* Wrote about Chlorquine before Chloroquine was Cool: Enjoy this rerun of our April 6th 2020 show! The history of chloroquine and malaria provides vital insight into the theory of evolution and the possible future COVID-19. As a public service during the coronavirus pandemic and brought to you by the Crawford family of radio stations, RSR co-host Bob Enyart interviews famed biochemist Michael Behe, groundbreaking author of Darwin's Black Box, The Edge of Evolution, and Darwin Devolves. Dr. Behe helped launch the worldwide intelligent design movement of Ph.D. scientists exposing the failure of the theory of evolution to explain life's diversity. He's written on the history of chloroquine and its effect on the protozoa pathogen that causes malaria (a Plasmodium). That fascinating account reveals a stunning defect in the theory of evolution and also alerts us to the clear possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may mutate, and if so, it could create a second wave of challenging infections. * Programming Notes: - In 2019 RSR interviewed Dr. Behe on Darwin Devloves - Today we aired two programs. Just fyi, the first one is here! - We have drug updates including on the controversy at rsr.org/hcq. Today's Resource: Does God Exist? (Debate)Bob Enyart: pastors Denver Bible Church. Bob began his professional life working for McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company designing simulation software for the Army's Apache AH-64 attack helicopter, and then went to work for U S West, Microsoft Corporation, and PC Week. Bob eventually left his computing career to work fulltime in Christian ministry and to host a talk show. In 1991, Bob Enyart Live began airing on Denver's KLTT radio, and can still be heard there weeknights at 7 p.m. During the mid 90s, Bob's show moved to television and was available in eighty cities from Honolulu to Orlando. More than 50,000 copies of Bob's audio and video teaching tapes have been sold. And a few thousand people have read the overview of the Bible presented in The Plot manuscript which is Bob Enyart's life's work. Bob launched www.KGOV.com in 1999 with the purchase of O.J. Simpson's Hall of Fame Award and football jerseys, burning those items at the largest single-event press conference in the history of the LA courthouse. And Bob has organized a mobile protest of President Bill Clinton following him from Martha's Vineyard to Auckland, New Zealand with over 1,000 protests in 147 US and foreign cities for Clinton's sexual abuse of women. Bob has worked with parents of slain Columbine students to close down memorials to murderers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and was glad to see the destruction of two crosses on Rebel Hill and two trees planted in West Bowles Community Church memorial garden. Bob has been appeared on over 100 TV and radio shows, including multiple episodes of ABC's Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher; Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes, CNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, and various appearances on MS-NBC, the BBC, XTRA, Michael Reagan, E Network, etc. including on scores of radio stations from LA's KABC to NY's WABC.Zakath: a two and a half year veteran poster on TOL, is an atheist with a past. The man behind the screen name was raised in a Christian home, seminary trained, earned a doctorate in counseling psychology, pastored two churches, founded a Christian school, and a Christian counseling practice with his wife of twenty-five years. Zakath left the Christian faith almost ten years ago, eventually ending up in his present belief system, atheism. Zakath is the father of four grown children; two in active duty military service, and two in the federal consulting field. When he's not posting on TOL, he runs his consulting business, enjoys reading, organic gardening (and ponding), martial arts, and home brewing. * COVID-19 Deaths: Updated for April 5, 2020.

Dr. Michael Behe is a biochemist, a professor at Lehigh University, and a founding senior fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He is the author of several books including, Darwin's Black Box, The Edge of Evolution, and most recently, Darwin Devolves. In this episode, we talk about the new research challenging Darwin's theory of evolution and affirming a case for the theory of intelligent design. We hope you enjoy!

Michael Behe's "Darwin Devolves" asks: Has Darwin solved the design problem in biology? Behe says absolutely not, and backs his position with detailed examples. Furthermore, nobody has really solved the famous problem of "irreducible complexity" that Behe described in "Darwin's Black Box." But Perry Marshall insists Behe has still omitted vital details and landmark experiments. Bill Cole works closely with Behe, so Perry and Bill discuss: Will Behe's approach be effective in addressing the shortcomings of mainstream science?Where Did Life Come From?

Take a listen to Pastor Wilson address the Al Franken controversy, where he brings it all to the conclusion that stupidity never works. He then finishes off the episode with a book blurb about "Darwin's Black Box", ending with a look at the Greek word "aischrotes". Happy plodding!
Natural is what occurs by means of the regularities that God has ordained. Supernatural is what happens by spiritual causes. Consider Natural vs. the Divine God of the Gaps or any kind of theory that God is made into one of the regularities of the universe. Explore the Theory of the Big Bang. Intelligent Design, Irreducible Complexity Evolution, and the idea of natural selection in a sense is an incomplete theory. If God had to act for an evolutionary process to happen then secular scientists would have great difficulty with that and would try to explain it away. Consider Michael Behe and his book, Darwin's Black Box. In Irreducible Complexity, things only function if all the parts are there and have no function without any one of the parts. We should be very slow to put God into gaps that we see in theories. The God of the Gaps theory is usually connected to us being positive we have figured it out. Consider the "miracle" of childbirth What a miracle is should be very important to us theologically. Because God does not have to use special causation all the time because of the regularities with which the world is governed, it sets the stage for there to be this thing called a miracle which has a very, very specific purpose. What is the purpose of miracles, signs, and wonders in Scripture? Generally in Scripture, miracles are interventions that testify to God, God's Word, and God's Messenger. The miracle testifies to the power of the Fixer. Miracles have a very specific purpose and testimony. The very concept of a miracle presupposes they do not happen often. The idea of a miracle presupposes the regularity of the universe at which God otherwise organizes it. Consider the theological aspect of the miracle of the Word.

This last week saw US Intelligent Deisgn proponent Michael Behe on the "Darwin or Design?" speaking tour of the UK. As well as hosting an evening event, "Unbelievable?" invited him to discuss ID with theistic evolutionist Prof Michael Reiss in front of an invited audience. Michael Behe is professor of Biochemistry at LeHigh University, Pennsylvania. His book "Darwin's Black Box" launched the modern Intelligent Design movement which claims that aspects of biology are too compelx to have arisen by blind Darwinian processes but entail the guidance of an intelligent mind. Michael Reiss is Professor of Science Education at the Institute of Education. Ordained in the Church of England, he was formerly director of education at the Royal Society before stepping down amid controversy over statements he made about engaging with ID and creationism in the classroom. They engage the topic of ID and evolution in front of an audience of scientists, church and secular leaders at Charles Darwin house in London. They discuss the limits of science, whether ID is a religious movement, the place of ID in the classroom and take questions from the audience.

Michael Behe is professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania and the founder of the modern Intelligent Design movement. His book "Darwin's Black Box" ignited the controversy 14 years ago when it claimed that certain molecular machines and biological processes are "irreducibly complex" and cannot be explained by Darwinian evolution. His new book "The Edge of Evolution" takes his conclusions further, arguing that the Darwinian processes of random mutation and natural selection are incapable of producing the variation and complexity we see in most of life. So can we conclude that life was intelligently designed by a creator? Keith Fox is Professor of biochemistry at the University of Southampton and chairman of Christians in Science. As a theistic evolutionist he believes that Evolution is the best explanation going for the complexity we see and that ID is a blind scientific alley and theologically unappealing to boot. They debate whether micromachines in the cell such as the "bacterial flagellum" could have evolved by a Darwinian process of evolution. When inference to design is and isn't acceptable in science. Whether random mutation can mathematically stack up to complex life, and whether God is reduced to a divine "tinkerer" by ID.
