This week, we address evolutionary faith through celebrated evolutionary biologist Dr. Eugene Koonin's book THE LOGIC OF CHANCE: THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION. It is available here:

An earlier article (quick read) on the same topic is here:

The germ of this episode came from a trio of articles by Dr. Kirk Durston that I accessed from the ID The Future website:

All three articles by Dr. Durston are worth reading. Here is a link to the first:

C. S. Lewis's essay, "The Funeral of a Great Myth" is available here:

As an atheist, I embraced evolutionary theory - its cosmogony and cosmology - hook, line and sinker.

As a re-converted Christian, I began the Christian Atheist podcast as a theistic evolutionist.

This year, after long and serious study, I abandon my faith in evolutionary biology with all the Hegelian ideological tendrils that have infected the rational scientific worldview over the past two centuries.

Let the evidence speak, and let the people of God listen to what He says, and obey.

This episode has been brewing for a long time. It takes us all the way back to the roots of the Christian Atheist ... AND BEYOND.

We are now in the midst of a SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION. I suspect that God is in the process of removing all excuse for not-believing from everyone on earth.
