Intelligent Design the Future Behe, Meyer, & Lennox: The Evidence for Design is Growing
Jun 20, 2025
Join Peter Robinson as he interviews John Lennox, an Oxford math professor and critic of atheism, and Michael Behe, a biochemist known for his work on intelligent design. They tackle the gaps in Darwin's theory, exploring the Cambrian explosion and the mystery of transitional fossils. The conversation dives into irreducible complexity and critiques traditional evolutionary paradigms. They also examine the role of DNA as a coded language, raising questions about life's origins and the intricacies of biological information.

Episode notes
Fossil Record Challenges Darwin
- The Cambrian explosion reveals abrupt appearances of major animal groups without clear ancestors.
- This fossil record pattern challenges Darwin's expectation of gradual evolutionary change over time.
Natural Selection Limits
- Natural selection alone cannot create new functional biological information.
- Opening an ecological niche doesn't explain where the genetic code for new forms comes from.
Mathematical Improbability in Evolution
- Mathematical calculations show the improbability of random mutations producing complex proteins.
- Evolution presupposes existing life and doesn’t explain life's origin.
