rav·el /ˈravəl/ verb 1. untangle or unravel something.
noun 1. a tangle or cluster.
The message of the Bible is simple enough for a child to understand but complex enough to keep scholars exploring for a lifetime. Like a beautifully woven tapestry, it’s made up of many threads that come together to form a beautiful whole. Ravel is a podcast where we explore the scriptures in a new and exciting way, examining the threads to gain a brighter view of THE BIG PICTURE. Ravel dives into the deep waters of society, scripture and scandal, seeking to bring new perspectives on ancient issues and explore the broad range of the Christian experience and it's many forms. Join Basil and Christopher as they (un)ravel these threads and discover what may have been left out on Sunday morning!

    The Intelligent Design and Irriducible Complexities of Michael Behe

    The Intelligent Design and Irriducible Complexities of Michael Behe

    According to Wikipedia: "Michael Behe is an American biochemist and author, widely known as an advocate of the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design (ID). He serves as professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Behe is best known as an advocate for the validity of the argument for irreducible complexity (IC), which claims that some biochemical structures are too complex to be explained by known evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore probably the result of intelligent design."
    But that's not the whole story. Wikipedia (surprise surprise) gets some things wrong about Mr. Behe!

    Today, the Ravel Boys go deep - exploring concepts like intelligent design, irreducible complexity and the scientific industrial complex. We also give Michael an opportunity Wikipedia never has: to set the record straight!

Jezreel Jarvis ,

Well done!

Thank you brothers for the cold glass of spiritual hydration in a time when things are heating up. From the music, to the responses.. Very refreshing.

I’ve heard things that get me excited about the faith, and also some helpful words that have brought me peace when looking at the world.

Highest praises to the Father for working through you; I appreciate the insight. Well done gentlemen, well done.
