For years, biology textbooks claimed the coccyx was a useless leftover from our evolutionary past—evidence of a tail we no longer need. Skeptics often wondered how people refused to accept Darwin and his scientific fact that life descended from lower animals. But is that really the case? In this episode, we explore the real purpose of the coccyx, debunk the myth of it being a "vestigial tail," and...

In this episode, we dive into a popular talking point in evolutionary biology—vestigial organs. Once hailed as "proof" of Darwinian evolution, organs like the human tonsils were commonly cited as leftover structures with no real purpose. But is that really true? Join us as we explore how this claim made its way into classrooms and textbooks—and why it’s being challenged even today. Whether you're...

A number of people, both skeptics and even some Christians doubt that the story of Jonah is true.  Some doubt that there ever was a prophet named Jonah at all.  Getting into this lesson, we read in the Book of Jonah that the prophet was swallowed by a great fish.  Yet, skeptics point out that in Matthew’s gospel, Jesus says that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. So, let's dive into th...

Scripture declares that we are all descendants of Adam and Eve.  Numerous scientific studies from the 1990’s to present have confirmed this as well.  Even the National Geographic Society has shown documentation of all humans being the descendent of one man and one woman. This question has become a challenge to many skeptics demanding an answer for when talking with Creationists. Joi...

Over the last 2,000 years, critics have tried—and failed—to destroy Christianity. One of their claims is that the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection contradict each other. But is that really the case? In this episode, we take a deeper look at who went to the tomb on that first Easter morning and why the differences in the Gospel narratives are not contradictions, but complementary portraits of...

In this week’s podcast, Michael Lane discusses the topic of genealogy in the Bible from the Florida Keys as he leads students on the 2025 Marine Biology trip! In Biblical times, genealogy was so important to show the lineage of families. To the Israelites it’s still very important piece of their culture. Skeptics and critics will use these two genialities as evidence that the Bible cannot be trust...

In this week’s podcast, biologist, author, and Bible teacher Michael Lane addresses a common contradiction pointed out by Bible skeptics: How many times did the rooster crow? Skeptics often highlight perceived discrepancies in the Bible—especially in the four Gospels—as evidence that it’s full of contradictions and therefore unreliable. Tune in to hear Micheal explain how there is no contradiction...

Many biology textbooks claim that the appendix, a vestigial organ, is a leftover evolutionary part of the human body.

Did you know that Darwinian Evolutionists claim our mouth is living proof of the evolution theory?

Gould, former director o...

In Episode 6 of the “God’s Guide To Discipleship” series, Michael Lane completes this course with a plan of action to help you strengthen your discipleship with God.

When we accept Jesus in our heart, we are officially justified for all past, present, and future sin.

The Greek term ‘νίπτω” (Nipto) is the word for those who wash their feet and hands in symbolic cleansing. What does th...

In Episode 3 of the “God’s Guide To Discipleship” series, Michael Lane leads us through the Bible to reveal that no amount of money and no amount of good works gives us forgiveness. Rather, it is by the Lord's way: Repentance of our sin and mere faith in our savior Jesus Christ. Join Michael in the E...

In this final episode of the “Suffering, Evil, and God” series, Michael Lane takes us through various Bible stories which reveal why God allows suffering.

In this week’s podcast, biologist, author, and Bible teacher Michael Lane guides us in developing a Biblical perspective of free will according to one major decision: Do we choose to repent to our Father, or do we deny Him?
