Most students are told evolution is settled science. But as new discoveries pile up around biological information and the origin of life, even mainstream researchers are quietly moving the goalposts. Dr. Charles G. Jackson on where observation ends and assumption begins. Then Dr. Glenn Wilson, a USDA soil scientist, on why a single storm can erase what textbooks claim took centuries to build.

In this episode:

• Cascadia, the San Andreas, and the earthquake link no one saw coming
• Dr. Charles G. Jackson on evolution's drift into philosophy
• Darwin's finches, 150 years later — what they actually show
• A Kids Corner that starts in a tackle box and ends in a museum
• A Genesis Science Q&A on the world beyond what we can see
• Featured Resource: The New Weather Book by meteorologist Michael Oard
• Dr. Glenn Wilson on soil erosion, formation rates, and a landscape that can change in hours

Artificial intelligence isn't just a tool anymore. It's beginning to influence governance, ethics, and the decisions that shape public life. Dr. Charles Jackson breaks down what's at stake when algorithms start carrying authority. Then Dr. Paul Nelson on the quiet shift inside evolutionary biology, and why the iconic tree of life may not be the right picture anymore.

In this episode of The Genesis Science Report, David opens with a look at an extraordinary bacterium discovered in NASA clean rooms that can essentially “play dead” to survive extreme sterilization and environmental stress. Its ability to shut down and later revive challenges assumptions about how life survives and raises deeper questions about the sophistication built into even the smallest living systems.

Next, retired NASA astronaut Colonel Jeff Williams joins us to discuss the future of the International Space Station. With the station operating far beyond its original design life, Williams shares firsthand insight into how the ISS has held up, what risks come with extending its mission, and what retiring it could mean for the future of human space exploration.

Later, Christian speaker Brian Young examines a surprising cultural shift. While church attendance has declined for years, new data suggests Generation Z may be rediscovering faith in unexpected ways. Young helps unpack why belief may be becoming countercultural again and what opportunities this creates for meaningful conversations about biblical truth.
