discuss how modern biology can strengthen faith rather than divide Christians.

Disunity in the church over evolution is unnecessary. Today’s biology goes far beyond the old neo-Darwinian model of random mutations and natural selection. Concepts like “cognition-based evolution” and “evolution on purpose” are becoming mai...

Join astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink and professor of nutrition Dr. Jim Painter as they discuss the science and spiritual insights behind fasting.

Fasting is more than a strategy for weight loss—it also offers several health benefits that go beyond the scale. When practiced wisely, fasting can improve insulin sensitivity, support better blood sugar control, and encourage the bo...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and professor of nutrition Dr. Jim Painter as they discuss how your diet shapes your body, mind, and spirit.

Foods that influence your gut microbiome can noticeably affect how you feel both physically and emotionally. For example, fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains feed beneficial bacteria, which produce short-chain f...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and senior consultant in rehabilitation medicine, Dr. Uditha Jayatunga, as they discuss one of evolution’s biggest claims: macroevolution.

In this presentation, Dr. Jayatunga challenges the foundational role of macroevolution in explaining the evolutionary tree of life. Many biologists view macroevolution as a natural extension of microevolu...

Join astrophysicists Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss what ocean waves reveal about God’s design, and how artificial intelligence raises questions about humanity’s future.

Multiyear measurements show that ocean wave breaking on coastlines and associated bubble bursting are one of the largest sources of atmospheric aerosols. This sea spray explains fog formation, c...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and physics professor Eric Hedin as they discuss new scientific discoveries with theological and philosophical implications alluding to the reality of God’s existence.

In exploring the interaction between spirit and matter, intelligent design advocates aim to construct a framework for understanding how God, as a metaphysical designer, might ...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Christian apologist Steve Anonsen as they explore the real story of Galileo Galilei, beyond the myth of a lone hero battling the church.

Galileo built on centuries of Christian scholarship devoted to rethinking the solar system, physics, and the broader cosmos. His ardent defense of Copernican heliocentrism and his conflict with the church highlight both the brilliance and the limitations of...

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

Who were the Neanderthals? How do they fit into the biblical account of human origins? Were they image-bearers like us? Or were they “soulish” animals? In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana...

Join astrophysicists Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Researchers have reconstructed ancient lake temperatures in the Qaidam Basin (western China)to show that either 11.0 or 7.6 million years ago, the northern Tibetan Plateau rose by 1,650 or 1,525 meters in less than 500,000 years. Hu...

Join biochemists Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Richard Gunasekera, research professor of nanomedicine and biochemistry at Biola University, as they discuss scientific discoveries with philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Dr. Richard Gunasekera explores advances in nanomedicine, including nanomachines that kill antibiotic-resistant microbes, dendri...

Researchers from China recently determined the identity of a hominin dubbed 'Dragon Man' that had been classified as a distinct species called Homo longi. However, new evidence places them...

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

A recent MIT study determined that the composition of cell membranes dynamically adjusts so that cells maintain a constant surface area-to-volume ratio. In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana describes this work and explores the desig...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Christian philosopher and apologist Tricia Scribner, as they discuss theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Theistic evolution is increasingly popular among Christians, and it’s not surprising. Theistic evolutionists argue that their origins view reconciles the Christian faith with science. But what if affirming theis...

Join astrophysicists Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

The early universe may produce dark photon dark matter via inflation fluctuations, parametric resonances, or the decay of cosmic strings. The Sun’s vast plasma, extending out to Earth’s orbit, yields the best environment for detecting dark photon...
