Summary

Dr. Jonathan Wells was a true giant of the intelligent design research community. As we mourn his recent passing, we also celebrate anew his considerable contributions to the arguments for intelligent design and the debate over evolution. On this episode of ID The Future out of the vault, Dr. Wells continues a conversation with Tom Woodward on The Universe Next Door. Dr. Wells explains more of the icons of evolution he details in his popular book and why much of what we hear about evolution is wrong. Listen in as they discuss Darwin's finches, four-winged fruit flies, humans with tails, and more. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

0:00.0	Today on ID the Future, we're happy to bring you another interview withSC scientists and
0:12.7	host of the universe next door syndicated radio broadcast.
0:16.6	In conjunction with Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture,
0:20.1	Dr Wordward regularly interviews CSC scientists and scholars on various aspects of the debate over Darwinian evolution and intelligent design.
0:31.0	Welcome to the universe next door. Our program today is really exciting because we have back with us on our program Dr Jonathan Wells.
0:40.0	He is an expert in cell biology. He is an expert in other fields such as the history of the

1:28.0	He's written a very important book called The Myth of Junk DNA, which you can get through Discovery Institute. I
1:34.6	recommend it highly. It's a slender but powerful volume. He has written a book which I
1:39.7	use as a textbook in many of my courses it's called the politically incorrect guide.
1:45.6	Isn't that a great name, Bill?
1:47.9	The pig, PIG, they actually have a little of a pig symbol throughout the book.
1:51.3	We've put the Politically and
1:52.6	Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and intelligent design and it is tied with
1:57.9	another book called Darwin Strikes Back as a great, oh a pretty good book. As a great overview of this whole area.
2:05.0	I think that they should be read in tandem.
