Why does the human body run on a built-in seven-day cycle that doesn't match any natural astronomical rhythm? Dr. John Ashton reveals decades of medical research showing our blood pressure, hormones, and even mental health follow a weekly pattern — exactly as the Bible's fourth commandment describes. This episode offers compelling evidence for God woven into human biology itself, reinforcing a solid biblical worldview and rich creation science evidence for the Sabbath's design.

Dr. John Ashton explores the skeptical assumption that the Bible's seven-day week and Sabbath commandment are simply arbitrary human traditions with no basis in nature. He reviews decades of medical studies documenting a distinct seven-day, or circaseptan, biological rhythm in human blood pressure, hormones, and mental health — along with historical evidence that attempts to abolish the seven-day week, from revolutionary France to the Soviet Union, consistently failed and caused health problems. Ashton concludes that this built-in weekly rhythm, unrelated to any natural cycle, points to intentional design by the Creator who instituted rest at creation.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The medical research showing human blood pressure and heart rate follow a distinct seven-day biological rhythm
• Why French Revolutionaries abolishing the seven-day week caused a wave of health problems before it was reversed
• How Stalin's Soviet Union and tribes in the Congo both failed at replacing the seven-day week with alternatives
• Why people who observe a regular weekly day of rest show measurably better health and cognitive outcomes
