Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

Creationists have long predicted that fossils would show "modern" creatures living alongside dinosaurs, contradicting evolutionary timelines. Recent fossil finds have pushed back the supposed age of anthropoids, placing them closer to the time of dinosaurs. These discoveries support the biblical view of a young Earth and the coexistence of various life forms from the beginning. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…
Some plants release "green leaf odors" when attacked, attracting wasps that paralyze attacking caterpillars. This complex interspecies communication between plants and insects shows intelligence in creation. Such systems defy the idea that these relationships "just happened" and instead point to a Creator's provision and design. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…
Tomato plants, when attacked by insects, produce defensive chemicals and release a compound called methyl jasmonate to warn neighboring plants. These neighbors then begin their own defenses, showcasing communication and biochemical awareness in plants. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…
Scientists have discovered that species have built-in mechanisms to maintain a balanced male-to-female ratio, even when disrupted by natural events. This has been observed in fish populations, which correct imbalances in just a few generations. Such intricate design challenges evolutionary theory and supports the biblical view of purposeful creation.

Studies show people often don't know how or why they believe what they do, and distractions can lead to accepting falsehoods. Belief begins with automatic acceptance before being evaluated against known truth, often without conscious awareness. This underscores the importance of staying grounded in Scripture, like the Bereans who tested all teachings against God's Word. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…
Certain bacteria can build their own magnetic compasses out of iron-sulfur crystals called greigite, enabling them to navigate in their environments.

A rare condition called "foreign-accent syndrome" causes individuals to suddenly speak with accents they’ve never learned, suggesting that the brain may have built-in language templates. This phenomenon aligns with the biblical account that God originally gave humanity a unified language before confusing it at Babel. It supports the idea that language is more than learned sounds—it's a gift embedded in our very design. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…

Some trees use complex defense strategies against insects, producing toxins or shedding leaves to resist attacks. Insects, in turn, exhibit clever adaptations—such as caterpillars that neutralize cyanide or larvae that weaponize toxic oils. These sophisticated interactions in nature reflect the intelligence and planning of a wise Creator. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com/…
Some spiders cleverly mimic ants—right down to waving their front legs like antennae—to avoid predators, even though ants themselves aren’t fooled. These spiders often live among the ants they imitate, gaining protection from more dangerous predators like wasps. This behavior, replicated in many forms across nature, reflects intentional intelligence in creation rather than mere coincidence.

For centuries, Christians—including Jesus Himself—understood Genesis 1 as a literal, historical account of creation and regarded Adam and Eve as real people. Only in more recent times, under the influence of secular philosophy and evolutionary thinking, have some begun to question this view. The natural, straightforward reading of Genesis remains the most consistent with both biblical teaching and church history.

Fever, often viewed as a symptom to be treated, is actually a defense mechanism designed to help the body fight infection. It boosts the immune system's response and deprives bacteria of resources, increasing the body’s ability to heal. This clever design shows God’s wisdom in how He built our bodies to combat disease.
