In Episode 30 of The Genesis Science Report, we begin with a powerful exploration of CRISPR, the revolutionary gene-editing tool transforming science and medicine. Host David Rives unpacks its exciting potential for curing disease—and the sobering ethical risks of tampering with the building blocks of life. Could this be a modern Tower of Babel moment for science?
Then we’re joined by wildlife expert and creation speaker Michael Maughon, who brings live birds to the studio to tackle a fascinating evolutionary puzzle: Where did feathers come from? Despite decades of research, scientists still admit they don’t know. Together, we explore why feathers—lightweight, waterproof, and structurally complex—point to intelligent design, not random chance.
Finally, science journalist and former NASA consultant David Coppedge returns to help us address one of humanity’s biggest questions: Are we alone in the universe? With thousands of exoplanets now confirmed, many believe extraterrestrial life is inevitable. But what would intelligent life beyond Earth mean for Christianity, and does the Bible leave room for that possibility? Coppedge offers thoughtful, grounded insight on how science and Scripture intersect in this cosmic debate.
Also featured: a Kids Corner on bears, a Genesis Science Minute on biblical “kinds” vs. species, and a powerful resource unpacking the Tower of Babel and the origins of civilization.
This episode takes you from the genetic code to distant stars—all through the lens of faith and science.
