Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Hugh Ross as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.
To determine whether the geochemical signatures of biological nitrogen fixation—a key metabolic process necessary for life to flourish—are bona fide, investigators from the University of Wisconsin used evolutionary principles to reconstruct ancient versions of nitrogenase and evaluated their biochemical properties. In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana describes this work and its implications for creation and evolutionary models for the origin of life.
Astronomers have discovered a star, SDSS J0715-7334, whose abundance of elements heavier than helium is less than 0.00000078! Such a low abundance can only be explained if it formed immediately after the burnout of a huge star in its vicinity, one composed of 100% hydrogen and helium. The elemental composition of this star and seven other stars like it affirms a major prediction of the biblically predicted big bang creation model.
