Dr. S. Joshua Swamidass on Genesis and Evolution

<p>This episode continues my series on science and religion. In previous episodes I’ve interviewed the director of the Vatican Observatory, and a nuclear scientist. On this episode I delve more deeply into one of the leading firestorms in that debate. Creationism vs. Evolution.</p> <p>Dr. Swamidass was raised in a religious evangelical family of young earth creationists. After learning the scientific evidence behind evolution he realized he was being lied to. Now he works within the religious community to challenge the theological basis of anti-science beliefs such as this.</p> <p>S. Joshua Swamidass MD PhD, a physician and a scientist, is an Associate Professor of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine at Washington University in St Louis. His group uses artificial intelligence to advance science at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He is the author of The Genealogical Adam and Eve and the founder of Peaceful Science (<a href='https://peacefulscience.org/'>https://peacefulscience.org/</a>).</p> <p>Register for my newsletter at <a href='http://www.therationalview.ca'>www.therationalview.ca</a></p> <p>Join the Facebook discussion @TheRationalView</p> <p>Instagram @The_Rational_View</p> <p>Twitter @AlScottRational</p> <p>#therationalview #podcast #evolution #creationism #genesis #youngearth #science #genetics #evidencebased</p>
