  • Suggestion

    It’s a good podcast however it can be difficult to listen to at times. This is because one of the cohosts yells when he talks. He talks very fast at a high volume and it’s somewhat stressful to listen to as they go back-and-forth between a calm slower, normal talker and a fast yelling cohost.

  • This is bad

    I just listened to an episode reporting that the genetic similarity of chimps to humans is more like 14-15% as opposed to 1-2%. They literally say after repeating this over and over again that it doesn’t actually prove or even reinforce any ID arguments. They insinuate some sort of intentionality behind the finding be “buried”. The hosts are the ones with an agenda, that much is clear.

  • Some helpful feedback

    A lot of the content on this podcast is at the popular level, I would like to see the complexity of living things discussed at length more often. I would also like to see more quantum mechanical implications on philosophy and science, I believe that is an area which flatly fits better into a theistic or at least pantheistic worldview than a naturalistic one.

Dr. Howard Glicksman: Why Evolution Fails to Explain Life’s Design
Q: What are some of the problems with Darwinian theory that you and Steve lay out?
Darwinian theory primarily operates on chance without a theory of generation; it can't account for the complexity of human systems, which require intelligent design.

Q: Is there a conflict between Christianity and evolution?
Buggs explains that it depends on the definition of evolution; if defined as natural processes without God's involvement, then yes, there can be a conflict, but not with his understanding of evolution based on changes in allele frequencies.
