Show Notes

On this episode of ID The Future, Dr. John West, Associate Director of Discovery's Center for Science & Culture, discusses Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discoverer of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin's Heretic is a new documentary short film now available online that highlights Wallace's theory of "intelligent evolution" and reveals his contributions to biogeography. The film is based on a recent book by historian Michael Flannery called Alfred Russel Wallace: A Rediscovered Life.

Says West: "The fact that the very co-founder of the theory [of evolution by natural selection] ended up embracing design is something many Darwinists don't know and those who do know really don't want to talk about because it doesn't fit with the script!"
