Perry Marshall and Michael Behe discuss where to draw the dotted line.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

And he decided to put Christian beliefs on the biggest public anvil he could find and invite the whole world to swing a hammer. This became an email list of two hundred and fifty thousand people, millions of website visitors, seven years in the largest atheist discussion board in the world, and in this talk he describes his journey through the darkness and what was left after the smoke cleared.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Denis Noble, one of the judges for the Evolution 2.0 Prize, discusses in this interview why we can't just put lipstick on a pig - why the public needs to be aware that evolutionary theory has undergone a revolution, and how this affects not only religious and philosophical discussions but policies and actions in medicine economics and politics.This interview was conducted by Ryan Bissett of Chasing Reality. Ryan has a PhD in molecular biology and five years of experience in biotech, but he eventually traded everything to go on a trajectory he could not have imagined. He lived in a van, packed wild food, and even lived as a Hare Krishna monk for five years. His aim now is to understand, "how can I synthesize my scientific training with my newfound narrative of existence?" You can check out his podcast as he interviews thinkers from different field of inquiry about fundamental questions of consciousness and reality, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChz-a9985r_s6n2EeC6zTgg See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
