This Scientist Says Darwinism Can’t Explain Life… Here’s Why

About this episode

Dr. Doug Axe discusses the limitations of Darwinism in explaining the origin of life.

Today, we sit down with Dr. Doug Axe, a molecular biologist, Caltech and Cambridge researcher, and author of Undeniable. He's here to discuss one of the most consequential questions in science: could a functional protein arise by chance? This protein folding experiment changed everything and is why Doug became a Darwin doubter at Berkeley. Join us Tuesday April 21 at 4:30 PT to follow up on the conversation.
