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 harmless—or even beneficial—to their hosts?
Host Lauren and biologist Dr. Frank Sherwin talk about these strange organisms—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

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 evolved? Host Trey and paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas discuss the facts that lie behind the legends.
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.
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 science and expose the flaws of an anti-design approach to genetics.
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 many people think, and why it matters. (Stay tuned for Part 2!)
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—from Scripture and from the fossil record—that shows the real relationship between these two kinds of creatures.
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 required for evolution to be true.
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 than the one told in textbooks.
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, distant starlight, spiral galaxies, and globular clusters provide evidence for a universe that is closer to 6,000 years old.
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 complexity, describe systems that qualify as all-or-nothing, and discuss how these biological necessities prove to be incompatible with evolutionary theory.
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 fascinating creature feature.
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 as cut and dry as you think!
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 to a purposeful Designer.
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!
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.
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.

If the Bible is true, wouldn't it mention dinosaurs? If God made dinosaurs, when did He make them? Did they live with humans? What ultimately happened to them? If you've ever wondered about dinosaurs and the Bible, you'll want to join us for this episode of The Creation Podcast. Host Ivana Semidey and ICR paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas search Scripture for the answers, while fossil evidence provides additional insight.
What makes our sun so unique? Where does the sun get its power? Looking at the evidence, how old is our sun? On this episode of The Creation Podcast, host Trey Bowling and ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert discuss many popular claims made about the sun. They talk through different pieces of evidence that point to a young sun and where our true source of life resides.

How did a 1980 volcanic eruption change our understanding of geology? What impact did this event have on the age assignments of sediments? Join us for episode 23 of The Creation Podcast to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Host Ivana Semidey and ICR geologist Dr. Tim Clarey discuss the surprising discoveries made from observing the eruption, and how this volcano confirmed the feasibility of catastrophic geology and provided compelling evidence of rapid deposition.
How does design provide a better explanation for biological functions and adaptations than natural selection? And how can engineering principles help us to understand biological design? Episode 22 of The Creation Podcast is part two of our CET episodes. Host Ivana Semidey and ICR President Dr. Randy Guliuzza go deeper into the model of Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET), how it explains the biological functions of creatures, and how it moves us away from the death-driven theory of evolution.
If natural selection is a mystical delusion, what then is driving the adaptions we see in living organisms? And how can the principles of engineering help us to understand biological design? In episode 21 of The Creation Podcast, host Ivana Semidey and ICR President Dr. Randy Guliuzza talk about the circular reasoning of evolutionary theory and introduce a new theory of biological design known as Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET). Stay tuned for part two of this discussion.
Should we believe that there were multiple Ice Ages? How does an Ice Age happen? And what evidence can we find for a single Ice Age? Watch Episode 20 of The Creation Podcast as host Trey Bowling and ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert review the arguments for multiple Ice Ages over long periods of time and uncover the evidence for a single Ice Age only a few thousand years ago.
What is echolocation? Does echolocation work the same way in all the animals that use it? And how does it point to design? In Episode 19 of The Creation Podcast, host Trey Bowling and ICR research scientist and zoologist Dr. Frank Sherwin discuss the different ways creatures use echolocation and how this feature is evidence for design.
How does natural selection replace God as the creative agent? What issues can be found with the concept of natural selection? And can accepting Darwinian evolution be harmful to one's faith? Host Lauren Pennington and ICR President and research scientist Dr. Randy Guliuzza talk about some of the scientific and spiritual problems with the concept of natural selection in Episode 18 of The Creation Podcast.
Can plate tectonics explain how the Flood happened? How does subduction work? And do plate tectonics fit the biblical account of the Flood?
