* "Pseudoscience" and Reverse Engineering: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Michael Egnor: author of "The Immortal Mind", a medical doctor, professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University, and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute who’s been a leading voice addressing intelligent design, the mind-brain relationship, and the limits of materialist explanations in science.
* The Heart of the Matter: Listen in as Dr. Egnor explains how the assumption that the heart is a pump, (a design inference) is essential to analysis of the "Windkessel effect" and how the design of the circulatory system of the brain protects delicate microcirculation infrastructure from the powerful pumping force of the heart.
* Hemispheres: Get the back story on a surgical procedure called the "hemispherectomy", and it's implications for the mind/body interface, including fascinating descriptions of how Penfield's study of seizures implies that reason, abstract thought and the will arise not in the brain, but elsewhere.
* Flesh Versus Mind: Dr. Egnor reviews the thoughts of Aquinas, Plato, Ryle, Descartes, Aristotle and others regarding the mind and the body, and the compatibility of those thoughts with the best understanding of modern neuroscience.
* The Savant: Hear Dr. Egnor comment on Bob Enyart's theory regarding the often amazing capabilities displayed by savants.
* Soul, Spirit & Body: Listen to Fred, Doug & Dr. Egnor explore the nature of the body, soul, spirit relationship, and how Francis Crick proved that being smart does not necessarily make one wise, (check out quote number three)!
