Is evolution really random – or is there a deeper structure built into life itself?
World-leading evolutionary biologist and Cambridge professor Simon Conway Morris joins scientist and philosopher of science Sam McKee for a fascinating conversation about God, evolution and the limits of science.
Chapters
0:00 Can science and Christianity really coexist?
3:12 The shocking lab experience that brought Sam back to God
6:15 How C.S. Lewis changed a Cambridge scientist’s worldview
9:59 Genesis vs science: are Christians reading the Bible wrongly?
14:39 Is young-earth creationism damaging Christianity?
16:09 Does the Cambrian Explosion prove intelligent design?
20:05 Is evolution really random? Simon Conway Morris challenges the standard story
26:37 Does evolution point to purpose in the universe?
33:12 The brutal problem evolution creates for belief in God
39:11 Are humans really just sophisticated apes?
54:28 ALIENS: would extraterrestrial life destroy Christian theology?
1:01:36 Why Christians may be completely wrong about the future
Conway Morris explains why he rejects Intelligent Design, while arguing that convergent evolution reveals something remarkable: again and again, evolution independently arrives at strikingly similar solutions. Could that tell us something deeper about the structure of reality?
Together they explore why Genesis shouldn't be read as a scientific textbook, whether evolution undermines the idea that humans are made in the image of God, the problem of millions of years of animal suffering – and whether discovering alien life would pose a problem for Christianity.
Plus, Sam shares the extraordinary experience in a Cambridge laboratory that brought him back to faith.
Do evolution and Christianity belong in conflict – or have we been asking the wrong questions?
