Is science finally catching up to Scripture? David Rives joins Erick Stakelbeck to break down what's really happening at the intersection of NASA, space exploration, and faith—and why astronauts returning from missions like Artemis II are boldly proclaiming what many in the scientific establishment have tried to suppress: the evidence for God is undeniable.  From cutting-edge discoveries in paleontology, archaeology, and AI—this episode pulls back the curtain on a stunning reality:  The deeper we explore the universe… the clearer God's design becomes. David Rives tackles the toughest questions: Does space exploration actually point to a Creator? Is evolution beginning to collapse under scientific scrutiny? What do dinosaurs and the fossil record REALLY say about the Bible? Is AI accelerating discovery—or opening dangerous doors? Are scientists replacing God with aliens and false narratives? Plus, a look inside the groundbreaking Wonder Center & Science Museum, where faith and science collide in a powerful way for the next generation. This is more than a debate—it's a battle for truth, identity, and purpose in a culture that's desperate for answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How did life begin? In this episode of Changing the Narrative, David Rives and Dr. Stephen Meyer take on one of the most foundational and contested questions in all of science. From origin-of-life theories and chemical evolution to the staggering complexity required for even the simplest living cell, this conversation explores why the existence of life remains far more difficult to explain than many popular accounts suggest. Rather than settling for surface-level answers, this episode digs into the scientific, philosophical, and worldview implications behind the question of how life could arise from nonliving matter. Along the way, David and Dr. Meyer examine the assumptions that often shape the modern conversation, the ongoing challenges facing abiogenesis research, and the deeper issue of whether life is best understood as the product of unguided processes or intentional design. If you've ever wondered whether current origin-of-life explanations truly account for the information, order, and complexity found in living systems, this discussion offers a thoughtful and compelling place to start. originoflife #howlifebegan #abiogenesis #chemicalevolution #scienceandfaith #creationvsevolution #intelligentdesign #biblicalworldview #davidrives #changingthenarrative #originsdebate #creationscience

Science and faith are often portrayed as being at odds — but are they really? In this episode of Changing the Narrative, David Rives sits down with Rob Stadler for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about the relationship between scientific discovery and biblical truth. In a culture that often frames faith and reason as opposites, this discussion takes a closer look at whether that conflict is as inevitable as many people have been led to believe. From the intricate complexity of the natural world to the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and design, this episode explores how science can do more than describe what we see — it can also raise profound questions about why the universe exists at all. David and Rob Stadler examine the evidence, assumptions, and worldviews that shape the way people interpret scientific data, while challenging the idea that belief in God requires abandoning intellectual rigor. This is a compelling conversation about truth, evidence, and the larger story behind creation — one that encourages viewers to think more deeply about the harmony between faith and the natural world. Whether you are wrestling with big questions or simply looking for a fresh perspective on science and belief, this episode offers an engaging reminder that the conversation may be far richer than the culture often suggests. scienceandfaith #ChangingTheNarrative #DavidRives #RobStadler #BiblicalTruth #FaithAndReason #ScienceAndBelief #IntelligentDesign

David Rives joins the Ladies of LoveTalk Network and provides a compelling bridge between faith and science. By viewing humanity as a "work of His hands" rather than biological accidents, he directly counters the modern "pandemic" of worthlessness with a sense of divine dignity and purpose. His focus on cultural apologetics and the historical reliability of the Dead Sea Scrolls reinforces the idea that the Bible is both scientifically and historically anchored, urging us to trust the observable data of the natural world. Ultimately, his journey from age seven, when David met the Lord, proves that a sense of destiny isn't bound by age, but by a relationship with the God who "declares His glory" through every star and strand of DNA.

You don't have to check your religion at the door at the Science Museum of Tennessee. You also don't have to suspend your scientific knowledge to enter its portals. In fact, both your faith and your intellect will be stimulated by the intense marriage of the two. And not only that, but their meeting will also have a profound effect on both. And you may realize that science and faith come from the same source: God Almighty. David Rives, founder of the Wonders Center & Science Museum in Dickson, Tennessee, explains how science, if understood correctly, can enhance faith, not destroy it. The Bible's Psalm 19 says, "The Heavens declare the glory of God... that day after day they pour forth speech." To Rives, the Psalm simply presents in poetry what his scientific mind has discovered materially. Since God created both our mind and the universe, they communicate with each other, providing us with a complete picture of the wonders of creation. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1925, the Scopes Monkey Trial rocked the nation—hailed as the ultimate showdown between science and religion. But behind the headlines and Hollywood dramatizations lies a scandalous and largely untold story. What really happened in that Tennessee courtroom?

In this episode with Dr. Brad Harrub, we revisit the Scopes Trial scandal and uncover the truth that history books often ignore. You'll hear shocking facts about how evidence was manipulated, how public perception was swayed by bias, and how this case marked a turning point in the battle for the classroom—and the culture.
