Summary

Was the universe designed to evolve through natural processes? In a recent book, theologian Dr. Rope Kojonen has argued that evolutionary mechanisms work in harmony with intelligent design to produce the diversity of life we see on earth. But can these fundamentally different processes really work together? On this ID The Future, host Casey Luskin speaks with physicist Dr. Brian Miller to explore why Kojonen's theory fails on scientific grounds. This interview is part of a series responding to Kojonen's proposal. Catch other episodes in the series at idthefuture.com or through your favorite podcasting app.

I d the future a podcast about evolution and intelligent design

0:12.0

can evolution and evolution and design be syncretized?

0:15.0

Welcome to I'd of the future.

0:16.6

Today we're going to discuss that question with Dr. Brian Miller.

0:20.6

Brian Miller has a PhD in complex systems physics from Duke University.

0:25.0

I call him a polymath because he's got major expertise in areas like protein evolution,

0:30.0

the origin of life, all of which are relevant to our discussion that we're going to have today.

0:35.0

So Brian, thank you so much for being on the show with us today.

0:38.3

Thank you for having me.

0:40.4

So to give some background, I'm sure that most folks would guess that if you want to try to synthesize design and evolution, it probably depends on what you mean by design and what you mean by evolution.

0:51.6

And in some cases, perhaps it is very easy

0:54.6

to syncretize design and evolution.

0:57.2

Well, in the last few years, a valiant attempt

0:59.9

at trying to synthesize design and evolution

1:02.5

has been attempted by a theologian

1:05.0

at the University of Health, Sinking,

1:06.3

named Evie Ropeke, Jonin.

1:08.7

It's a valiant attempt at synthesizing design and evolution.

1:11.8

We would say it's ultimately unsuccessful, but it was a very good try and a very thoughtful try nonetheless.

1:18.0

In 2021, Kajonin published a very thoughtful and serious book titled The Compatibility of Evolution and Design with

1:25.4

Paul Great McMillan and Springer Nature. And in the book, Kajona basically argues that

1:29.7

evolution and design can be harmonized, but he isn't just saying that evolution design are
