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

Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host Eric Anderson, and I'm pleased to be joined again today by Dr. Howard Glickman to continue our discussion about the many challenges life has to overcome in order to continue to survive.

Dr. Glickman practices palliative medicine and is co-author of the recent book, Your Designed Body.

Welcome, Howard.

Thanks, Eric. It's great to be back.

So last time we challenged the notion that the natural result of physics, even as wonderful

and as fine-tuned as physics may be, would lead to living organisms.

In fact, we saw that the natural result of physics and chemistry left to their own devices

is to cause death, not life.

So for those who might just be joining us, Howard, maybe very briefly explain what you

mean by that, and then I'd like to dive into a few more details. Yeah. So what I'm basically saying

is that the idea of Darwinism is basic is that to say that the laws of nature on their own, left

of their own devices can cause life. But with how we know, we know that they actually cause death.

And what we talked about last time was we looked at two laws of nature, diffusion and

osmosis.

We looked at the cell level because we looked at the water and it solutes.

So the cell, the cell has water inside it and it has high potassium, low sodium and high protein, whereas the water outside

the cell has high sodium, low potassium, and low protein. So the fusion and osmosis, when left

to their own devices, they're going to cause the sodium and the water to enter the cell

and potassium to go out. And when that happens, it causes death. And the innovation

that life has to come up with to solve this problem is something called the sodium potassium

pump. And you have about a million of them in each of your cells. And at rest, they use up about
