The conversation is beginning to shift. It is no longer only about whether a Creator exists, but about how that Creator works.
If evolution itself shows signs of direction and intent, then the deeper question becomes one of purpose.
Could life’s history be unfolding toward something, or someone?
In the full discussion, Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Hugh Ross explore what it means if evolution is not random but deeply purposeful and more!

![Chromosome 2 Design | Bird Flight: Designed or Random | Fazale Fuz Rana and Jeff Zweerink
Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications pointing to the reality of God’s existence.
Fuz discusses the work of Chinese scientists who have identified the functional significance of the [genetic?] fusion event that seemingly generated human chromosome 2. This insight validates a key prediction of the RTB human origins model and adds credibility to the Bible’s description of humanity’s creation.
Jeff explains why scientists and engineers increasingly look to nature for inspiration to “build a better mousetrap.” Virtually every airplane in existence has a vertical tail that keeps the airplane on a straight line without rolling or spinning on its vertical axis. A recent study of how birds fly without a vertical tail reveals the sophisticated system of sensors, reflexes, and materials used to achieve “rudderless” flight. Far from a kludge job, such sophistication points to the work of a Creator who designed birds with this remarkable ability.
