Darwin Has a Molecule Problem, with Dr. Michael Behe (Self-Brain Surgery Saturday)
13/04/2024 Duration: 01h01minIt's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!We're all taught in school that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution explains how we got here. But the truth is, modern molecular biology continues to struggle to prove even the most basic elements of that idea. Survival of the fittest is an obvious truth, but survival does not explain arrival, and since Watson and Crick gave us the molecular structure of DNA in the 1950's, the picture has become more and more bleak for the Darwinists. My guest today is Dr. Michael Behe. He is a biochemist from Lehigh University, and his incredible book is Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution. From Amazon.com: Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning".Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prom

Break Free from Self-Doubt with Leanne Ellington
01/04/2024 Duration: 43minIt's Mind Change Monday, and Leanne Ellington is going to help us jump into Action April!Leeanne Ellington has an incredible story of chasing healing through silence, and finding God in the process. In her own words, she describes her faith journey: Picture this: a skeptical, bacon-loving, Hebrew-speaking Jew, embarking on a quest to explore faith after a transformative 100-pound weight loss and a series of "quarter-life crisis".It began with a whisper in my heart: "I think I might want God?!" But not wanting to go back to the old days of temple and rabbi sermons, I found a non-denominational church in vibrant Nashville, TN that turned into a miraculous journey that filled a void in my spiritual landscape and met ME in my skepticism, doubt, and curiosity in all aspects of life. All of a sudden this "God guy" that everyone ELSE was talking about that I had never met, and frankly never cared to meet… ...suddenly appeared to ME --and revealed, completed, and healed parts of my story I didn't even know needed a
