This is the fifth installment in a six-part interview with Dr. Lyle Jensen. Today on ID The Future, Jensen explains his doubts about Darwinian evolution, citing everything from X-ray crystallography and fossils to blood clots and academic brainwashing. He also enunciates his fears that commitment to Darwinian dogma is impeding advances in scientific discovery.
The quote Dr. Jensen refers to during this podcast is taken from Richard Lewontin's book review of The Demon-Haunted World: Science As a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan. The book review is available from the New York Review of Books.
