"AI vs. Humanity: The Shocking Truth You’re Not Hearing" ft. Dr. Robert J. Marks
Episode 10 — AI vs. Humanity: The Shocking Truth You’re Not Hearing
Can artificial intelligence really outthink, outcreate, or even replace humanity? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Robert J. Marks—renowned AI expert and Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute—cuts through the hype, the fear, and the media spin to reveal the truth about what AI can (and cannot) do.
From Elon Musk’s dire warnings to the “Godfather of AI’s” bold predictions, we tackle the biggest claims about AI and ask the hard questions:
Is AI truly creative—or just a sophisticated copycat?Why do experts kee..."Why the ‘God of the Gaps’ Objection Misses the Point" ft. Dr. William Dembski
Is Intelligent Design really just “God of the Gaps”? Dr. William Dembski — mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and one of the most influential voices in the ID movement — says no. In this episode, he explains why that common objection completely misses the mark, how mathematics reveals design in nature, and why so many scientists stick to materialism despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
You’ll hear:
Why “God of the Gaps” is actually an argument from knowledgeThe difference between Intelligent Design and CreationismHow “specified complexity” helps detect designWhat to do when your faith is shaken in the science classroomWhet...
"DNA, Mutations, and Design: The Science Evolution Can’t Answer" ft. Dr. Berkley Gryder
Episode 8: DNA, Mutations, and Design – The Science Evolution Can’t Answer
Is DNA really just a product of random chance—or does it point to something far greater?
In this episode of The Science Dilemma, we sit down with Dr. Berkley Gryder, a chemist-turned-molecular biologist and computer scientist (PhD, Columbia University), to explore how the language of DNA, the limits of mutations, and the myth of “junk DNA” are reshaping the conversation about life’s origins.
You’ll discover:
Why DNA functions like a living supercomputer (and why Bill Gates agrees).How mutations are deg..."Top Atheists Use God to Prove Evolution?!" ft. Dr. Steve Dilley
Title:
Top Atheists Use God to Prove Evolution?! 🤯
Description:
Dr. Steve Dilley uncovers something wild: the two most popular pro-evolution books—written by outspoken atheists Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne—use theology to make their best arguments for evolution. And they contradict each other completely.
In this episode, we break down how these claims show up in college textbooks, how they impact students, and why asking two simple questions—“What’s the claim?” and “What’s the evidence?”—can change everything.
Perfect for middle and high school families, students, and youth leaders navigatin...
"A Princeton PhD Explains How Earth is Fine Tuned for Life & Discoverability" ft. Dr. Jay Richards
Title:
"The Privileged Planet: Why Earth Has the Best View in the Universe" ft. Dr. Jay Richards
Episode Summary:
Is Earth not just habitable—but purposefully positioned for scientific discovery? Dr. Jay Richards joins Allan CP to unpack the provocative ideas behind The Privileged Planet, the book he co-authored with Guillermo Gonzalez. They explore how eclipses, planetary alignment, and the very laws of physics may be whispering that we’re not here by accident—but by design.
From solar eclipses that unlock secrets of the universe to the rare cosmic alignments that allow...
"PhD in Evolutionary Biology Says DNA Replication Points to Design" ft. Dr. Jonathan McLatchie
Episode Title:
PhD in Evolutionary Biology Says DNA Replication Points to Design ft. Dr. Jonathan McLatchie
Episode Summary:
Is DNA replication an accident of evolution—or evidence of intelligent design? Dr. Jonathan McLatchie, a biologist and professor, joins Allan CP to reveal how the complexity of DNA replication poses a serious challenge to unguided evolutionary theory. From irreducible complexity to the encoded information in our cells, this episode builds a strong case for design in nature.

"Is the Mind Our Soul?" ft. Dr. Michael Egnor
Title: Is the Mind Our Soul? ft. Dr. Michael Egnor
Show Notes:
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Michael Egnor—a renowned neurosurgeon and author of The Immortal Mind—shares how 7,000 brain surgeries transformed his understanding of the human soul. Once a committed atheist and materialist, Dr. Egnor explains why modern neuroscience challenged his worldview and led him to believe that human reason and consciousness are not products of the brain alone.
We explore:
Why some patients with missing brain structures still function normallyWhat awake brain surgeries reveal about the mindThe difference between “eloquent”..."MIT and Duke Physicist Says the Universe Is Engineered" ft. Dr. Brian Miller
Episode 3 – MIT and Duke Physicist Says the Universe Is Engineered
In this episode, Dr. Brian Miller—a physicist with degrees from MIT and Duke—joins us to explore the overwhelming evidence that the universe is the product of design, not chance. From the fine-tuning of the laws of physics to the molecular machinery of a single cell, Dr. Miller walks us through how engineering principles show up everywhere in nature.
He shares how his scientific training led him through a season of doubt—and ultimately back to faith—and why understanding intelligent design doesn’t weaken your...
"Will AI Take Over Humanity?" ft. Dr. Robert J. Marks
Episode Title: Will AI Take Over Humanity?
Guest: Dr. Robert J. Marks – Professor of Engineering at Baylor University and Director of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence
Episode Summary:
In this eye-opening episode, Allan CP sits down with Dr. Robert J. Marks—one of the foremost voices in artificial intelligence and intelligent design—to separate AI fact from fiction. From AI churches to the myth of machine consciousness, they explore where today's technology is headed and why some claims are more science fiction than science.
Together, they dive into top...
"Is Chimp DNA and Human DNA Really a 99% Match?" ft. Dr. Casey Luskin
Summary:
In this episode of Science Dilemma, host Allan C.P. engages with Dr. Casey Luskin, a geologist and attorney, to discuss the controversial claim that humans share 99% of their DNA with chimpanzees. Dr. Luskin argues against this widely accepted statistic, presenting new research that suggests the actual genetic similarity is closer to 85-86%. The conversation explores the implications of this finding for the understanding of human origins, intelligent design, and the nature of scientific inquiry.
