The Pat Flynn Show

This podcast features a friendly, but spirited debate between Dr. Michael Behe and Dr. Joshua Swamidass over intelligent design, especially as it relates to the notion of "irreducible complexity" and the challenge this poses (as Dr. Behe would argue) to modern evolutionary theory. Dr. Behe is the recent author of Darwin Devolves, to which Dr. Swamidass (author of The Genealogical Adam and Eve) has responded to critically here. Behe’s own responses can be found here. Previously, I’ve had Mike on to debate Dr. Stacy Trasancos and to field objections from John DeRosa and myself. Mentioned Resources/Articles Darwin's Black Box and Darwin Devolves The Genealogical Adam and Eve Paul Draper's criticism of irreducible complexity here.  Behe's response to Draper's criticism here.  The Pat Flynn Show If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you could subscribe to, and leave a review for, The Pat Flynn show on iTunes HERE or Stitcher HERE.
