Science Logic and Faith Perry Lanaro

Where did our universe come from? This episode looks at how the discovery of the red shift in the early 20th century radically changed our view of the universe. From there it dives into Big Bang cosmology and the philosophical implications of our universe having a beginning. These new insights from cosmology, provide a fresh look at Genesis chapter one and other Biblical passages on the Universe and the nature of time. If you have not heard these concepts before, it i...

In the last segment, we saw that our universe had a beginning, which points to something beyond our universe that caused it to come into existence. Does science give us any indication of what made our universe? Was there a plan behind our universe, or was it just some random event? Well, it turns out science does show evidence of what made our universe, or at least characteristics of what lies beyond.

What were the Genesis phrases “Let there be light” and “The earth was formless and void” referring to? This podcast looks at the formation of the earth, sun, oceans, continents, atmosphere, and water cycle. It then compares earth’s physical history to what is mentioned in Genesis. Next it asks if there is anything special about the earth and sun, or are they just the result of a random process. Reconciling earth’s history with Genesis can be challenging and is an impor...

This segment looks at the history of life on earth except for man, which will be covered in the following episode. The talk will primarily focus on the fossil record and when various forms of life appeared on earth. We will then compare Earth’s life history with the Genesis account. A deep dive into evolutionary theory will be covered in later podcasts.

As humans, are we just a higher form of animal, or are we distinct from the rest of the animal kingdom? What were the Neanderthals? Is there any scientific basis for the story of Adam & Eve to be literal? This episode takes a fascinating look at these questions that have significance with how we view ourselves as human beings. T...

Scientists agree evolutionary changes contributed to life’s diversity, but the debate is whether evolution explains all of life’s diversity? After studying evolution and presenting talks to live audiences, I realize one can’t have a meaningful discussion regarding evolution unless those involved understand the theory – and few people do. Here you will learn what I’ve found to be the key aspects of the theory. Even if you have a degree in biology, you will probably pick up so...
