EPISODE 2: Logic and Design | 37 minutes
In this episode of Creation Clues we are looking at the concept of logic and design in nature. The dominant secular view is that everything came into existence by random chance. But does random create patterns and order? We know and can test that intelligence creates patterns and order. Thus, logic helps us deduce that if something is designed, there must have been intelligence behind it. In this episode we look under the microscope at how even the smallest of clues in nature can give us evidence of a God through evidence of design.

EPISODE 3: From Death to Abundant Life: Coppice and the Story of Salvation | 8 minutes
An uprooted tree will typically die as its roots no longer bring water and nutrients into it. But there is a rare occurrence in which a dying tree can experience abundant life! This natural but rare phenomenon is a great illustration for our own spiritual condition. Without God, we are spiritually dead. We deserve death. But God offers us abundant life through Jesus Christ!

EPISODE 4: Why do Leaves Change Color? All About Fall Pigments! |49 minutes
When fall comes the trees put on a wonderful show of color over several weeks. Have you ever wondered why this happens? Why do some colors appear before others? Why do some trees have certain colors? What is the purpose of trees losing their leaves? Why do evergreens not change color? These are some of the questions we will explore in the episode in addition to what this fall transformation can teach us about spiritual transformation and our Creator God.

EPISODE 5: What are Meristems and Mitosis? | 19 minutes
In the springtime you might notice the trees and plants around your home start putting out new buds. Depending on the plant, these buds can look and feel different than the rest of the plant. What you’re seeing is the plant actively growing and creating new parts of itself. How does it do this? Well, it’s a little know process called mitosis. Join us in the backyard, in the woods, and under the microscope for this exciting Creation Clues on Meristems, Mitosis, and new growth!

EPISODE 6: What’s the Deal With Fossils? | 33 minutes
How do you make a fossil? Fossils are often used as evidence to explain that the world is millions of years old and challenge the Biblical timeline of Creation. However, the recipe for fossils and the abundance of fossils seem to indicate a more rapid and catastrophic event. Come take a look at some amazing fossils and how we can be confident in God’s Word!

EPISODE 7: Fish Blood Highway | 10 minutes
God is a God of design—not a God of randomness. Science shows us that things don’t just happen by chance. Many people struggle to believe in God, thinking the universe came together through random events. But when we take a closer look, creation itself points us to an intelligent designer – God! In this episode, we’ll explore the “Fish Blood Highway” and see how it shouts the existence of our Creator.

EPISODE 8: Cells – What Are They? | 21 minutes
For centuries, people wondered what makes up life. We can see arms, legs, leaves, or stems—but not everything living has those parts. The answer lies deeper, in something far smaller: cells.
Cells are the building blocks of life—tiny structures so small they often require a microscope to see. Some are microscopic, like bacteria, while others are massive in comparison, like an ostrich egg—the largest cell on Earth.
But where do cells come from? Science has confirmed what the Bible has declared all along: life comes from life. Cells don’t magically appear from chemicals over billions of years. They are designed with breathtaking complexity that points clearly to their Creator—Jesus Christ, who made all things visible and invisible. Join us as we uncover the mystery of cells and see how their intricate design reveals the handiwork of God!
