Join astrophysicists Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Global warming over the past four decades has produced more than a twofold increase in synchronous fire weather (SFW)—both within and across regions—in northern temperate and boreal regions and in equatorial Asia during El Niño years. SFW is strongly correlated with higher levels of PM2.5—fine particulate air pollution. From 2006 to 2020, wildfire PM2.5 was responsible for 24,100 deaths per year in the contiguous United States, with deaths from neurological diseases showing the greatest increase. For health reasons alone, Hugh Ross explains, climate change mitigation and wildfire suppression must become an urgent priority.

During the last 30 years, astronomers have discovered thousands of planetary systems around other stars. The more they learn about those planets, the more our solar system looks rare. Jeff Zweerink explains how the recent detection of a planet floating freely in space provides even more evidence for the unique design of our solar system.
