In a recent episode of Prophecy Watchers, host Mondo Gonzales sat down with Sean O’Rourke to explore the staggering scientific evidence pointing toward a Creator, and how it all ties into Romans 1.
O’Rourke, who described himself as “a mechanic” who thinks in “cause and effect” terms, laid out a powerful case for intelligent design. “I love watching documentaries and I love looking at God’s creation,” O’Rourke said. “Every time somebody says [it] arrived by chance, my mind just short circuits.”

The conversation repeatedly returned to Scripture, with Gonzales reading directly from Romans 1:18-21 and comparing the suppression of truth to a beach ball held under water. “You have to actively push it down to keep it from coming up. And that’s what the truth here is,” Gonzales said. “It says… what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them.”
O’Rourke agreed, reflecting on how he once wrestled with that passage. “That was one of those verses where I was like, really? Are they without an excuse? They’ve been lied to so much.” But after years of examining the data and speaking with skeptics, he came to a firm conclusion: “They really are willfully ignorant of the good stuff, the information, the truth.”
According to both men, the refusal to acknowledge a Creator isn’t about the lack of evidence, it’s about the desire for independence from God. “They don’t want to be accountable,” O’Rourke said. “They like it. They don’t want to be told what they can and can’t do from a higher power.”
Throughout the interview, Gonzales challenged viewers not to “bet your eternal destiny” on unproven secular theories. “It is a bet that you’re going to lose,” he said. “You would be foolish to bet your eternal destiny on something that is absolutely and unfathomably impossible based on math.”

O’Rourke summed up the issue by quoting his father: “God gave you a brain and He expects you to use it.”
