Listen "Why Macroevolution Doesn’t Work"
Episode Synopsis
Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and senior consultant in rehabilitation medicine, Dr. Uditha Jayatunga, as they discuss one of evolution’s biggest claims: macroevolution.
In this presentation, Dr. Jayatunga challenges the foundational role of macroevolution in explaining the evolutionary tree of life. Many biologists view macroevolution as a natural extension of microevolution, but he rejects this premise, citing a lack of conclusive evidence and significant scientific hurdles.
Drawing from biochemistry, physiology, biomechanics, microbiome science, and reproductive biology, he explains why large-scale evolutionary change is scientifically implausible—and even introduces the idea of “reverse evolution” (like losing certain abilities) in humans.
This is a rare, thought-provoking perspective on the limits of evolutionary theory and the case for God’s design.
