Guest: Dr. Howard Glicksman

Host: Allan CP

What keeps you alive every moment of every day?

Breathing. Blood sugar regulation. Calcium balance. Oxygen transport. Hydration. Hormone signaling. Organ coordination.

In this episode, physician and author Dr. Howard Glicksman walks us through the hidden control systems inside the human body that must function precisely or life quickly fails.

Instead of only asking how organisms look, this conversation explores how life actually works. From bone formation and oxygen delivery to hunger, thirst, and blood sugar regulation, we unpack the engineering challenges every living body must solve to stay alive.

This episode makes complex physiology understandable and personally relevant for students, parents, and curious learners alike.

46:08 Episode closing thoughts

Dr. Glicksman shares how decades of medical practice revealed the extraordinary coordination required for human survival. Every moment, bodily systems monitor and regulate oxygen, nutrients, fluids, and minerals through interconnected control networks.

Listeners discover:

• Bones are active metabolic organs, not just structural supports

• Calcium levels must stay within tight limits for muscles and nerves to work

• Breathing, hunger, and thirst act as survival alarms

• Blood sugar is regulated continuously by opposing hormonal systems

• Oxygen delivery requires coordinated lung, blood, and cellular functions

• Multiple systems cooperate simultaneously to sustain life

The episode reframes the human body as a dynamic network of systems working together constantly.

Sensors, feedback loops, and response systems operate continuously to maintain survival conditions.

Respiration, circulation, metabolism, hydration, and temperature regulation function together.

Too much or too little oxygen, sugar, calcium, or fluids can cause serious consequences quickly.

Bones, organs, and tissues are constantly being maintained and regulated.

Feedback loops, sensors, and control logic are central to how life functions.

Great for families or classrooms:

• What surprised you most about how your body works?

• Why do survival systems require precise balance?

• How do hunger, thirst, and breathing signals protect us?

• Why must organs cooperate instead of working independently?

• How does learning physiology change how you think about health?

• Sleep, hydration, nutrition, and exercise support multiple systems simultaneously.

• Health habits influence complex...

“The Holocaust Wasn’t ‘Wrong’? A Supreme Court Judge Said That…” ft. Dr. Barry Arrington

What if the foundation of human rights isn’t as solid as we think?

In this powerful episode of The Science Dilemma Podcast, Allan CP sits down with Dr. Barry Arrington — a seasoned constitutional attorney, author of Unforgetting God, and a key figure in high-profile legal battles — to tackle one of the most unsettling questions in modern philosophy and law: Can we call the Holocaust objectively wrong if we remove God from the equation?

Arrington argues that materialism — the belief that nothing exists except particles in motion — is dismantling justice, morality, and human dignity. Drawing from his decades of courtroom experience and personal encounters with tragedies like Columbine, he reveals how our culture’s drift from a God-centered worldview is reshaping laws, eroding the meaning of “justice,” and opening the door to moral chaos.

This conversation dives into:

• Why a federal judge claimed Americans can’t say the Holocaust was “objectively wrong” — and why that matters.
• How critical theory’s oppressor-vs-oppressed narrative grows naturally out of a materialist worldview.
• The shocking North Korea story that proves “you gotta serve somebody.”
• Why rights must either come from God or government — there’s no middle ground.
• How atheistic materialism undermines the Constitution, natural law, and even free will.
• A legal defense for transcendent morality and why Western civil rights movements were rooted in biblical thought.
• How Unforgetting God calls both Christians and skeptics to evaluate the evidence for faith.

If you’ve ever wondered whether justice, morality, and human rights can survive without God, or if you’re seeking clarity on how faith and law intersect in today’s culture wars, this episode will challenge and equip you.

Two Fathers for Joseph? The Bible Genealogy ‘Contradiction’ Explained ft. Dr. Robert Carter

In this episode of The Science Dilemma, Allan CP sits down with Dr. Robert Carter (Creation Ministries International) to tackle one of the most common challenges skeptics raise about the Bible: the genealogies of Jesus.

Are Matthew and Luke really giving Joseph two different fathers? Is this a contradiction, or is there a deeper historical and theological explanation? Dr. Carter brings nearly two decades of research and ministry experience to unpack the complexity of genealogies, their importance in Scripture, and how they actually strengthen the reliability of the Bible rather than undermine it.

You’ll learn:

• Why genealogies matter for both prophecy and theology.
• How Matthew and Luke present different perspectives on Joseph’s lineage.
• Why the early church never “fixed” the genealogies, even though critics call them contradictions.
• How genealogies connect Jesus to both King David and Adam.
• Why resolving hard questions about the Bible leads to greater confidence in its truth.

This conversation is both eye-opening and faith-building, equipping families, churches, and students to see God’s Word as trustworthy in every detail.
