The Bacterial Flagellum: A Marvel of Nanotechnology

It's one of the rock stars of intelligent design. ID theorists make a fuss over it and rightly so. But even non-ID scientists admit to getting an "awe-inspiring feeling" from the "divine beauty" of the humble bacterial flagellar motor. And why not? It's a marvel of engineering that originated long before human engineering existed. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid asks Dr. Jonathan McLatchie to remind us why this tiny nano-machine is such a big deal.

Sharing the Gospel with Joe Rogan | Guest: Wes Huff | Ep 1138

Allie Beth Stuckey is an Evangelical Christian podcaster. Recently, her guest, Wes Huff, gave a powerful defense of historic Christianity on Joe Rogan's show. This particular episode went viral.

The following is Stuckey's description of her interview with Wes Huff:

Today, we sit down with Wesley Huff, Christian apologist and Central Canada director for Apologetics Canada, to discuss apologetics, proof for the Bible, and his upbringing in a missionary family. He tells us about a rare childhood diagnosis, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, only to experience a miraculous, supernatural healing exactly one month later. We also discuss his experience going on "The Joe Rogan Experience" as well as his debate with Billy Carson a couple of months ago, which ended with Carson sending him a cease and desist letter! And we ask him some of your most pressing apologetics questions.

This podcast is about an hour and ten minutes long.

Michael Behe: A Mousetrap for Darwin

Discovery Science is not a Confessional Lutheran channel and Dr. Michael Behe is not a Confessional Lutheran; however, Confessional Lutherans may find this podcast interesting.

Almost 30 years ago, Dr. Behe published Darwin's Black Box, in which he discusses what he calls Irreducible Complexity and how Darwinian evolution does a poor job of explaining it.

When a system is irreducibly complex, it is comprised of numerous interdependent parts. If one of the parts is removed, the system does function less well. No, if one of the parts is removed, the system ceases to function at all. Behe uses the analogy of a mousetrap. If one of the components of a mousetrap is removed, the mousetrap does not continue to function less efficiently; but rather, it does not function at all.

Similarly, numerous biological systems are irreducibly complex. Some of these are discussed in Behe's first book.

Since publishing Darwin's Black Box, Behe has published other books. His most recent, A Mousetrap for Darwin, is discussed in this 22-minute podcast.
