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.
