Michael Behe’s Darwin Devolves: Evolution Works, But Nothing Like They Claim For It




Intelligent Design The Future show

Summary: On this episode of ID the Future, Jay Richards interviews biologist and Center for Science and Culture senior fellow Michael Behe on his forthcoming book Darwin Devolves: The New Science About DNA That Challenges Evolution, available now for pre-order. Very recent advances in gene sequencing show that natural selection works — sometimes — but almost always by breaking genes, not by building new ones. It’s like increasing fuel efficiency by cutting weight from your car: great if fuel efficiency is a matter of life or death, not so great if you actually wanted that back seat in there. So yes, Darwinian evolution can improve some functions, but it’s no way to evolve new species. Please consider donating to support the IDTF Podcast: idthefuture.org/donate.
