The Creation Podcast

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.         More...

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.         More...

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.         More...

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.         More...

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.         More...

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.         More...

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.         More...

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!         More...

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.         More...

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!         More...
