Why Are Evolutionists Now Doubting Evolution? with Dr. Casey Luskin

Christianity, Darwinian evolution, Dr Casey Luskin, Evolution, Frank Turek, Podcast, theology
Is Neo-Darwinism DEAD? Why are some prominent biologists and macro-evolutionists admitting that Darwinian evolution is in trouble and what’s fueling this newfound skepticism—even among Darwin’s long-time supporters? The answers may surprise you! Joining Frank from the recent SES Steadfast conference is Dr. Casey Luskin, Senior Fellow and Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute and co-author of ‘The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith‘, a collective work that seeks to reconcile the complexities of the universe with the concept of intelligent design. Together, Frank and Dr. Luskin address the following questions: What are some key differences between micro and macroevolution? What did later research reveal about the Galápagos Island finches and how does it compare to Darwin’s findings? What is epigenetics and how does…
