Summary

Can evolution and intelligent design work together in harmony? Or is that wishful thinking? On this ID The Future, host Casey Luskin concludes his conversation with philosopher Dr. Stephen Dilley about a recent proposal to marry mainstream evolutionary theory with a case for intelligent design. Dr. Dilley outlines the scientific problems with Kojonen's proposal and explains why it contradicts our natural intuition to detect design. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Be sure to catch Part 1, and look for more interviews with others on this topic soon.

0:00.0	I.
0:04.0	I D. The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
0:12.0	Hello and welcome to ID the Future. Can design and evolution be wetted in a happy
0:16.8	marriage? I'm Casey Luskin and today we have on the show with us Dr.
0:20.3	Steve Dilly. Steve Dilly is academic mentoring coordinator and Senior Fellow at Discovery
0:26.0	Institute Center for Science and Culture.
0:28.2	He holds a PhD in Philosophy from Arizona State University and was a professor for 14 years at State Edwards
0:34.1	University in Austin, Texas. We recently had Dr. Dilly on the show with us to
0:38.9	discuss a book titled The Compatibility in Design by a University of Helsinki theologian named Robeke-Jonen, where he argues that
0:48.0	evolution design not only are compatible, but they can be wetted in a very happy marriage that basically makes a very robust
0:54.9	case for design.
0:57.0	And Kajodin seeks to wet mainstream evolutionary theory with design and say that together they're compatible and you can use
1:04.4	mainstream revolutionary theory to make a case for design. In the previous
1:08.5	podcast we discussed with Dr. Dilly what Professor Gudonin's thesis is and what some of the basic problems are.
1:15.3	We were discussing why the scientific evidence matters to Gajonin's thesis and where all this is going.
1:21.7	So Steve, thank you so much for coming back on the show with us.
1:24.8	Yeah, Casey, great to be here.
1:26.9	Well, I'm glad we can continue this conversation
1:28.8	because as we said in the first podcast,
1:31.0	we think this is an important book.
1:32.4	It's a good work of scholarship, even though we ultimately
1:34.8	disagree with it. It raises very important questions about how do we detect design, whether design
