Faith and Science

When life falls apart, where is God, and does the oldest book in the Bible have any answers? In this episode of Faith and Science, host Kaysie Vokurka explores the Book of Job and the problem of evil, asking why the best answer to pain is sometimes a relationship rather than a reason. It’s a thoughtful look at suffering through a biblical worldview, with evidence for God drawn from what science st...

Was Jesus just a good moral teacher, or did He make claims that leave no room for that label? In this episode of Faith and Science, we examine the famous "liar, lunatic, or Lord" argument as a case study in Christian apologetics, weighing the evidence for God found in the life, miracles, death, and resurrection of Christ. We also look at why the identity of Jesus is foundational to a consistent bi...

Why would an all-powerful, loving God allow evil to exist instead of wiping it out immediately? In this episode of Faith and Science, we go beyond the story of the forbidden fruit to explore the fall of man and the cosmic rebellion in heaven that changed everything. Drawing on the evidence for God and a biblical worldview, we unpack why truth, free will, and love are inseparable from God's respons...

Why would a loving, all-powerful God allow genocide, abuse, and senseless suffering to exist in the world? In this episode of Faith and Science, we tackle one of the toughest challenges to belief: the problem of evil. We explore how our shared, undeniable sense of right and wrong points beyond blind biology and offers striking evidence for God. Along the way, we unpack why real love demands real f...

If we're just the product of billions of years of random evolution, why do we all sense, deep down, that some things are simply wrong? In this episode, we examine three competing explanations for the origin of morality — atheistic evolution, pantheism, and theism — and ask which one can actually account for objective right and wrong. Along the way we explore the creation science evidence for a mor...

Is right and wrong just a matter of personal opinion, or does everyone answer to a deeper moral law? In this episode of Faith and Science, host Kaysie Vokurka digs into the sharp divide between moral relativism and moral objectivism, asking why cultures across history have universally recognized things like slavery and cruelty as evil even when they were once socially accepted. The conversation un...

What could a notorious serial killer possibly teach us about the existence of God? In this thought-provoking episode of Faith and Science , host Kaysie Vokurka sits down with Dr. John Ashton to unpack the chilling case of Jeffrey Dahmer—and how his own conscience became an unexpected piece of evidence for God . Drawing from chapter 11 of Dr. Ashton's book, The Big Argument: Does God Exist? , this...

Can science ever explain why you have an inner life — thoughts, feelings, creativity — and not just a brain full of chemical reactions? In this episode of Faith and Science, we dig into consciousness as one of the strongest cases for evidence for God, exploring how naturalism struggles to account for the mind while a biblical worldview offers a coherent answer. Along the way we touch on genetics,...

What if the very thing that makes you you —your thoughts, feelings, and sense of self—can't be weighed, measured, or explained by physics alone? In this episode of Faith and Science, we dive into one of philosophy's most stubborn puzzles: the origin of consciousness. Drawing on rigorous Christian apologetics , we explore why leading naturalist philosophers have struggled to account for belief, emo...

Could a computer ever actually think, feel, and know right from wrong the way you do? In this episode of Faith and Science, we dig into what separates a machine that simulates thought from a mind that truly experiences it — and why that gap matters far more than most people realize. Along the way, we uncover striking evidence for God , explore how Christian apologetics answers one of AI's toughest...

How could Noah possibly fit every species—dinosaurs included—onto one boat, and still explain how their descendants spread to every continent on Earth? In this episode of Faith and Science, we tackle the questions skeptics love to raise about the Genesis flood account, walking through the ark's dimensions, the difference between "kinds" and species, and the post-Babel migration that repopulated th...

What if the "millions of years" argument against the Bible is built on a foundation of unproven assumptions? In this episode of Faith and Science, we dig into radiometric dating — the go-to argument for an old Earth — and uncover surprising creation science evidence that challenges the standard timeline. From conflicting isotope results to a rapidly decaying magnetic field, this conversation offer...

Could fossil graveyards stretching across entire continents be the fingerprint of a single, global catastrophe? This episode dives deep into the biblical flood evidence hidden in Earth's rock layers, and why it may be stronger than mainstream geology admits. Host Kaysie Vokurka sits down with Dr. John Ashton, author of The Big Argument: Does God Exist?, to unpack chapter 9 (contributed by geologis...

Are you fascinated by the intricate details of ancient life? Discover compelling creation science evidence as we uncover the secrets of the Cambrian explosion . This episode is a deep dive into Christian apologetics that challenges the standard narrative of primitive evolutionary beginnings . In this conversation, Dr. John Ashton discusses the complex optical systems of trilobites, highlighting th...

Are human body parts like the appendix and tailbone actually useless? Explore why these structures serve critical functions in human anatomy. In this episode of Faith and Science, hosts Kaysie Vokurka and Dr. John Ashton examine the common claim that certain organs are merely evolutionary remnants. By analysing biological evidence, they challenge the idea that these parts have no purpose. Instead,...

Are classic evolutionary examples like the peppered moth actually staged? Learn why scientific evidence is being questioned. Haeckel's embryo drawings and the peppered moth are two of the most iconic examples used to teach natural selection and darwinism — both now questioned by scientists themselves. In this Faith & Science conversation, Kaysie and Dr. John Ashton examine what the evidence ac...

Rethinking chemical evolution, life chemistry, and the origin of life, this Faith & Science episode explores the limits of natural selection and the mystery of biological information in living cells. What if natural selection only explains survival, not the arrival of new genetic information? In this conversation, Kaysie Vokurka and creation scientist Dr John Ashton unpack why classic chemical...

We revisit the classic "miller urey experiment" from the 1950s, which initially offered hope for understanding the "origin of life on earth" by creating amino acids. Despite this early success, the challenge of explaining "chemical evolution" from random chemicals to the specific information in DNA remains a significant hurdle in the study of "abiogenesis". Join us as we consider what it truly tak...
