Welcome to Idy the Future, a podcast about intelligent design and evolution.

Welcome to Idy the Future, a podcast of the Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture.

I'm Joshua Yonkin. Today we're pleased to present an interview with CSC Senior Fellow, Dr. Michael Denton.

Dr. Denton has been a medical geneticist for over 20 years, a researcher on the mammalian eye,

and is the author of two books, Evolution of Theory and Crisis,

and, more recently, Nature's Destiny.

He holds an MD from Bristol University and a PhD in Biochemistry from King's College, London.

On today's podcast, Dr. Denton observes that the insect body plan were fixed long ago, have not changed, and are for several

reasons better understood as instances of predetermined type rather than as a collection of historically

contingent adaptations. This predetermination of type denton reasons is the product of laws of form,

inexplicable and even invisible on a mechanistic view of nature.

My anti-Darwinism has always had different components. It's pluralistic. I'm not just

skeptical about Darwinism because living things are very complicated and how on earth could they

have come about by random processes. That's a sort of a gut intuition I have, and I think that

intuition has actually shared really very widely by many biologists who won't admit it.

But I'm pretty sure of it. But there's also other aspects of the biological world, the realm of

the natural world, which

are difficult to account for in terms of Darwinism, apart from the very great complexity

of living things.

This is the sort of focus of Doug Axe of Steve Meyer and Dembski.

That's the sort of how come all the complexity of living things could come about by Darwinism.

That's one very powerful argument, right?
