* Stand Up! This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Donny Budinsky and Matt Nailor of Standing for Truth Ministries to discuss the Bible, DNA, and endogenous retroviruses.

* Fetal Development and Exogenous Viruses... Hear how ERV's behave like antiviral components of immune response, and appear to be instrumental in embryological development.

* Research Agrees with Genesis: Hear how the scientific literature in the field of ERV's, particularly regarding antiviral protection lead honest researchers to question the evolutionary suppositions.

* Exodus Story: The Exodus Story, the first album in Bob Enyart's study of the book of Exodus, explores one of the most thrilling stories in the Bible. For the first time in the Biblical record we see God directly attack Pagan deities and worldly powers. The book of Exodus sheds light not only on God's plan for Israel, but also reveals undeniable truths about man's reaction to miracles. Also hear Bob refute the argument that there is no extra-biblical evidence for the exodus. The exodus is an old story brought to new life in this unique examination. Bob Enyart draws lessons and truths that have heretofore remained undiscovered. Available on MP3-CD or download.

Under Grace

Overview of the Bible

* Of Pangolins and Protection: Fred and Ryan review the latest Creation Magazine, starting with the pangolin! Its an armored, anteater-like creature with keratin scales and unique defensive design. Evolutionists once linked it to armadillos, but genetic studies disproved the connection, forcing an appeal to convergent evolution—a recurring "rescue device" for failing Darwinian models.

* Shark Skin and Airplanes: From ocean to air, shark skin's ridged structure reduces drag. Engineers have reverse-engineered this feature for airplane coatings and banned swimsuits. Like past guest Dr. Michael Egnor noted, reverse engineering proves intentional design.

* A Forest from a Warmer Past: Global warming headlines falter as ancient warm-climate forests are discovered under melting snow in Wyoming. 

* Dawkins vs. Dawkins: Irony strikes as atheist icon Richard Dawkins clashes with the Freedom From Religion Foundation over gender ideology. Dawkins is now censored for insisting humans can't change biological sex. As Romans 1 says, suppressing truth leads to folly.

*  Life on Bennu? Not So Fast: NASA’s return samples from asteroid Bennu contain racemic amino acids—both left and right-handed—suggesting death, not life. Fred and Ryan highlight the missed opportunity by CMI to support the Hydroplate Theory, which better explains why Earth-like materials (like serpentinite) are found in space.

* Dire Wolves and DNA: A biotech firm claims to have "de-extincted" the Ice Age dire wolf using CRISPR and gray wolf DNA. But critics argue it's just a genetically engineered look-alike. The ethics—and science fiction parallels—raise valid concerns about modern tinkering with life.

* Ant Eyes and Imaging Breakthroughs: Desert ants’ compound eyes detect polarized light to navigate featureless landscapes. Chinese scientists copied this tech to enhance imaging—enabling detection of cancer cells without staining. Once again, man learns from the Master Engineer.

* Exodus Symbols: As an apologist at heart (that is, a defender of the Gospel), Bob Enyart begins this final section of our Exodus series by presenting the latest astounding discoveries from the discipline of Egyptology. Scholars and scientists have long uncovered tremendous evidence corroborating the Bible's account of creation, the global flood, the supernatural fall of Jericho, Israel's kingdom, and ultimately, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, scant corroborating evidence for the Exodus has long been known. So Bob presents the newly uncovered mountain of evidence for the historicity of Israel's sojourn in Egypt and then the Exodus itself!

After the Holy Spirit inspired Moses to record the text for our previous two installments of this study, the story of the Exodus itself and then the Exodus legal code, God then revealed to this deliverer Israel's symbolic ordinances of the sacrifices, the tabernacle, and the priesthood. What does it all mean? Jesus taught that the Scriptures speak of Him. So, that is how we interpret the symbolic sections of the Hebrew Bible. The portions of Scripture that contain less historical narrative and more religious ritual tell us much about Christ, His sacrifice, and His mission. So, along with the teacher, the student too must begin by keeping Jesus Christ foremost in mind and in interpretation. This study uses that primary methodology, that the shed blood, the ark of the testimony, and the mediators, all speak of the Messiah. Then, Bob applies the other lessons learned from his "Hermeneutics: Tools for Understanding the Bible". As a result, the meaning of many symbolic details, particulars that at first may seem mysterious and even inscrutable, often become clear as we conclude our verse-by-verse study of the second book in the Bible, Moses' book of The Exodus!

Defending God's Goodness Part 1

To Tithe... or Not to Tithe

* "Pseudoscience" and Reverse Engineering: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Michael Egnor: author of "The Immortal Mind", a medical doctor, professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University, and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute who’s been a leading voice addressing intelligent design, the mind-brain relationship, and the limits of materialist explanations in science.

* The Heart of the Matter: Listen in as Dr. Egnor explains how the assumption that the heart is a pump, (a design inference) is essential to analysis of the "Windkessel effect" and how the design of the circulatory system of the brain protects delicate microcirculation infrastructure from the powerful pumping force of the heart.

* Hemispheres: Get the back story on a surgical procedure called the "hemispherectomy", and it's implications for the mind/body interface, including fascinating descriptions of how Penfield's study of seizures implies that reason, abstract thought and the will arise not in the brain, but elsewhere.

* Flesh Versus Mind: Dr. Egnor reviews the thoughts of Aquinas, Plato, Ryle, Descartes, Aristotle and others regarding the mind and the body, and the compatibility of those thoughts with the best understanding of modern neuroscience.

* The Savant: Hear Dr. Egnor comment on Bob Enyart's theory regarding the often amazing capabilities displayed by savants.

* Soul, Spirit & Body: Listen to Fred, Doug & Dr. Egnor explore the nature of the body, soul, spirit relationship, and how Francis Crick proved that being smart does not necessarily make one wise, (check out quote number three)!
