People say, oh, evolution did that or natural selection.

National selection doesn't make anything, right?

You have to have the changes to get a new system that, okay, maybe get preserved.

Okay, that's different.

But natural selection doesn't make anything.

ID, the future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.

In a universe of non-living space and matter, life is extremely rare.

And in order to stay alive, humans and other organisms have to overcome a myriad of engineering

challenges.

Just how is this done? And more to the point, is an evolutionary process capable of producing

the solutions to these many challenges? Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Andrew McDermott.

Well, today I conclude my conversation with Dr. Howard Glickman, co-author with

engineer Steve Loughman of the new book, Your Amazing Body. The book is a fresh, abridged version

of their previous book, Your Design Body. Dr. Glickman has been a general practitioner and

hospice physician for decades. He's now a consultant who mentors hospice physicians in the

management of fluid overload, especially due to heart failure. He received his MD from the University

of Toronto. Now in part one, we set the stage by discussing how Dr. Glickman's qualifications

and his experience as a physician prepared him to write this book.

We also looked at the fruitfulness of bringing together an engineer and a physician

to explore how the human body overcomes the many challenges it needs to to stay alive.

Today, we're going to dive into examples of those challenges and solutions and why Darwinian

evolution cannot adequately explain how life prevails against the odds.
