Has the law of biogenesis (life begets life) been broken? Evolution says yes. However, when established scientific laws that describe the natural world are broken we recognize that as supernatural, or miraculous. So then, does the origin of life require the supernatural?

Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother's womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you'd expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her.

All thinking people have to answer the question of origins. This episode explores what atheists have to believe about where they came from.

In recent years, NASA probes have sent back images of our nearest planet Mars. These images have prompted some scientists to suggest that a global flood once carved the Martian landscape, even though no liquid water has yet been found.

Extra-Biblical historical records testify to the ancient nations beginning as family units from Noah's descendants. This powerfully supports the Bible's history, especially the reality of the world's population 'restarting' after the Flood of Noah.

Calling someone a mutant is an insult because mutations, which are copying mistakes in DNA, are almost always bad. In fact, we know many mutations by the diseases they cause and, to make matters worse, more mutations are added to the genome every year. In his recent book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome former Cornell University professor Dr John Sanford points out the seriousness of this problem. He shows that mutations are rapidly decaying the information within the human genome. However, this is surprising because, according to evolutionary theory, mutations coupled with natural selection is the means by which new information arises. But according to Sanford, if mutation and selection cannot preserve the information already in the genome it's difficult to imagine how it created all that information in the first place.

Some Old Earth Creationists (such as Dr Hugh Ross) have taught that old earth teaching was common among the church fathers, and the a young earth interpretation is recent invention. In this episode we set the record straight by looking at what the church fathers actually said about how and when God created.

If you were able to choose the planet you lived on, which one would it be? Well, I would definitely choose earth, because it is so well suited for life. Whether you're considering the Earth's distance from the sun, or its gravity, axial tilt or magnetic field, one conclusion is inescapable. Earth is finely tuned for life. Many see this as evidence for a designer but others don't. If earth wasn't finely tuned, they say, we wouldn't even exist so it doesn't indicate a designer. But is that a satisfactory answer? Imagined you were dragged before a trained firing squad and they all fired and all missed. If I asked you why you're not dead and you answered, "Well if I did die I wouldn't be here to tell you," you think I'd be satisfied with that explanation? In the same way, atheists cannot give a satisfactory answer for earth being so finely tuned for life.

Continuing from previous episodes in past seasons, this week we look at a collection of Bible-supporting scientific evidences for a recent creation from a wide variety of fields.

Unless you've been living underground for the last few years, I'm sure you've heard of feathered dinosaurs. It seems we're constantly hearing that birds evolved from dinosaurs, some have even suggested that KFC could change its name to KFD, Kentucky fried dinosaur.

The public education system only endorses one view of origins. Would it be better if the scientific evidence for creation was also taught? Would it be more 'fair?

Some Christians believe in evolution. Does this mean they are not Christians? Scientists and theologians are interviewed to answer this question.

At a forum on depression a young man said, "I think some people may have an inability to cope and maybe, this might sound a bit extreme, that might be Darwinian theory, the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest. Maybe some of us aren't meant to survive, maybe some of us are meant to kill ourselves."

Skeptics accuse creationists of pushing 'bad science' and religious ideas. This episode examines evolution according to the evolutionists own criteria for what science is. The Creation Magazine LIVE! TV program is a ministry of Creation Ministries International. With offices in seven countries and more PhD scientists than any Christian organization this program features cutting edge science that supports the Bible delivered in a non-technical, visually-rich, discussion-based format.

Don't you hate it when your coffee goes cold before you have time to drink it? The next time this happens, instead of grumbling, perhaps you should congratulate yourself on conducting an experiment in thermodynamics that has implications for the origin of the universe.

In a well publicized debate at the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum Ken Ham debated Bill Nye 'The Science Guy' on the topic, "Is creation a viable model of origins in a modern scientific age?"
