Walter's response, I think, was timeless.

He says, I'm sorry, sir.

I'm not the one with the limitations.

It's you with the limitations.

You live in a little silo of materialism and naturalism.

Everything has to fit within that.

I, on the other hand, I can accept the natural things, but I also see the things which are outside of it.

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

Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Andrew McDermott.

Well, today, Dr. Robert J. Marks joins me to share some of his experiences and memories

of another precious person, Dr. Walter Bradley,

a scientist, humanitarian, and trailblazer in the world of intelligent design, who passed

away this summer at the age of 81. Walter received his BS degree in engineering science in

1965 and his PhD in Material Science and engineering in 1968, both from the University of

Texas, Austin. He taught at the Colorado School of Minds at Texas A&M University as full professor

of mechanical engineering and for 10 years at Baylor University as a distinguished professor

of mechanical engineering. He was also a distinguished fellow at Discovery Institute. Walter was a trailblazer in the Intelligent Design Movement, co-authoring a book called The Mystery of Life's Origin in 1984. That was a groundbreaking work now in its second edition. And we'll talk about that in this interview. The book deeply influenced

figures like Stephen Meyer, Douglas Axe, and Jay Richards, as well as countless others.

Walter catalyzed a new generation of inquiry into life's beginnings. His bold commitment to

truth and inquiry earned him appearances and Lee Strobel's documentary,

the case for faith. And in the documentary movie, expelled, no intelligence allowed.

Bob, it's great to have you here to talk about Walter today. Thank you, Andrew. It's one of my favorite people to talk about. He's a hero of mine. Yeah, and I did not have the privilege of knowing him, so I would like to get to know him
