271: What Darwin Got Wrong

How did our planet form? How did life begin? Most of us have no idea how to explain this foundational, existential question.

Evolutionists say that all life has stemmed from a series of random mutations that began with the big bang 13.8 billion years ago; creationists say that a higher power created the universe and all life as we know it. When examined with even the slightest bit of scrutiny, both arguments fall ridiculously short of plausibility.

In a departure from our typical health and wellness topics, my guest and I attempt to shed new light on the age old question: "How did we get here?" I think you'll find this interesting, thought-provoking, and perhaps a little frustrating.

Listen & Learn:

• Why science is often wrong
• Why the scientific process is actually a process of "getting it wrong" before anything is right
• How there are undeniable signs of evolution in both the plant and animal kingdoms
• How there are undeniable signs of intelligent design in our very DNA
• Why science cannot answer the big social questions of today including things like right and wrong, moral decisions, and hierarchy of life—so how do we answer them?
