#40 Joshua Swamidass - Adam and Eve and science, what do our genes tell us? - Critical Witness
We are talking to Dr Josh Swamidass who has written a fascinating book on Adam and Eve using his scientific background in computational biology and medicine to discuss the tensions between modern science and the narratives of Genesis. What he finds is an interesting take on the origins debate that leaves a lot more room and a lot less tension between the various sides of Christendom. We hope to dig in to Dr Swamidass' conclusions a little further and their implications for our theology.

Dr. Swamidass MD, Ph.D. is a physician, scientist, and Associate Professor of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine at Washington University in Saint Louis. He leads a computational biology group that studies information at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and medicine (http://swami.wustl.edu/).
He is also a speaker for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and Veritas Forums. Recently, he served as a Science Adviser for AAAS Science for Seminaries, and now blogs at Peaceful Science (http://peacefulscience.org/).
Dr. Swamidass is the author of his new book, titled: The Genealogical Adam and Eve. Here he tests a scientific hypothesis: What if the traditional account is somehow true, with the origins of Adam and Eve taking place alongside evolution?

--- About the channel ---
Dan and Phil are mates who like talking apologetics, philosophy, ethics and theology. They interview Christians who are evangelists, authors, scientists, apologists, comedians or simply interested in talking about big topics. In the future, we're looking to interview people from other faiths and atheists in a non-confrontational format.
We put all interviews on a podcast. We aim to update the podcast every other week:

If long form interviews aren't your thing and you just want short, digestible videos, subscribe for our #shortconvos from our longer conversations that come when we have time.
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Insta and let us know what you think of the conversations.

Finally we're looking to feature other writings on our website. If you write on the topics above get in touch!
