Summary

Why are some prominent biologists and macro-evolutionists admitting that Darwinian evolution is in trouble and what’s fueling this newfound skepticism? Dr. Casey Luskin, co-author of 'The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith', joins Frank to examine the flaws in macroevolutionary theory that even staunch materialists are finding hard to overlook. Together, they address the following questions: * What are some key differences between micro and macroevolution?* What did later research reveal about the Galápagos Island finches and how does it compare to Darwin's findings?* What is epigenetics and how does it relate to the case for Intelligent Design?* Why are some biologists hesitant to openly share their doubts about Neo-Darwinism, while others are increasingly vocal?* What's the difference between Darwinism and Neo-Darwinism?* What are the strongest arguments for a common ancestor?* Are non-coding regions of the human genome really "junk DNA"?* What about the God of the Gaps argument?* Are proponents of Intelligent Design religiously motivated?* What are the 4 basic L.I.F.E. problems found within macroevolutionary theory?Resources mentioned during the episode:Learn more from Dr. Casey Luskin: https://caseyluskin.com/ (https://caseyluskin.com/)The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith: https://a.co/d/fku8uAc (https://a.co/d/fku8uAc)Why the Royal Society Meeting Mattered, in a Nutshell: https://evolutionnews.org/2016/12/why_the_royal_s/ (https://evolutionnews.org/2016/12/why_the_royal_s/)Digital Voting Guide and Excellent Presentations on Why Christians Should Vote: www.voteyourfaith.net (http://www.voteyourfaith.net/)

Christianity be true? Well it might surprise you to learn that the people that
