The Creation Podcast

It's time to rethink the REAL function of the immune system. What we think is our body's defense system is actually more of a control interface, incredibly designed by our Creator! Host Lauren and ICR president Dr. Randy Guliuzza talk about this amazing, complex aspect of the human body.               

Try to get to the end of this episode without squirming! Almost everything on earth has some kind of parasite living inside of it—including humans. What are parasites, and how do they impact their hosts? Were they a part of God's original "very good" creation? Some parasites produce effects terrifying enough to make your skin crawl; but did you know that some of them are harmle...

We all know life when we see it—but what is it REALLY? Where did it come from? And how did it begin? Could life have spontaneously come into existence through something like abiogenesis? Host Ivana and geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins discuss what life is, and the opposing thoughts regarding how it started.            

The word hibernation is often used in reference to deep sleep, but what is it really? What kinds of creatures hibernate? How does this demonstrate the Creator's wisdom? Host Ivana and zoologist Dr. Frank Sherwin talk about this strange, sleep-like state.            

Dragons are considered by many to be made-up creatures in fairytales and legends, but our ancestors produced many descriptions and depictions of "dragons," some of which match real dinosaur fossils found centuries later. If humans lived with these incredible beasts, doesn't that contradict the evolutionist assumption that dinosaurs died off millions of years before modern humans evol...

How does the study of physics demonstrate the existence of a Creator? Do the laws we see in the universe today make sense in an evolutionary worldview? In this episode, Dr. Jake Hebert and host Ivana discuss what we can learn about our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ, from this fascinating area of scientific study.            

How does a brand new human begin forming inside a mother? What crucial role is the placenta designed to fill? Human reproduction is a mind-bogglingly complex process that demonstrates the glory and wisdom of our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ. In this episode, ICR president Dr. Randy Guliuzza and host Trey discuss how the processes and systems in human reproduction point to the Designer.  &nb...

Have scientists proven human evolution from a "common apelike ancestor," or are we being told a clever, confusing story filled with farcical "facts?" What is chromosome fusion, and why does it matter when discussing matters of the Christian faith? In the second installment of this two-part episode, ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins and host Trey Bowling dig deeper into the scienc...

Back in the nineteenth century, Charles Darwin promoted the supposed similarity between humans and chimpanzees. Later DNA studies seemed to support that idea—until someone started taking a closer look and noticed that there had been some...monkey business. In the first installment of this two-part episode, ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins explains how chimp and human DNA are not as similar as...

How did a single grain of sand almost ruin hours of filming? What are our viewers saying about ICR's podcasts? What were some of our favorite episodes to record? In this special Christmas episode, Trey, Michael, and Ivana rehearse some highlights and favorite moments from ICR podcasts during 2022, while also looking forward to exciting podcast topics and updates coming up in 2023.   ...

According to many sources, some dinosaurs had feathers and eventually evolved into birds. But Scripture says that birds and dinosaurs were each created by God on two different days of the creation week—and that birds were actually created first, completely separate from dinosaurs. So what's the truth? In this episode, Dr. Tim Clarey, ICR's geologist, dives into the evidence—fro...

Transitional fossils supposedly contain evidence of one kind of creature morphing into another, and purportedly provide proof for evolution. But is that proof so conclusive? Do fossils with distinct transitional features even exist? ICR paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas and host Ivana Semidey review the most commonly referenced "transitional fossils" and see if they display the changes re...

Carbon dating is a common method used to determine the ages of fossils and other materials, but carbon14 deteriorates quite quickly. How can it still be detected in things that are supposedly millions or billions of years old? With the expertise of ICR geologist Dr. Tim Clarey, host Trey Bowling investigates different dating methods used by scientists to see if the data tells a different story tha...

Many scientists claim that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old by reverse-engineering the Big Bang with the assumption that this theory is correct. How then do they explain the signs of youth in the earth, our solar system, and deep space? In this episode, host Ivana Semidey and ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert take a look at how phenomena like the earth's magnetic field, comets,...

Which came first, the protein or the cell? They were intentionally created at the same time along with every essential component of the all-or-nothing systems of life on earth. However, the theory of evolution claims that all forms of life arose by chance over long periods of time – is that possible? Join host Trey Bowling and ICR paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas as they define irreducible c...

From the leopard's spots to the butterfly's wings, many of our planet's creatures possess the ability to hide in plain sight. Where did this skill come from? And why is it found in so many diverse places? Whether in the air, on the ground, or under the sea, you're sure to find what you're looking for as host Ivana Semidey and ICR Zoologist Dr. Frank Sherwin discuss this fascina...

For millennia, mankind has looked at the stars in wonder. Technology has allowed us to study these magnificent creations, but we still have questions. A prominent issue is the distant starlight problem. Given the age of our planet, how are we able to see stars at such mind-bending distances? Listen in as host Trey Bowling and ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert discuss the matter. The answer may not be...

Tonsils, the appendix, and the spleen are just a few examples of organs within the human body that many people refer to as "useless," but are they? The Creation Podcast host Trey Bowling sits down with ICR president Dr. Randy Guliuzza to determine whether or not these organs serve a purpose. Listen as Dr. Guliuzza—a medical doctor—explains how these organs function and point...

Is it really true that less than 2% of genes are functional? Is the other 98% just "junk?" In episode 30 of The Creation Podcast , host Lauren Pennington and ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins debunk misconceptions about the usefulness of genes. This episode will reveal some surprising facts about RNA production, regulatory functions of genes, and more!        &nbsp...

Cells are the basic units of life, and in some forms they are actually organisms. What is a cell? What goes on inside of a cell? Did all life come from a single cell? Join host Ivana Semidey and ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins as they explore the unique design and complexities of the cell in episode 29 of The Creation Podcast.            

Is evolution seen in the fossil record? Why are fossilized terrestrial animals found buried with marine creatures? What conditions were needed to form the fossils we find today? Take a deep dive into the fossil record in episode 28 of The Creation Podcast with host Trey Bowling and ICR geologist Dr. Tim Clarey. Discover how the global Flood model explains the progression of the fossil record. &nbs...

What is the Big Bang theory? Does it align with a biblical worldview? How do design and fine-tuning offer better answers? In this episode of The Creation Podcast, join host Ivana Semidey and ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert as they talk about the Big Bang theory. They'll also cover red shift, an expanding universe, the origin of stars, and other topics.          &nbs...

What is bioluminescence? What would it take for evolution to produce this creature feature? Is there a better explanation of its origin? Join host Lauren Pennington and ICR zoologist Dr. Frank Sherwin as they talk about bioluminescence, how different creatures utilize this feature and how evolution simply cannot explain where a feature like this could come from.        &nb...
