Episode 104: The Immune System Marvel of Design with Joe Francis
If creation was originally free of disease and suffering, why do we have such an immune system? Our defense against dangerous germs is intricate, elaborate, and effective, and clearly it was part of God's design for our bodies. So what was the point? Paul and Todd are joined by creation immunologist Joe Francis to discuss the wonders of the immune system, how much of a blessing it really is, and what more it does for us than just police our bodies for germs. This episode is part of our intermittent series on natural evil.
