Summary

For decades, we’ve thought the control center of life lies in DNA. But a new scientific framework is emerging that challenges that idea, and suggests that vast portions of the genome are immaterial and lie outside the physical world. Today, physicist Dr. Brian Miller shares his perspective on the cutting-edge, potentially revolutionary research of mathematical biologist Dr. Richard Sternberg on the immaterial aspects of the genome. In this exchange, Dr. Miller shares several examples of the immaterial nature of life. These ideas point towards the earliest stages of the next great scientific revolution and have significant implications for the intelligent design debate. Source

0:00.0	Hey everyone. A quick heads up before we get to today's episode. This fall, Discovery Institute
0:05.2	Academy will be offering both high school biology and high school chemistry for the coming
0:10.2	school year. These high-quality online courses are designed especially for homeschool students.
0:16.2	They cover the fundamentals of biology and chemistry and also introduce students to the powerful
0:21.2	evidence of intelligent design in nature. The courses include video lectures, readings,
0:27.2	lab activities, assignments, and more. They're designed to make it easy to teach science
0:31.8	to your kids. There are options with a live science teacher and an option that is completely
0:36.8	self-paced.
0:37.8	Even if you don't have kids who can participate, can you help us get the word out to those who do?
0:42.5	For a limited time, parents who register their student can get $50 off tuition.
0:47.3	These courses are a wonderful way to raise up the next generation of scientists, scientists
0:52.2	who understand that we and our universe are intelligently designed.
0:56.0	For more information, visit Discovery Institute.com.
1:00.1	That's Discovery Institute.orgatomy. ID, The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
1:14.9	Well, for decades, we've thought the control center of life lies in DNA, but a new scientific framework is emerging that challenges that idea and suggests that vast portions of the genome are immaterial and lie outside the physical

1:31.5	Hey everyone, welcome to ID the Future.
1:33.2	I'm your host, Andrew McDermott.
1:35.1	My guest today is Dr. Brian Miller, and I want to get his perspective on the cutting-edge
1:40.5	potentially revolutionary research of mathematical biologist Dr. Richard Sternberg
