Podcasts about Charles Darwin

2023 marks the bicentennial of the birth of Alfred Russel Wallace, co-founder with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Unlike Darwin, Wallace thought that biology, chemistry, and cosmology proclaimed clear evidence of intelligent design. On this episode of ID the Future out of the vault, we're celebrating the life and achievements of one of the godfathers of intelligent design. Host Michael Keas begins a conversation with historian Michael Flannery about his book Nature's Prophet: Alfred Russel Wallace and His Evolution from Natural Selection to Natural Theology. The book traces the intellectual history of Wallace, who is credited with independently proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin insisted on a purely materialistic version of the theory, but as Wallace studied the evidence, he grew convinced that intelligent design also played a role in the history of life, particularly in the origin of humans. Though not a religious person, he broke with the rising scientism of his day to argue that there must be some “overruling intelligence” behind nature. This is Part 1 of a 3-part interview. Source

No parece mucho, pero en este tiempo la hemos visto cambiar y desarrollarse, día a día, casi hora a hora. Hemos visto cómo ese bichillo pequeñajo de ojos achinados que era al nacer, se ha ido convirtiendo en una personita, que no para de moverse y que, aunque no domine aún el lenguaje, tiene claro lo que quiere. Bueno, en realidad, eso último no es nuevo: mandona ha sido siempre. Lo de llamarla pequeña dictadora no era gratuito. Hay cosas con las que claramente se nace. Te decía al final de la pasada temporada que tener hijos conlleva un cierto efecto perspectiva, una sensación parecida a la que sienten los astronautas al ver nuestro planeta desde el espacio. Ellos se asombran de lo frágil, minúscula y solitaria que parece la Tierra flotando en mitad de la nada. Y aunque mi obsesión viene de antes, creo que ver nacer y crecer a un hijo es una de las experiencias vitales que más se asemejan a esa sensación. Nos pone cara a cara frente a ese gran misterio que es la vida. El misterio de cómo empezó todo y de qué demonios hacemos nosotros aquí. Y aunque son preguntas para las que ni tenemos, ni seguramente tengamos nunca, respuestas definitivas, sí hay algunas que hemos ido encontrando por el camino. En el anterior capítulo hablamos de cómo creemos que nació el Universo, cómo se formó la Tierra y cómo ésta se llenó de agua, el elemento fundamental para nuestras vidas, hasta convertirse en aquella canica azul que fascinó a los astronautas.Y lo dejamos ahí, justo antes de enfrentarnos a otras dos preguntas complicadas: ¿qué es la vida y cómo surgió en nuestro planeta? Pues hala, ya tenemos tema para hoy. Empezamos la temporada con cosas sencillitas.

Is intelligent design an argument from ignorance? Is it a modern version of creationism? Can its claims be backed up by experimental results? On this ID The Future from the vault, Dr. Stephen Meyer debates Keith Pannell, a chemist at the University of Texas at El Paso and host of the NPR affiliate KTEP program Science Studio. Pannell also brings on biologist Ricardo Bernal as a co-host. We often say that Darwinists are reluctant to debate advocates of intelligent design, but here are two who deserve a tip of the hat. Pannell and Bernal tow the standard materialist line, but they're civil and give Meyer room to make his case. And as always, Meyer delivers. The discussion was likely an education for these two Texas scientists. Meyer patiently explains how intelligent design is different from creationism in epistemology as well as methodology. He notes that intelligent design uses the same historical methods of reasoning that Charles Darwin pioneered in the Origin of Species. Pannell is convinced that intelligent design is an argument from ignorance. Not at all, says Meyer. It's a positive case based on our uniform and repeated experience as well as on everything we know about the nature of information. The interview was occasioned by the anniversary of the Dover trial, a topic which comes up in the conversation. Wasn't the debate over intelligent design over after Dover? Not even close, says Meyer. We don't look to federal judges to settle deep, imponderable scientific questions. There are different disciplines for that. Meyer rounds out the discussion by elucidating on molecular machines and the type of information that contemporary Darwinian theory is given credit for without justification. Source

Dr Erica McAlister uncovers a treasure trove of remarkable insects from the humble flea whose jump enables them to fly without wings and the mystery of the hawkmoth's tongue, whose varying length has offered the simplest and most effective proof of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection in action.

In India, schoolteachers and pupils alike are grappling with the Hindu nationalist government's rewriting and sanitising of textbooks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has extensively revised secondary school curricula, removing all mention of the country's Mughal and Muslim history, which spanned some six centuries, as well as the identity of the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi and even Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Officially, the aim of the changes was to lighten the workload for pupils after the two-year closure of schools during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the reform has been criticised by a number of Indian historians and scientists. Our correspondents report.

En 1831, con apenas 22 años, Charles Darwin se embarcó en una expedición científica que lo llevó por América y Oceanía. A su vuelta, cinco años después, traía consigo el germen de la teoría de la evolución.

This was the first ever episode of The Wild Life back in 2017, and it was never supposed to happen. That's right, The Wild Life, as a podcast, was an accident. The result of a series of unfortunate events. But that's life, isn't it? It happens in the most unexpected of ways. I never imagined that this is where I would be today, and I'm so incredibly grateful for the experience and all those who have been a part of it, as guests, as listeners, and as people who believed in the work I was doing and helped me to succeed.The mystery of zebra stripes has long been a subject of debate, at least since the days of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Now, thanks to Dr. Tim Caro, a professor of wildlife biology at the University of California-Davis, we finally have our answer.Next week, we're exploring Shark Conservation with Alexandra McInturf!If you'd like to support the creation of this show, the blog, and my science communication efforts on social media, you can do so for as little as $1 per month at www.patreon.com/thewildlifePeace out, rainbow trouts!

Influenced by a long line of materialist thinkers, Charles Darwin proposed the mechanism of natural selection as a substitute for God. But how does his theory's explanatory power measure up to recent scientific discoveries? On this ID The Future, physicist Brian Miller discusses the resurgence of natural theology in modern science with Pat Flynn, co-host of the Philosophy for the People podcast. Natural theology advances arguments for God based on reason and the discoveries of science. It's an ancient pursuit that fell out of favor in the 19th century as a materialist account of life's origins took center stage. But scientific findings of the last century point to mind, not a mindless process, as the likeliest explanation for a life-friendly universe. As a result, the pendulum is swinging back to teleology, ushering in a new heyday for natural theology. In addition to giving an historical overview of natural theology, Dr. Miller and Flynn also discuss fundamental problems in origin of life studies that demand a better explanation than materialists can offer. Miller speaks plainly about the problem: “Here's the fundamental challenge,” he says. “All natural processes tend to create greater disorder (entropy)…The origin of life requires chemicals to go into a state of both high order and high energy. That never happens without help!” This is Part 1 of a 2-part discussion. With thanks to Pat Flynn and the Philosophy for the People podcast for permission to share this interview. Source

For those of us who enjoy spending time away from man-made concrete jungles, observing the mathematical perfection of the universe and its natural laws, we quickly realize how small and insignificant we are and how wrong we've been on so many topics. On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin was published in 1859, and it's taken us over a hundred and fifty years to realize just how utterly ridiculous the theory is. Today, Paul & Mike are honored to welcome fellow Pinelander, and author of Common Sense vs. Evolution, Shane Anderson into the G Base to discuss the cornerstone of atheism and why academia continues to cling to it with white knuckles in spite of the ever growing, overwhelming body of evidence to the contrary.

I greet you in Jesus' precious Name. It is Monday morning, the 21st of August 2023, and this is your friend Angus Buchan with a thought for today. We start in Ecclesiastes 3:11:"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end." Then we go to Acts 17:23:"...for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you..."Every human being knows that there is a God, a Creator, because you and I are made in His image and He has put eternity into our hearts. You see we are constructed - spirit, soul and body. The spirit never dies. The soul is your character, your personality. Then, you have a physical body. You see the cattle in the field, they have a soul and a body, but they do not have a spirit because God has put eternity in our hearts. People know there is a God. They've never met him personally and don't know his Name. There is no such thing, I believe, as an atheist - oh no, it can't be, because God has put eternity in our hearts.They say Charles Darwin, the man who said that we are descendants of apes, his wife was a very strong follower of Jesus and on his deathbed he acknowledged that there was a Creator. Even the most primitive people living in the jungle believe in a Higher being, they know that there is a Creator. You can go right up to the Arctic Circle, the Inuit people will tell you that there is a Creator. You can go into the Amazon Jungle, and they will tell you that there is a higher being, they just haven't met Him by name. You know a beautiful scripture in 1 Timothy 3:16 says, and I'm reading out of The Message:He appeared in a human body,was proved right by the invisible Spirit,was seen by angels.He was proclaimed among all kinds of peoples,believed in all over the world,taken up into heavenly glory.His Name is Jesus Christ. He's my best friend. I want to tell you, He saved me. Go out today and tell somebody that there is a God and His Name is Jesus.Have a wonderful day. God bless you and goodbye.

On this episode of ID the Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his series with Nancy Pearcey discussing the arguments of her 2018 article "You Guys Lost! Is Design a Closed Issue?". Here, Pearcey explains what historians know, but few of the rest of us do: If anything, Charles Darwin's science grew out of his naturalistic philosophy, not the other way around. "He started with a philosophical conviction," says Pearcey, "and then started looking for a theory to validate it." Pearcey also discusses one of Darwin's fiercest defenders, his “bulldog” T.H. Huxley, who liked Darwinism more for its philosophy than its science. And even Darwin admitted the evidence wasn't all it could or should be. A closer examination of Darwin's ideas, and his frank and honest acknowledgements about his own theory, shows he wasn't nearly as dogmatic as many of his followers. This is an important thing to remember as we continue to evaluate the legacy of Darwin's arguments today. Source

Are you confused with all the time management and productivity advice floating around? I know I was, and all this information can and does cause inaction. This week I will show a way through the deluge of information.  You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Email Mastery Course The Working With… Weekly Newsletter The FREE Beginners Guide To Building Your Own COD System Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Episode 287 | Script Hello, and welcome to episode 286 of the Working With Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host for this show. When I began my journey into the digital time management and productivity world in 2009, there was a lot of information on how to use the new technology emerging with smart phones. This evolution (or maybe revolution) in the world of productivity was exciting and blogs and podcasts were full of information on turning your digital devices into productivity powerhouses that promised to automate the work we were doing.  The trouble is, back then, as now, much of that information was contradictory. Common ones are things like don't check mail in the morning, (silly advice) and micro-manage your calendar (more silly advice).  The reality is when it comes to productivity and managing your time it's important to find a way that works for you. It's about knowing when you are at your most focused and when you are easily distracted. Trying to squeeze yourself into the way other people work is not going to work for you and the way you work.  So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks: hi Carl, over the last year or so I've become so overwhelmed with my work and life. I was given more responsibilities at work and at the same time my wife gave birth to twin daughters that need a lot of attention. I began reading and watching content on getting better organised and being more productive and have just become so confused. Everyone is giving different advice. How would you build better habits and routines that would make you more productive?  Hi Michael, great question.  In many ways, I am lucky because my journey into becoming better at managing time and being more productive began in the late 1980s / early 90s. There were no blogs, podcasts and YouTube channels then. All we had were books and the occasional article in magazines and newspapers. This meant, while there were still contradictions, it also slowed us down and allowed us time to test ideas and concepts and give them enough time before attempting to try something else. And that is often the first big mistake people make. Not giving a concept or idea long enough to work.  Change is hard. Changing behaviour is even harder and takes time. You are not going to get a new concept working in 24 hours, a week or even two or three months. You need to give anything new at least six months. You need to learn to use the system, develop the habits and muscle memory.  And that means if you change an app, you put yourself under a moratorium for six months. You do not change it for six months. This has two benefits. It gives you time to really learn how to use the app and it causes you to hesitate before changing something. If you know that by changing your task manager means you are stuck with whatever you change to for six months, you will question yourself about whether the time and energy cost is worth it.  Now watching and learning from others is actually a good idea. But, it's not about copying their system and tools, it means seeing how they overcome similar problems to you. Not all people talking about productivity and time management have the same issues as you. I remember four or five years ago, I liked how Thomas Frank did his videos, but what he was teaching was how to manage time as a student. I was not a student, however, there were some ideas Thomas gave me about managing information that I did incorporate into my own file management system.  I learned a lot of my time management concepts from people like Hyrum Smith, Stephen Covey, Brain Tracy, Jim Rohn, David Allen and Tony Robbins. These are the pioneers of modern day time management and productivity and you only need to look at the results they have achieved individually to see their systems and methods work.  A lot of what you see on YouTube, for example, are videos on how other people manage their work and they make it look slick, efficient and beautiful. But that's not always a system. That's video editing. With the power of video editing you can make anything look fantastic. It does not mean it works in the real world.  I saw a comment on one of my videos recently that made me smile because the person who wrote it has got it. The quote comes from the movie Maverick and it's: "It's not the plane, it's the pilot." And when it comes to apps, it's never the tool that causes the problem. It's how you use the tool that does most of the damage. A hammer will put a nail into a hole very easily. Used incorrectly, though, the hammer can do a lot of damage—although a good beating on the cylinder head with a hammer did solve the problem my old Mitsubishi Colt used to have.  One the earliest lessons I learned about time management and productivity was that the work won't get done if all I do is rearrange lists and organise my stuff. The only way work gets done is if I do the work.  All you need to know, when you begin the day, is what needs to be done today. Not, necessarily, what you would like to do today. Then, get on and do it.  Now there are different strategies for doing your work. For instance, you may be more focused in a morning. If that's so, you can take Brian Tracy's concept of beginning the day with the hardest, most difficult task—the Eat The Frog concept. But, if you find yourself more focused in the afternoons, then you could schedule time in the afternoon for a couple of hours focused work. Find the time you are at your best and do your best work then.  Let's return to the heart of your question, Michael. How would I build better habits and routines to become more productive? I would first read three books. David Allen's Getting Things Done because that will give you insights into task management and collecting your commitments and deciding what needs to be done. I would read James Clear's Atomic Habits, because that will show you how to build habits that stick and also gives some fascinating insights into your own psychology. And finally, I would read Brian Tracy's Eat The Frog as that will explain the importance of doing over everything else.  Armed with the knowledge you will gain from those three books, you can then set about building a system that works for the way you work.  The objective is to get the right things done each week and to eliminate the unnecessary. Rushing to do everything is not the best strategy because what you think may need doing now, often doesn't need doing at all if you leave a couple of days—things have a habit of sorting themselves out (a lot more than you think)  Right now, with your twin daughters, I would say that family is your number one priority. The question then is how can you maximise your time with your family? As that involves your daughters and wife, you want to be working with them and making sure you are there when they need you. It may mean you have to be very strict about when you do your work and when you are not at work.  One thing I would not reject out of hand is working later in the evening. I remember reading about Michael Dell (of Dell computers). Back in the 1990s when he had a young family he would ensure he was home by 6pm every day to be with his family. His kids were usually in bed by 9:30pm and once they were asleep, he would spend an hour dealing with his emails and other matters before ending the day. It's surprising how much work you can get done in the evening when things have settled down. I know I've done some of my best work later into the evening when everything quietens down.  That was a trick I learned from Winston Churchill. He was a prolific writer as well as a politician and he would retire to his study at 10pm every evening to do work for two hours. It must have worked because over his lifetime Churchill published over forty books and they were not small books. His book on the Duke of Marlborough, for example, was over a million words long!  However, if you are a morning person, perhaps getting a couple of hours in before your kids wake up would work. Tim Cook of Apple begins his work day at 4 AM and then goes to the gym at 6 AM.  This is why reading about successful people and how they manage their time will give you ideas and insights. Try them. Remember, you won't see results immediately, you are building habits and that takes time. Be patient.  Much of what I do today is very different from what I did five years ago. For example, I didn't journal. I have added that to my repertoire in the last four years. It's habit I love doing now and I am still excited to start my day by writing in my journal. I learned about the importance of journaling by reading Ryan Holiday's books on Stoicism and Robin Sharma's 5 AM Club.  Ten years ago, I didn't plan my day the night before, now it's a habit and I cannot go to bed without knowing what two things I must get done the next day. (It took around six months to develop that habit). If I remember, I got that idea from reading about NLP—Neuro-linguistic Programming. That concept teaches you that you can get your subconscious brain to a lot of the hard work while you are sleeping by using something called “Intention Implementation”.  So, what I do recommend is you read the three books above, study successful people and how they managed their work. Charles Darwin is a great example of structuring days. You can Google Charles Darwin's daily routine. His daily walks and time spent with his rock—his wife, had a huge impact on his output.  From these resources, you can develop your own habits and structures that may need modifying over time, but begin with what is important to you and build on that.  Thank you, Michael for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.   

The central bank in Moscow prepares to hold a special meeting as the currency falls sharply against the US dollar. Also: The US, UN and West African leaders condemn threats by Niger's coup leaders to prosecute the ousted president. And 200 people follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin, setting sail on the same route he took around the world.

Salisbury was back for his third term in office, but for now without a majority in the House of Commons. He had to form a government, and for the first time it would include Liberal Unionists as ministers. One of them, Joseph Chamberlain, surprised Salisbury by choosing to be named Secretary of State for the Colonies in preference to either of the great posts he'd been offered. It seemed that imperialism mattered more to him. With a government in place, Salisbury took the country to a general election. He won with a landslide. In this episode, however, we take a break from all that to look at some of the great breakthroughs, other than his electoral triumph, taking place at that time, specifically in the sciences. Physics was surging. So were the life sciences. So indeed was medicine, but we'll come back to that next week, when we look at women in that male-dominated field. In particular, one man proposed a disturbingly new scientific viewpoint. That was Charles Darwin, with his highly contentious theory of evolution. One of his admirers, it turned out, was none other than the Prime Minister himself. And, even more surprisingly, when Salisbury did differ from Darwin, his argument was well-founded in science. Not something one would expect from most British Prime Ministers.

The Darwinian Revolution--the change in thinking sparked by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, which argued that all organisms including humans are the end product of a long, slow, natural process of evolution rather than the miraculous creation of an all-powerful God--is one of the truly momentous cultural events in Western Civilization. Darwinism as Religion: What Literature Tells Us about Evolution (Oxford UP, 2017) is an innovative and exciting approach to this revolution through creative writing, showing how the theory of evolution as expressed by Darwin has, from the first, functioned as a secular religion.  Drawing on a deep understanding of both the science and the history, Michael Ruse surveys the naturalistic thinking about the origins of organisms, including the origins of humankind, as portrayed in novels and in poetry, taking the story from its beginnings in the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century right up to the present. He shows that, contrary to the opinion of many historians of the era, there was indeed a revolution in thought and that the English naturalist Charles Darwin was at the heart of it. However, contrary also to what many think, this revolution was not primarily scientific as such, but more religious or metaphysical, as people were taken from the secure world of the Christian faith into a darker, more hostile world of evolutionism. In a fashion unusual for the history of ideas, Ruse turns to the novelists and poets of the period for inspiration and information. His book covers a wide range of creative writers - from novelists like Voltaire and poets like Erasmus Darwin in the eighteenth century, through the nineteenth century with novelists including Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Henry James and H.

The Darwinian Revolution--the change in thinking sparked by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, which argued that all organisms including humans are the end product of a long, slow, natural process of evolution rather than the miraculous creation of an all-powerful God--is one of the truly momentous cultural events in Western Civilization. Darwinism as Religion: What Literature Tells Us about Evolution (Oxford UP, 2017) is an innovative and exciting approach to this revolution through creative writing, showing how the theory of evolution as expressed by Darwin has, from the first, functioned as a secular religion.  Drawing on a deep understanding of both the science and the history, Michael Ruse surveys the naturalistic thinking about the origins of organisms, including the origins of humankind, as portrayed in novels and in poetry, taking the story from its beginnings in the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century right up to the present. He shows that, contrary to the opinion of many historians of the era, there was indeed a revolution in thought and that the English naturalist Charles Darwin was at the heart of it. However, contrary also to what many think, this revolution was not primarily scientific as such, but more religious or metaphysical, as people were taken from the secure world of the Christian faith into a darker, more hostile world of evolutionism. In a fashion unusual for the history of ideas, Ruse turns to the novelists and poets of the period for inspiration and information. His book covers a wide range of creative writers - from novelists like Voltaire and poets like Erasmus Darwin in the eighteenth century, through the nineteenth century with novelists including Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Henry James and H. G. Wells and poets including Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, and on to the twentieth century with novelists including Edith Wharton, D. H. Lawrence, John Steinbeck, William Golding, Graham Greene, Ian McEwan and Marilynne Robinson, and poets including Robert Frost, Edna St Vincent Millay and Philip Appleman.

In Australien wurde gerade ein Drache ohne Ohren wiederentdeckt. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Eidechsenart, die zuletzt 1969 gesichtet wurde. Gleichzeitig verliert die Welt jeden Tag 150 Tierarten. Wie wirkt sich das Verschwinden der Tiere auf den Menschen aus? Darüber sprechen Markus Lanz und Richard David Precht in dieser Folge. Noch wissen wir Menschen wenig über die Auswirkungen. Aber ist es überhaupt richtig, die Auswirkungen des Artensterbens nur als eine Art Kosten-Nutzenanalyse aus der Sicht des Menschen zu betrachten? Sollten wir Menschen nicht große Ehrfurcht vor der Natur im Ganzen haben, wie Richard David Precht fordert? Außerdem geht es um Charles Darwin und wie er mit der Evolutionstheorie den Blick auf die Welt bis heute prägt.

Apparently, there's a lot about Charles Darwin we didn't know about! It's Tawinee's Actual Factuals for Augyut 10th!

In Australien lockt das ganz grosse Abenteuer. In der dritten Folge seiner Reise durch Australien trifft Sven Furrer in der Nähe von Canberra auf Karreen Thomas. Sie opfert ihre gesamte Freizeit für die Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation. Freiwilligenarbeit ist in Australien äusserst populär. Karreen kümmert sich um Känguruwaisen, die meist bei Autounfällen ihre Mutter verloren haben. Sie päppelt die Tiere auf und wildert sie einige Monate später wieder aus. Auf seiner Suche nach dem australischen Glück ist Sven Furrer mit Urs Wälterlin verabredet. Der Australienkorrespondent von Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen zeigt ihm die Hauptstadt Canberra. Urs Wälterlin lebt seit vielen Jahren in Australien. Gemeinsam besuchen sie das nationale Kriegsdenkmal. Seit jeher zieht Australien an der Seite des Mutterlands England in Kriege und Schlachten. Sven Furrer lernt eine unbekannte und bedrückende Seite des «lucky country» kennen. Wälterlin zeigt ihm aber auch sein Anwesen unweit der Hauptstadt und entführt ihn an ein typisch australisches Barbecue. Auf der Farm von Charlie Prell taucht Sven Furrer in das Leben der Schaffarmer ein. Dort angekommen legt er gleich selbst Hand an. Die Region um die Stadt Goulburn war früher das Zentrum der australischen Wollproduktion. Edle Merinowolle eroberte von hier aus die ganze Welt. Doch das Geschäft ist heute schwierig, wie Charlie Prell erzählt. Der Farmer möchte aber mit niemandem auf der Welt tauschen, auch wenn er sich sein Glück hart erarbeiten muss. In den Blue Mountains trifft Seven Furrer einen schrägen Vogel mit klingendem Namen: Chris Darwin ist der Ururenkel von Charles Darwin, dem Begründer der Evolutionstheorie. Der gebürtige Engländer führt das Erbe seines Ahnen fort und setzt sich für den Artenschutz ein. Chris Darwin ist überzeugt, dass man das Glück nur im Einklang mit der Natur finden kann. Der Bergführer nimmt Sven Furrer auf seine Lieblingstour durch eine wildromantische Schlucht mit. Der Moderator muss sich über einen spektakulären Wasserfall abseilen und begibt sich auf Abwege.

A Rainha Vitória da Inglaterra é bem famosa e a Era Vitoriana é referência de tempo para muita coisa.

We have a new podcast! It's called Universe Of Art, and it's all about artists who use science to bring their creations to the next level. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.   Protecting Other Planets From Earth's Germs For decades, people have been trying to figure out how to avoid contaminating other planets as they explore them—an idea called planetary protection. As missions venture forth to places such as Mars or Jupiter's moon, Europa, the need to protect worlds that could support life becomes more critical. And at the same time, as space programs begin to bring samples back to Earth from places like Mars or asteroids, planetary protection becomes a concern in another way—the need to protect Earth from potential unknown life forms from the cosmos. Sending humans to another world raises the stakes even more. NASA has a limit of no more than 300,000 spores (single-celled organisms) allowed on board robotic Mars landers. But human bodies contain trillions of microorganisms, making it impossible for human missions to achieve the same level of microbial cleanliness as robotic landers. Dr. Nick Benardini is a NASA official responsible for ensuring that the proper precautions are made to prevent humans from contaminating outer space. Ira Flatow spoke to him about how to avoid spreading microbes between planets.   Ask An Expert: An Evolution Education Most people raised in the U.S. were taught about evolution in science class growing up. But how much do you actually remember? Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species or Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiments may ring a bell, but it's likely most of us could use a refresher. A good grasp on the science of evolution is extra important these days, argues Prosanta Chakrabarty, author of the new book, Explaining Life Through Evolution, and curator of fishes at Louisiana State University. In 2008, Louisiana's governor signed the Louisiana Science Education Act, which allows schools to teach creationism as an alternative to evolution. Chakrabarty joins Ira to talk about the science behind evolution and take questions from listeners.

FRIDAY HR 2 RRR Trivia - People have less of this now then they did 50 years ago. What was is this? Vet training Trivia 2 Charles Darwin did this with almost all of the exotic animals that he discovered.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the simple animals which informed Charles Darwin's first book, The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs, published in 1842. From corals, Darwin concluded that the Earth changed very slowly and was not fashioned by God. Now coral reefs, which some liken to undersea rainforests, are threatened by human activity, including fishing, pollution and climate change. With Steve Jones Senior Research Fellow in Genetics at University College London Nicola Foster Lecturer in Marine Biology at the University of Plymouth And Gareth Williams Associate Professor in Marine Biology at Bangor University School of Ocean Sciences Producer Simon Tillotson.

Today, Eric Hovind of Creation Today purports to show us a scientific alternative to evolution, which is something that creationists have always been severely lacking. Will he actually deliver?Original Video: https://tinyurl.com/2f6o4yuqCards:Atheists Don't Logic Good

On the Galapagos islands, Charles Darwin noticed small variations within finches. Some of these birds had larger beaks for cracking open seeds.

If living things are only the result of chance processes, does human life have any intrinsic value? On this episode of ID the Future from the archive, California State University history professor Richard Weikart, author of several books, including The Death of Humanity and the Case for Life, talks racism past and present, in both Christian and “scientific” secular history. Racism can be found in both arenas, Weikart notes, but Charles Darwin made racial variation — and the claim that certain races were inferior — a key plank in his case for evolution by random variation and natural selection. As a result, many in the 19th century and early 20th century concluded with Darwin that perceived differences between the races were biological, an idea that opened the door more widely to the continued exploitation of human beings. Weikart goes on to suggest that materialistic Darwinism provides precious little support to ground the idea of universal human dignity and rights, ideas with a strong grounding in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Today we're joined by Nancy Pearcey, author of "Love Thy Body" and "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes," for part two of our discussion on the biblical view of the body and the philosophy of “toxic masculinity.” We start off with the reality that one's view of God determines one's view of masculinity. We look at ancient philosophers as well as Charles Darwin, who all believed in an innate inferiority of women. Meanwhile, it's Christians who have been trying to champion the dignity of women – it's Christianity that gives a rich, full understanding of masculinity that no other ideology does. We discuss the importance of the physical strength of men and how while feminism calls them to repress it, Christianity calls them to redirect it to something that fulfills its purpose. Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual." --- Timecodes: (01:11) View of God determines view of masculinity (04:38) Female inferiority (12:11) Using the animal kingdom to justify behavior (16:25) Natural instincts/strength of men (22:30) Christian headship and submission (27:34) Puritan views on women (35:43) Christianity's dignity of children --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!
