Fazale “Fuz” Rana (born February 6, 1963) is an American biochemist, Christian Apologist, author, and science lecturer.

[1][2] He writes and speaks extensively about evidence for creation emerging from biochemistry, genetics, human origins, and synthetic biology.

As a teenager, his interests were described as “sports, girls, and rock and roll.”[4] As a sophomore in high school, Rana learned Islamic prayers and read the Koran, but he later abandoned the effort after finding it too burdensome.

[7][11] His wife Amy was teaching biology at a local community college and brought home a variety of creationist literature when the term ended.

Rana was curious and flipped through several books, finding them to be “horrible science.” In his opinion, the Christian authors did not appear to understand certain subjects, such as the chemistry of radiometric dating.

[4] He signed up for a 34-week training course at the organization and went on to start a Bible study focused on science and faith at his workplace at Procter & Gamble.

[6][16][17] In 2011, he stated to NPR "From my viewpoint, a historical Adam and Eve is absolutely central to the truth claims of the Christian faith" and he has questioned the evolution theory.

[19][20] Rana has been interviewed in media outlets such as FOX News,[13] The Christian Broadcasting Network,[21] In the Market with Janet Parshall,[22] and The John Ankerberg Show.

[8][13] Rana has been openly critical of Dr. William Lane Craig’s book In Quest of the Historical Adam: A Biblical and Scientific Exploration, published in 2021.

In this, he states, “Craig’s theological and scientific conclusions are unlikely to be accepted by many evangelicals and theologically conservative Christians.…I direct most of my focus on the scientific issues — in particular, how symbolic artifacts in the fossil record provide compelling evidence that Adam (and Eve) are best understood as modern humans, who alone display cognitive capacities that reflect the image of God.”[25] Rana (also known as Fuz)[26] loves blues, southern and country rock music, including artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker.
