Enyart Debates Hannam on Theistic Evolution

* God's Philosophers author James Hannam: talks with Bob Enyart about theistic evolution. Part 1 of 3! On this special edition of Real Science Friday, one of the topics discussed is the nature of laws, both the physical and spiritual laws, and a claim of Einstein's about the physical laws (which Bob agrees with and James found interesting). Tune in next week for the conclusion of this fascinating discussion, which just keeps getting better and better!

* Hannam's Assessment of Debating Bob: After this debate James Hannam wrote: "Richard Dawkins once said that 'if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).' It rapidly became clear that Bob was none of these things. For a start, I know a fair bit about evolution and genetics. But when it came to familiarity with the arguments, he was way ahead of me. On epigenetics, RNA/DNA chemistry, and animal physiology, I was hopelessly outclassed. Bob is not ignorant. And it is pretty clear he is neither stupid nor insane. He came across, in fact, as extremely intelligent. So perhaps he is wicked? Well... I am sure he is nothing of the sort."
