In 2005 a high profile trial saw the Dover School District taken to court for promoting Intelligent Design (ID) as an alternative theory to evolution in classrooms. 15 years on Mike Behe a prominent biochemist and ID advocate who took the stand as a defence witness, talks about what the case meant for the ID movement. Joshua Swamidass is a biologist and Christian who is strongly critical of ID. He engages with Behe on the Kitzmiller-Dover case and the ID proponent’s most recent book ‘Darwin Devolves’ which critiques evolutionary theory.

'Critical Race Theory’ is a way of understanding racism through the dynamics of oppressed and oppressor groups. Neil Shenvi believes its worldview is at odds with the Gospel and is concerned at its embrace in evangelical circles.    Rasool Berry, teaching pastor at The Bridge Church NYC believes many Christians are overreacting to CRT. While not adopting it wholesale, he believes CRT can help Christians in the pursuit of reconciliation and justice.    At the end of the show Justin is joined by new team member Ruth Jackson to talk about future plans for Unbelievable?.   For Neil Shenvi: https://shenviapologetics.com/      For Rasool Berry: https://medium.com/@rasoolberry/critical-g-race-theory-the-promise-perils-of-crt-c5de933d55a1    For more from Ruth Jackson: https://www.youthandchildrens.work/    USA listeners check out our new USA website for exclusive resources: www.unbelievable.show    Subscribe to our newsletter and receive the free Unbelievable? e-book ‘In Conversation With…’ https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter        Support the show and receive all the videos sessions from Unbelievable?
