Summary

To understand the limitations of evolutionary mechanisms, we have to "bite the bullet of complexity," as biochemist Michael Behe writes. And to appreciate complexity, we have to experience it. On this ID The Future, Dr. Jonathan McLatchie takes us on a deep dive into the structure and biochemistry of muscles to gain a better understanding of their incredible design properties.

0:00.0	I d the future a podcast about evolution and intelligent design
0:12.3	welcome to ID the future I'm your host Andrew McDermott. Today I'm
0:16.6	welcoming back Dr. Jonathan McClatchy to discuss the intelligent design of
0:20.9	muscles. Dr McClatchy is a fellow and resident biologist at the Discovery
0:25.7	Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He was previously an assistant professor
0:30.3	at Sadler College in Boston where he lectured biology for four years.
0:34.8	McClatchi holds a bachelor's degree in forensic biology, a master's degree in
0:39.6	evolutionary biology, a second master's in medical and molecular bioscience, and a PhD in
0:45.8	evolutionary biology. His research interests include the scientific
0:49.7	evidence of design and nature, arguments for the existence of God, and New Testament scholarship.
0:55.2	Jonathan is also founder and director of Talk About Douboubts.com.
0:59.8	Jonathan, it's great to have you with me again.
1:02.4	Great to be back.
1:03.0	Thanks very much for having me.
1:05.0	You're welcome.
1:06.0	Well, as we learn more about biological systems,
1:08.0	we're also learning that perhaps the best way to study these systems
1:12.0	is through an engineering lens.
1:14.8	The bodies of animals and humans contain a vast network of integrated systems all working together
1:20.6	to sustain life.
1:22.4	It's helpful to remember that the laws of nature by
1:24.7	themselves don't tend toward life. They actually tend toward degradation and death.
