Hour 2: A Challenge To Richard Dawkins
In 2009, famed atheist Richard Dawkins proposed a test for evolution. If Darwinism is correct, he claimed, every gene in a group of organisms will give “approximately the same tree of life.” On the other hand, if intelligent design is an accurate depiction of the origin of life, a designer would pick and choose the best proteins for the job, and genes would NOT all give the same tree of genetic resemblances. Join us as we ask geologist Dr. Casey Luskin to tell us who won that challenge: Richard Dawkins or Intelligent Design?
