Jonathan Wells on How to Defeat Zombie Science
Oct 23, 2024
In this engaging conversation, Dr. Jonathan Wells, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and author of "Zombie Science," dissects the concept of 'zombie science'—outdated scientific ideas clinging to life despite substantial critique. He critiques the evolutionary framework, challenges key narratives like the hippo-to-whale transition, and emphasizes empirical evidence over consensus theory. Wells also reflects on the impact of Darwinism on faith, particularly within Christianity, advocating for intelligent design as a fresh perspective on life’s origins.
