My guest for this episode is independent journalist and author Jeremy R. Hammond. It’s been over a year since the last episode, although with COVID it feels like a decade, and I’m coming back to podcasting with a vengeance by wading into some controversial waters. But that’s what we’re about on this show, so buckle…
My guest for this episode is Brady Sorensen, Employee Health Manager at a hospital in Topeka, KS. He has seen the impact of COVID-19 first-hand and he has some thoughts on the virus and the government’s response to it. Brady has also been immune-compromised since he was 8 months old, so he has a unique…
My guest for episode 12 is Dr. Gordon Wilson, professor of biology at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. In his new book, A Different Shade of Green, he argues that Christians have gotten environmentalism wrong. We’ve tended to fall into a couple extremes–one of supreme indifference as an overreaction to the earth-worshipping activist…
[Subtitle] The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy George Gilder is one of my favorite thinkers. He writes coherently and thoughtfully about a rich variety of topics, and a common theme running through much of his thought over the last 30 years is an optimistic “futurism.” He sees important developments…
Subtitle: The World’s Scientists–in their own words–on Michael E Mann, His Hockey Stick, and their Damage to Science The famous “hockey stick” graph by climatologist Michael Mann, while not the sole foundation for the scientific case in support of anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change, is definitely the main face of it. Used in everything from Al…
Phillip Johnson wrote this in 1997 to equip students for the intellectual battle over evolution in philosophy and science. While it discusses a few scientific points, the primary focus is on the philosophical naturalism that often undergirds evolution-affirming science (and which often remains unacknowledged), and how to challenge it. That question–is philosophical naturalism necessarily and inextricably tied…
We’re going to dive right into a really fascinating book that I think you’ll find very stimulating and enriching. Darwinism is a fascinating topic on many levels. On one hand, it’s recognized throughout the world as the leading–perhaps the only acceptable–theory of how earth and its inhabitants came to be. Its assumptions permeate the media,…
Most people understand science as a clean, straightforward discipline that progresses in a linear fashion, as each generation builds upon the previous’ discoveries and research, inexorably culminating into a more complete understanding of the physical world. Kuhn shows this to be an utter misconception. Traditional, mundane, day-to-day science involves answering obscure and/or secondary questions within…
A devastating critique of Darwinian and neo-Darwinian theories of life’s origins, and a rigorous defense of Intelligent Design as a legitimate and compelling scientific theory. Stephen Meyer is a philosopher of science, and he ably traced the discovery of DNA and its contemporary challenges in his previous book, Signature in the Cell. Now, in Darwin’s…
