Current Topics in Science

Can evolution alone explain the origin of life’s most complex functions? In this episode of Current Topics in Science, Dr. Christopher Sernaqué sits down with Dr. Douglas Axe—biochemist, author, and founder of the Biologic Institute—to explore Stylus, a groundbreaking simulation that challenges the limits of Darwinian theory. Discover how this model uses Chinese characters to mimic protein evolution and what it reveals about design, complexity, and the future of origins science.

In this episode of Current Topics in Science, Dr. Christopher Sernaque interviews renowned creation researcher Paul Garner to explore the state of Creationism in 2025 and why it still matters. From the legacy of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" to breakthroughs in flood geology, baraminology, and catastrophic plate tectonics, this conversation dives deep into whether Young-Earth Creationism is advancing science or resisting it. Garner, a Fellow of the Geological Society of London and author of The New Creationism, answers critics head-on and shares how his research has strengthened his walk with Christ. If you've ever wondered whether biblical faith and scientific inquiry can coexist, or how Creationists should respond to cultural hostility, this is an episode you can't afford to miss. Watch now—because the truth still matters.

After one of my closest friends passed away, I decided to do something he always encouraged me to try—interview myself. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, I open up about grief, faith, psychology, and why I still believe in God, even when life hurts. Along the way, I challenge Freud’s claims, explore how the brain reflects intelligent design, and share how walking through pain taught me to love deeper. If you’ve ever wrestled with loss or faith, I made this for you.

Are We Looking at the End of Atheism? Dr. Christopher Sernaque sits down with Otangelo Grassio, an advocate for Intelligent Design, to break down the biggest questions in science and faith! In the final episode of Current Topics in Science Season 6, we dive deep into his latest book, Unraveling the Theistic Worldview, tackling Bayesian probability, the limits of naturalism, and why the demand for definitive proof of God might be a trap! Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion that could change the way you see science forever! Watch now and decide for yourself!

Are you ready for a BIRTHDAY PARTY? Quantum Physics has now reached the ripe old age of 100, but what does quantum science mean? The implications will leave you shaken. All the evidence we have from Quantum Mechanics points to the Trinity! Modern physics echoes the very words of Genesis. And what about Sir Isaac Newton? Some call Newton, the Father of Modern Science, but they also brand him a heretic. Others call him a defender of the Trinity. I argue his own writings reveal the shocking truth. This is not just another debate. This is history, science, and faith colliding in ways that will change how you see reality itself. Don't miss a second. Watch now!

Christians *need* to be aware of the issues in this video before their family or friends get TRAPPED in the flat-earth worldview.

Evolutionary theory, is it going extinct? Only the evidence can tell. That evidence would include brand new dinosaur fossil finds, including more discoveries of dinosaur soft-tissue tissue, over 100 to be exact. That's right there are multiple evidences of soft-tissue, but that's not all. In this interview, besides answering objections to soft tissue finds, Dr. Thomas reviews the new discovery of a dinosaur being attacked by a mammal! This interview has numerous current topics featured in it, so it is required viewing for those who want to keep up with current topics in science!

ZOMBIES are real! They are also evidence for Creation. Yes, so called "Zombie" bacteria and viruses have been found and some of them have been dated to being 8 million years in age! Is that the case, or does the evidence show that these Zombies are actually God's Creation? Find out how these Zombie bugs are evidence for the Creation model!

With the new film on the atom bomb in theaters now, it only makes sense to interview a nuclear physicist. Dr. Clausen is that nuclear physicist and he is talking about the latest ideas in physic, including a possible fifth force of the universe! What does this mean for believers in God? Dr. Clausen discusses the fine tuning of the universe and life; which points to the reality of Intelligent Design. You'll not want to miss this one!

Space-traveling ants? Any engineer knows a good blueprint when they see one; the design of the ant is no exception. Ants are capable of marvelous feats, including retooling their work process in space!!! NASA sent ants to space to study how they would coordinate themselves and the results were incredible! Back here on Earth, leaf-cutter ants and Sahara ants have their own incredible designs and are capable of amazing feats of strength and navigation! If you want to do what Solomon says and "Consider the ant" this is the video for you!

The undercover researcher is back and he has even more peer-reviewed evidence that the flagellum was designed. Working under the pseudonym David Thomas, he is now summarizing the results of his research here on Current Topics in Science in less than 10 questions!

It doesn't get any more current than this episode of Current Topics in Science!

Dr. James Tour took part in a DEBATE this may at Rice University. However, was the evidence he presented accurate? In this interview, Dr. Miller looks at the evidence presented by Dave Farina and the evidence presented by Dr. Tour and evaluates who's case was left standing when the dust settled! Watch this debate review!

The debate has gone viral, but was Dr. James Tour right? He presented several challenges to origin of life theories, and described how these challenges point to utter cluelessness on the matter of how abiogenesis happened. Dr. Sarfati, a PhD chemist who has published in the journal Nature, will be reviewing the points Dr. Tour raised in the debate. He also has evidence of his own he believes needs to be brought into the discussion. If you can't handle the truth, this video is not for you!

God is not needed! Or, at least that is what Professor Stephen Hawking has to say. He has theories of gravity and time that he believes render God, not just unnecessary, but impossible! Dr. Ken Caviness addresses the arguments of Hawking and explores various "theories of everything." If you are not into learning, this video is not for you! If you are eager to learn something new, check out what Dr. Caviness has to say!

Science vs Scientism is a discussion that needs to be be had in the origins debate. All sides each claim that the "science" is clearly on their side, but what exactly does "science" mean? Ben, whose graduate degree is in the relationship between science and faith, is here to explain the difference between science and scientism, dispel revisionist history myths about science, and show which worldviews are compatible with science. Has atheism hijacked science? Find out in this episode of Current Topics in Science!

This interview explores evidence most people involved in the origins debate don't get the chance to hear. He delves into the realms of mathematics and explores the science of computers! Evolution is rendered false by proof by contradiction! Explore these facts and have your mind and heart touched too!

Dr. Winston Ewert had his faith challenged. He was raised in a Christian home, with a keen scientific interest, and was told to read Professor Dawkins' book, "The Blind Watchmaker" where Dawkins uses a computer algorithm to simulate evolution. Dr. Ewert, an expert in computers himself, reviews the evolutionary computer algorithms, and explains computer algorithms that make testable predictions for ID that have already been published. This interview answers objections and so much more!

He did not believe in God. Considering himself an atheist, Dr. Miller saw no evidence for God and believed the idea of God was incoherent. However, after asking God to reveal Himself to Him, Dr. Miller experiences God in amazing ways. Dr. Miller shares amazing evidence as to why the laws of thermodynamics point to an Intelligent Designer and as to why life could not have arisen by chance. This is not one to miss!

At one point he did not believe in God, let alone think Genesis was trustworthy. That all changed once he was exposed to the evidence from physics for God's existence and for the historicity of Genesis. Dr. Russell Humphreys, in this interview, shares his testimony, reviews his past predictions, and unveils some new predictions for the Young-Earth model. This is an interview you won't want to miss!

His faith was challenged. As an atheist, he was skeptical of the claims of Christianity and his worldview had no room for God. That all changed when he was presented with incredible evidence of design in physics and in life. He obtained his Ph.D. in Complex System Physics and, now, Dr. Miller shares the exciting discoveries and testable predictions that led him to embrace the scientific theory of intelligent design. This a fascinating and interesting first interview in a three-part series that you won't want to miss!

All the dinosaur species have gone extinct...or have they? While this fish may not be a dinosaur, it is said to have swam the sea at the same time they roamed the Earth. Not knowing about this discovery will cost valuable scientific insight; especially with leading evolutionists like Stephen Gould commenting that discoveries of living fossils are a major problem for evolution theory. So, are you ready to investigate this living fossil?

Carl Sagan said that we are all just stardust. Lawrence Krauss takes it a step further and says that we should thank the stars, not Jesus, for our existence. Are we to believe them? Jay Seegert, who has a degree in engineering and in physics, is covering the latest research from the JWST, the big bang, string theory, the god particle theory, and more as he defends Christ Jesus and refutes the secular paradigm; you don't want to miss this!

Ben Kissling, a biochemist, is going over the arguments that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, puts forward for evolution. He offers a perspective on Dr. Micheal Behe, the origins discussion, and how Christians should engage in debate. This is not one to miss!

Everyone makes mistakes...but theory of evolution and its often-accompanying philosophies really take the cake! This video will be covering the top 5 mistakes that come up in the origins debate!0:00 Intro 2:25 Mistake 1: Confusing the philosophy of naturalism with science. 3:56 Mistake 2: Claiming that the DNA molecule is loaded with junk. 5:27 Mistake 3: Believing that body parts, like the appendix, are vestigial. 6:51 Mistake 4: Pretending to find the, still missing, missing links! 8:33 Mistake 5: Slandering Creationists and ID scientists by saying we don't make predictions.

War!!! There is a battle, a conflict like no other, that has allegedly been raging between faith and science. Richard Fangrad takes an indepth look into the limits of science and mere Christianity. It is imperative to understand how faith and science relate; otherwise, you're just going to assume that one destroys the other!

Dr. Casey Luskin is reviewing one of the most popular ideas today: the idea that our universe is just one of many in a multiverse. The multiverse idea stems from a materialistic understanding of reality; Dr. Luskin examines the philosophy of materialism in light of the evidence. He also shows how new, peer-reviewed research, is backing Intelligent Design. You won't want to miss this one!

Ideas have consequences. Calvin Smith pulls back the current on some of the darkest periods in history in the new Answers in Genesis Canada production, "Freakshow." Human Zoos were erected and human beings were put on display. Black and aboriginal people were portrayed as missing links, instead of people made in God's image. Calvin documents the history of freakshows, human zoos, the holocaust before the holocaust, the eugenics ideology, and genocide. He also explores what it would look like if our culture embraced Creationism at large and covers how to be discerning. If you are not interested in learning the truth about history, then this series may not be for you. However, if you want to learn why our culture is the way it is today, tune in and listen with an open mind.
