Show Notes

On this ID the Future from the vault, host Mike Keas interviews Professor Emeritus Michael Flannery (U of Alabama-Birmingham) about evolutionist Kenneth Miller’s book The Human Instinct: How We Evolved to Have Reason, Consciousness, and Free Will. Miller is prominent as a science educator and supporter of neo-Darwinian theistic evolution. Flannery, a historian of science, argues that Miller’s attempt to defend human exceptionalism on neo-Darwinian grounds runs into fatal difficulties, as have similar attempts before. Flannery’s companion article to this episode, “Kudzu Science: Ken Miller’s The Human Instinct,” is here. Please consider donating to support the IDTF Podcast.
