In Episode 52 of The Genesis Science Report, David Rives opens with a gripping look at one of the most volatile regions on Earth—the Pacific Ring of Fire. From historic mega-eruptions like Krakatoa to devastating quakes such as the 2011 Tōhoku disaster, David walks through the raw power beneath our feet and explains why the often-ignored Cascadia Subduction Zone may pose one of the greatest natural threats to North America today. Yet amid the shaking ground, Scripture reminds us that the Earth is the Lord’s—and its power points back to His design, not chaos.
Next, we launch a groundbreaking new multi-episode series: Age of Design. World-renowned chemist Dr. James Tour joins us for the debut installment to expose the scientific cracks in origin-of-life research. From the impossible complexity of the cell to the information-rich structure of DNA, Dr. Tour explains why every major discovery since 1931 has pushed science further away from chance origins and closer toward design. This conversation lays the foundation for an ongoing series exploring the evidence that we are intentionally, purposefully made.
Finally, engineer Professor Andy McIntosh joins David in-studio to explore the growing field of biomimicry—where human engineers copy systems already perfected in nature. Whether it’s termite mounds inspiring self-cooling architecture, beetles informing propulsion systems, or geckos shaping robotics, McIntosh explains why the act of copying nature only makes sense if nature was designed in the first place. Biomimicry isn’t just clever engineering—it’s a quiet testimony to the Creator’s brilliance.
Also featured: a Kids Corner on the scallop—an unexpected swimmer with more than 200 eyes, a Genesis Science Minute highlighting the renewal system built into human skin, and a Featured Resource—The Rocks Cry Out 9-DVD series, offering a powerful visual tour through the science that confirms Genesis.
This episode blends geology, chemistry, engineering, and Scripture—showing that from earthquakes to DNA, creation continually reveals the mind of its Designer.
