About this episode
Dr. Michael Behe discusses how advancements in science increasingly point to the existence of a designer, challenging strict materialism.
Dr. Michael Behe, biochemist and professor at Lehigh University, has spent his career making a case that most scientists would rather not hear. The concept he became famous for, irreducible complexity, argues that the molecular machinery inside living cells is so intricately assembled that removing a single part causes the entire system to collapse. Darwin thought the closer you looked at biology, the simpler it would get. The opposite turned out to be true, and that discovery has never stopped being inconvenient for strict materialism. Science pointing beyond itself, the mind behind the machinery, and what a young generation deserves to know: Dr. Behe walks through why he joined The Story of Everything, how the fine-tuning of the universe and the information embedded in DNA both point insistently toward a designer, and why the mainstream scientific establishment continues to resist conclusions that the evidence increasingly demands. He also shares his go-to argument for God — not from biochemistry, but from the one thing every person already knows they have — a mind — and why that single observation, followed honestly, leads somewhere materialists cannot…
