Summary

In a podcast special, atheist scientist Adam Rutherford and Christian biochemist Fazale (Fuz) Rana of Reasons To Believe, discuss the latest advances in synthetic bio-engineering and whether they support or contradict the view that life is a product of design. In the second of 2 programmes they explain the latest scientific advances in attempting to create simple synthetic life in the laboratory and how this research may be of benefit. Fuz contends that the amount of ingenuity and intelligence required to produce life in the lab lends strong support to the view that life on earth is a product of an intelligent mind. Adam Rutherford, whose new book is called "Creation: The Future of life" disagrees. Fuz is a speaker at Unbelievable? the Conference 2013 www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable2013 For more discussion between Christians and non-Christians visit www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable Join the conversation via Facebook and Twitter For Adam Rutherford's new book http://goo.gl/ZqaE0 For Fuz Rana http://www.reasons.org/about/who-we-are/fazale-rana For "Creating Life in the Lab" http://goo.gl/HoLra Get the MP3 podcast of Unbelievable? http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx or Via Itunes You may also enjoy: Unbelievable? 23 Oct 2010 - Darwin's Black Box - Michael Behe & Keith Fox debate Intelligent Design Unbelievable? 28th April 2012 - A Universe From Nothing - Lawrence Krauss & Rodney Holder
