Summary

On today’s ID the Future, biochemist and metabolic nutritionist Emily Reeves tells the story of the systems biology revolution, why it is intelligent-design friendly, and why it is overturning Darwinian reductionism. This presentation was taped at the 2022 Westminster Conference on Science and Faith in the greater Philadelphia area, which was jointly sponsored by Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and Westminster Theological Seminary.

0:00.0	I d the future a podcast about evolution and intelligent design
0:12.3	hello this is Tom Gilson. There's a new paradigm emerging in biology driven by the
0:17.9	raw power of rapidly accumulating new data. It fits well with predictions made by intelligent design theory
0:25.2	while being nowhere near so consistent with the usual evolutionary
0:29.6	assumptions. It's the systems Biology Revolution and today on ID the future Dr Emily Reeves a
0:37.7	biologist with the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute
0:42.1	explains where this thinking is coming from and some of where
0:46.6	we can expect it to lead.
0:49.0	This is from our presentation at the August 2022 Westminster Conference on Science and Faith, jointly sponsored by the Discovery
0:57.5	Institute and Westminster Theological Seminary. The Systems biology revolution, it really wasn't expected by a lot of scientists.
1:09.0	It might not even have been welcomed by many scientists, but it was a revolution that was necessary.
1:16.0	It was a revolution that really has been driven by the data, specifically big data.
1:21.6	And I'm going to argue today that it was a revolution that was actually predicted by intelligent design. My name is Emily Reeves and today I'm going to be telling you guys about, very excited actually to tell you guys about the systems biology revolution.
1:48.0	So this is a revolution that wasn't expected, this kind of a theme we've been hearing.
1:55.0	What happened is over the past like 20 to 30 years,
1:59.2	the technology that we've been using to do, biology, chemistry, and genetics has actually changed a lot.
2:05.8	It has improved, it has advanced.
2:08.2	And with that advanced technology, we are able to now have a, it producing I guess I should say data that's better
2:16.6	revealing and showing how complex biology actually is. Now some of the key technological advancements that have led to this increased
2:28.6	appreciation for complexity are namely DNA sequencers, mass spectrometry, and of course advanced computing.
2:37.0	So DNA sequencers and mass spectrometry, these two key technological advancements.
2:44.1	They produce big data, like genomic data,
