David Coppedge

David Coppedge, a freelance science reporter and former NASA engineer, joins the discussion on using AI to unveil intelligent design. He shares insights on a project where AI is trained to detect geoglyphs in the Nazca Plain of Peru, merging technology with archaeology. Coppedge explores the distinction between natural patterns and design, while examining how AI influences our understanding of art and nature. He raises ethical questions about the implications of these discoveries and the dual nature of intelligent design.

David Coppedge, a freelance science reporter and former NASA employee, joins host Andrew McDiarmid to explore how plants execute incredible strategies to spread their seeds. They discuss missile-like spore dispersal techniques and remarkable adaptations in plants and fungi. The pair also delve into the engineering principles behind root systems, highlighting how these natural designs inspire human technology through biomimetics. The conversation argues for intelligent design in nature, challenging the narrative of random evolution.
