Ken Miller On God, Darwin, & Intelligent Design genre: Hip-Gnosis & Video-Philes
Anyone seeking the skinny on the battle between evolutionists and creationists would be well served to watch the following presentation by Ken Miller, a biology professor at Brown University. Miller, a Catholic, maintains his belief in faith while arguing in favor of the science behind the theory of evolution.
Miller speaks in laymen's language and presents his arguments with an understanding of the political and cultural battles that underlie the conflict. He does an excellent job of describing the objective and the strategy of those who promote Intelligent Design. In fact, he contends that they seek to portray Darwin as an enemy of religion...attempting to cast him as a virtual purveyor of atheism.
Miller's treatment of the subject is one of the most comprehensive I've seen. It has the added benefit of being balanced as a result of his allegiance to both science and faith.
Ironically, many of those who support Intelligent Design aren't so inclined. I find it rather amusing that those who support the acceptance of a divine creator often do so with disingenuous or downright deceitful tactics...tactics that are contrary to the Christian teachings of his son.
