Summary

Can artificial intelligence be applied to the scientific theory of Darwinian evolution to help us evaluate its strengths and weaknesses? On this episode of ID The Future, host Casey Luskin concludes his conversation with two distinguished PhD scientists who are asking tough questions of Neo-Darwinism: Olen Brown, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Missouri, and David Hullender, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas, Arlington. In Part 2, Luskin discusses the latest paper from Brown and Hullender arguing that AI has strong but unrealized potential both for assessing and also solving major problems with the prevailing naturalistic account of life's origins. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

0:03.0	I D the Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
0:12.0	Welcome to I. We have two professors in the sciences back with us on the show today.
0:18.0	Professors Olin Brown and David Hollander who are going to talk about some of their scientific papers, peer-reviewed
0:24.2	papers that have been challenging to Darwinian evolution and even supportive of
0:28.4	intelligence design. We had another podcast with them recently but to give them
0:32.4	another introduction here,
0:34.0	Olen Brown holds a PhD in microbiology from the University of Oklahoma Norman, and he's Professor
0:39.1	Emeritus of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Missouri, where he's worked in the John M Dalton Cardiovascular
0:45.9	Research Center, the graduate school and the School of Medicine.
0:49.2	And he's done research on the chemistry, biology, and medical uses of oxygen, free radical mechanisms of toxicity,

1:01.2	David Hollander holds a PhD in mechanical engineering from MIT. mechanism. Arlington where he is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
1:14.6	Some of his research has dealt with the inertial navigation in the defense and
1:18.6	aerospace industries and he's done research on modeling the simulation of fluids,
1:23.5	including studying blood flow and blood pressure.
1:26.6	So Professor Brown and Hollander, thank you both for coming back on the show again.
1:31.5	That's welcome to be back.
1:33.0	Thank you.
1:34.0	I enjoyed it very much.
1:36.0	Okay, well let's continue with our conversation.
