GROUNDWORK: Exploring Mysteries Science Can Describe—But Not Explain

What if science doesn’t weaken faith—but helps grow it? In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins talks with scientist and professor Dr. Bill Ranahan about the remarkable beauty and complexity uncovered by scientific discovery—and how those discoveries can lead to deeper faith, not doubt. Drawing from cancer research, biology, and the rhythms of everyday life, Bill shares how closely studying the natural world has consistently pointed him toward purpose, meaning, and trust in God. From the design of the human body to the simple acts of breathing and resting, this conversation invites listeners to see science not as a threat to belief, but as a window into wonder. This episode is especially for those who feel worn down, overwhelmed, or uncertain—and who are looking for a way to reconnect curiosity, awe, and faith in a noisy world.
