Evolution trumps intelligent design 272
Here is a long video (nearly 2 hours) which is thoroughly worth watching. Scientist Ken Miller’s lecture on evolution versus intelligent design is absorbingly interesting and often very amusing.
Continue listening into question time. One of the questioners suggests that evolutionists – and so by implication atheists – must be on the political left.
The fact that many atheists think this way, and are probably driven leftward by their non-belief in the existence of God, shows how important it is for those who think as we do to demonstrate that conservative politics fit easily with atheism.
The lecture itself carries this message in the fascinating story of a Republican judge who came down firmly on the side of those who argued for evolution.
