Is the human brain the product of undirected evolutionary processes? Or does the evidence of the brain itself point to a completely different origin?

Neuroscientist Dr Peter Line explores the extraordinary integrated complexity of the brain—arguing that it could never have arisen through mutation and selection alone. He also delves into the profound mind-brain problem—showing that this problem only exists if evolution is assumed to be true. But is evolution true? Can it explain the human brain?

Who was Cain’s wife? This age-old question challenges both biblical authority and scientific understanding. The answer reveals how genetics, mutations, and God’s progressive revelation work together in Scripture.

Close intermarriage wasn’t dangerous for early humans because they had few harmful mutations. As genetic damage accumulated over centuries, God eventually prohibited such marriages through Moses’ law—not changing His character, but protecting humanity from new dangers.

Dr Jonathan Sarfati explains how modern genetics actually supports biblical history, showing why early marriages were safe while later ones required divine boundaries for human flourishing.

Could cancer actually disprove evolution? This fascinating discussion explores how cellular protection systems pose serious challenges to evolutionary theory. Three sophisticated mechanisms guard us against cancer: tumor suppressor genes that trigger cell suicide, proto-oncogenes that control division rates, and error-correcting systems that fix DNA damage.

These complex systems must function perfectly from the start—they can’t evolve gradually. Mutations, supposedly evolution’s driving force, actually destroy rather than create. Dr Don Batten reveals how cancer research unexpectedly undermines the very foundation of evolutionary claims.

Science is all about reviewing data, hypothesizing, making predictions, and testing those predictions. If the prediction aren’t born out—if they don’t match reality—then the theory should be modified—or ultimately abandoned.

So, how well does evolution hold up as a theory, when judged by its predictions? Does it match the real world? Join plant biologist Dr Don Batten as he scrutinises five major predictions of evolution. Is evolution as ‘scientific’ as people are led to believe?

DNA is supposedly millions of years old, but can it really survive that long? The evidence suggests otherwise. From genetic entropy showing species can’t survive endless mutations, to ancient DNA breaking down too quickly in the ground, to mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam pointing to recent common ancestors — multiple lines of evidence challenge evolutionary timescales.

DNA barcoding reveals another puzzle: species across the animal kingdom appear to be roughly the same age, as if some major event reset life on Earth. Dr Robert Carter explores how genetics supports a biblical timeline.

How did Noah fit massive dinosaurs on the Ark? Where did all the food come from? What about waste management for thousands of animals?

Most people picture Noah’s Ark as a tiny bathtub with giraffes poking out the top. The biblical description reveals something drastically different—a colossal vessel measuring 450 feet long, stable enough to withstand 500-foot waves, and spacious enough for 102,000 sheep-sized animals.

Dr Jonathan Sarfati addresses these practical questions with engineering precision, explaining everything from ancient preservation techniques to the Ark’s box-like design that made it nearly impossible to capsize.

Two out of three teens are leaving the church after high school—a statistic that should alarm every Christian parent. But why are they walking away, and what can be done to prevent this exodus?

The root cause isn’t what most expect. While churches focus on entertainment and youth activities, the real issue lies in intellectual preparation. Students face evolutionary teaching daily but receive no scientific evidence supporting biblical creation. When faith meets academia, unprepared minds abandon belief.

A revealing campus survey shows the stark reality: students equipped with creation answers stay faithful, while thos...

Two genealogies of Jesus—one from Matthew, one from Luke—list different names. Why? And what does it mean for Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah? One approach suggests Matthew lists royal succession, not biology, while Luke follows a biological line through a different son of David. But a deeper dive reveals something even more intriguing.

Could legal adoption, Levirate marriage, and repentance after exile explain how Jesus inherited both David’s bloodline and right to the throne? Dr Robert Carter offers a reconstruction that makes sense of it all—and reinforces trust in the Bible’s reliability...

Impact craters exist across Earth and the moon, but what do they reveal about our planet’s history?

The theory of evolution is widely taught in schools, but what if students aren't learning what they think they are? A surprising sleight of hand occurs in science classrooms worldwide. Students learn about natural selection—a process that can be observed and tested—but are told they've learned about evolution itself. While natural selection removes genetic information, evolution requires gaining it.

What does it mean to be a man? Society offers conflicting answers, from outdated stereotypes to extremes of dominance or passivity. But what does the Bible say? Masculinity is more than appearances or achievements—it’s about integrity, humility, and servant leadership. A real man leads with compassion, exercises self-control, and strives to reflect the character of God.

Scripture shows us flawed men—David, Moses, Gideon—who still pursued righteousness. It’s a call to resilience, repentance, and faith. Jeff Benjamin shares how these timeless principles challenge and inspire men to live as God intended.

In this video Dr Robert Carter, a Ph.D. in coral reef ecology and genetics, explores the distinction between natural selection and evolution, and examines how the two are actually opposites. We dig into how natural selection is part of God’s design, and how when we see species adapt within created boundaries, we are seeing something fundamentally different from evolution. Topics covered include how epigenetics and “created diversity” fit into biblical creation, how natural selection reduces rather than increases genetic diversity, and the origins of the millions of species that we see on earth today.
