Intelligent Design on trial. 15 years on from Kitzmiller-Dover – Mike Behe and Joshua Swamidass
In 2005 a high profile trial saw the Dover School District taken to court for promoting Intelligent Design (ID) as an alternative theory to evolution in classrooms. 15 years on Mike Behe a prominent biochemist and ID advocate who took the stand as a defence witness, talks about what the case meant for the ID movement.
Joshua Swamidass is a biologist and Christian who is strongly critical of ID. He engages with Behe on the Kitzmiller-Dover case and the ID proponent’s most recent book ‘Darwin Devolves’ which critiques evolutionary theory.

Customer Reviews
Mike UK
Great podcast - you may not agree with all the views expressed but it will make you think. Also the podcast will introduce you to a rss as mad of ideas and thinkers often overlooked in the academy.
Do you have any female guests?
I was tempted to listen but a quick skim down the list and I can’t find a single female guest. Maybe they are there in earlier episodes but don’t really feel like searching. I’m not interested in listening to a podcast on Christianity that ignores half of humanity.
Magic Budgie
Brilliant podcast with a range of guests
