    171: ID & Sam McKee: Is Intelligent Design Nonsense? (with Casey Luskin & Brian Miller)

    From Casey Luskin: In the original version of this podcast I had an unintentional slip of the tongue where I said that the Whewell Centre is 'in Cambridge University.' This was an accidental mistake, and this is not how I or others normally describe the Whewell Centre. The Whewell Centre is not formally affiliated with Cambridge University and is an 'independent academic centre', as the Whewell Centre website states (https://whewellcentre.uk/), based in the town of Cambridge. The video has now been corrected. Welcome to the Theology & Ethics podcast! In this episode, the Kirkwood Center Team (& guests Casey Luskin & Brian Miller) discuss recent accusations against the Intelligent Design community, chiefly from Sam McKee, & why the ID movement is stronger than ever.
