Frog Hibernation
We have all been taught that frogs hibernate in the winter. But on today’s program, we’ll take a closer look and see that hibernation cannot be the result of mindless, purposeless evolution. Ref.: Science Digest, November, 1978, page 96. Photo: Frog – Pixabay.com
The Very Hairs of Your Head
What is it that the Bible tells us that God has counted on each one of us? Yes, it’s the number of hairs on our head. Why does our Creator do that? We’ll tell you why on today’s program. Ref.: Science Digest, June, 1979, page 71. Image: Hair braid – Pixabay.com

Bats Who Feed Trees
Did you know that the huge trees in a rain forest are usually hollow? You might then ask, how do nutrients get to the top of the trees? On today’s program, we’ll tell you about our Creator’s ingenious solution! Ref.: Science Digest, October, 1978, page 30. Photo: Fruit bats – Pixabay.com

A Community in the Air
Imagine finding an elevator while walking through a thick forest. You ride the elevator up 100 feet and then step out into another forest, filled with plants and animal life. Today’s program explores the rain forest canopy. Ref.: Science Digest, October, 1978, page 30. Photo: Rain forest trees – Pixabay.com

Complex—But No Evolution
Though evolutionists tell us that corals are among the earliest and simplest forms of life, corals are actually quite complex. For starters, just consider their poison-filled stingers! Learn more about coral on today’s program. REF.: What’s in a name. Science Digest, Feb., 1985. p. 87. Photo: Pillar coral. (PD)

Light Before the Sun
If the sun wasn’t created until Day Four of Creation Week, creationists are often asked what was the source of light before Day Four? This is the subject we’ll be dealing with on today’s program.

How Many Dinosaur Kinds Were There?
How many kinds of dinosaurs were there? On today’s program, we’ll look at how evolutionists would answer that question, and then we’ll answer this question from the standpoint of scientists who believe the Bible.

Exploding Stars Destroy Life on Earth?
Be on your guard when you see or hear phrases like “studies show”. Why? Because phrases like that are designed to CONCEAL the truth rather than to reveal it. Ref: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, News Bureau. “Exploding stars may have caused mass extinction on Earth, study shows.” ScienceDaily, 18 August 2020. .

How Did the Wooly Rhino Die
Would you be shocked to hear that on today’s program we agree with evolutionary scientists about climate change? Unthinkable, you say? No, not when it comes to what led to the extinction of the Siberian woolly rhinoceros. Ref: Cell Press. “Ancient genomes suggest woolly rhinos went extinct due to climate change, not overhunting.” ScienceDaily, 13 August 2020. . Image: Woolly rhino and mammoths, CC BY-SA 2.5 Generic.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Evolutionists say that evolution happens very slowly over a long period of time. But now, some of them are agreeing with creationists in a catastrophic event followed by rapid speciation. Find out more from our program today. Ref: University of Lincoln. “New research reveals effect of global warming on Greenland ice melt.” ScienceDaily, 17 August 2020. .

A Flood of Flood Legends
If the worldwide flood of Noah’s time actually happened, we would expect there to be a flood of flood legends from all over the world. As you’ll learn from today's program, that’s exactly what we DO find! Photo: Walterfall by Simon Berger – Pixabay.com

Those Amazing Ants
It has been estimated that there are more than 10 million billion ants on our planet. Why would God want there to be so many ants? That’s a question we'll answer on today’s program. Photo: Ant by Josch – Pixabay.com

Scientists Question Age of Universe
On today’s program we look at the age of the universe. But rather than using the dates found in science textbooks, we’ll be looking at the universe itself through high-resolution cameras. Photo: Milky Way – Pexel – Pixaby.com

Listening to Plants
Did you know that plants cry out when they need attention, such as when they want water? You can’t hear them, but plants really do make a fuss. Find out about noisy plants on today's program. Photo: Corn by couleur -Pixabay.com

Baby Immunizes Mother
Why doesn’t the immune system of pregnant women reject her unborn child as foreign tissue, like it would be expected to do? As our program's host will explains – the baby’s father has a lot to do with it! Photo: Baby and Mom Hands – Pixabay.com

Moths Poison Eggs

Life that Can’t Exist
Deep below the ocean’s surface are hot water vents where the temperature reaches as high as 700 degrees. And yet, guess what scientists have found in such an inhospitable environment? That's why we will tell you on today’s program. Photo: Champagne vent white smokers – PD

Self-Centered Ants
On today’s program, we introduce you to some very bizarre ants that make their living by plundering the nests of other species and making slaves of their captives! Find out more about slave-making ants. Photo: Slaves and slave maker ant by Adrian A. Smith-CCA 2.5

Mystery of the Missing Neutrinos
If the sun’s energy is produced by nuclear forces, we would expect the sun to turn out a large number of neutrinos … but most of them are missing. How come? That’s the mystery our program will be unraveling today. Picture: Sun – Pixabay.com

Canaanite Golden Calf Discovered
On today’s program, learn about a golden calf discovered in the ancient city of Ashkelon. No, it’s not THE golden calf we read about in the Bible, but this discovery is an important one nevertheless. Photo: Golden Calf – Pixabay.com

On today’s program, we introduce you to computer-controlled robot bees that are actually able to communicate with living honeybees in a language they can understand! Photo: Bees – Pixabay.com

Confused About the Red Panda
On today's program, we'll introduce you to the Red Panda. Though they are easy to take care of in zoos, they are quite hard to classify. That's because they are like pandas in some ways and bears in another. Ref: Encyclopaedia Britannica, , accessed 8/3/2020. Image: CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported.

Why Do We Age?
Until the Fountain of Youth is found, aging is a reminder that we will all die someday. But why do we age? And can the aging process be reversed? Spend the next two minutes of your life to get the answers on today's program. Image: An elderly man, photograph by Ahmet Demirel, released to Public Domain.

Fireflies
Some people call them fireflies. Others call them lightning bugs. Whatever you call these beetles, they put on a light show made possible, not from evolution but from the Father of Lights. We'll shed light on bioluminescence during today's program. Image: Emmanuelm at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported. .

Warning: Solar Storm
Have you ever heard of the Carrington Event? Most people haven't, so today's program will make you just a little smarter than everyone else in the room. Here's a hint. It has to do with a storm on the sun. Image: Similar solar event observed 1999, NASA, Public Domain image.

Persevering in the Search for Life
One of the main purposes of NASA's Perseverance mission to Mars is to collect oxygen to see if the Martian atmosphere can support human life. On today's program, find out what they're REALLY hoping to find. Image: Artist’s impression of Perseverance on Mars, NASA, Public Domain image.

Ingenuity on Mars

Scientist Sees Planets with Very Large Telescope
If star gazing is your hobby, you know that the larger and more expensive your telescope, the better. But we doubt you'll ever be able to afford the Very Large Telescope we'll tell you about on today's program. Image: ESO image, from VLT; CC BY-SA 4.0 International.

Can We Mix Fabrics?
When we wear clothes made of different fabrics, are we sinning? After all, the mixing of fabrics was forbidden by God in two books of the Old Testament. That is the topic we'll be exploring on today's program. Image: Flax flowers, CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported.

Butterflies and Time Machines
Today's program is based on the fascinating premise of time travel found in a well-known short story by science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury. Image: Shutterstock images, licensed to and edited by the author.

Talk About Human Evolution
Everyone today is well aware of what is known as fake news. The word "fake" can also be applied to science news, especially in the area of news about evolution. Find out more on how you are being misled on today's program. Image: Shutterstock, licensed to author.

Are Humans Evolving?
Oh no, said the scientist. Human evolution has ceased! Not so, said other scientists. Humans continue to evolve. On today's program, our host will tells you why they disagree with one another … and why they're both wrong. Image: Shutterstock, licensed to author.

The Afterglow of Creation?
When scientists have questions they want to answer, they collect as much data as they feel is necessary. Unfortunately, they leave out the most important data of all – the data found in the Bible. Find out more on today's program. Image: Popular diagram of the Big Bang. NASA, Public Domain.

Cosmic Arguments Over Age
When scientists disagree with each other about how long ago the Big Bang took place, we prefer to keep from taking sides. After all, both sides are off to the tune of billions of years. Find out more on today's program. Image: Map of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. NASA, Public Domain.

Winged Troops
The members of a honey bee hive all have jobs to do. On today's program we'll take a look at the "soldier" bees who protect the hive from intruders.

Making Scents of Smells
How many different scents do you think your nose is able to smell? The answer is about 10,000. How does your nose tell the difference between a rose and a skunk? Until only recently, scientists really weren’t sure.
