The discussion started about intelligent design, but we spoke about evolution and philosophical implications of these ideas as well. This episode highlights my own thoughts on these issues.

This episode is about teleology in biology, and its origin in the basic biochemistry of evolution. This is an edited version of a live talk I gave at the 2018 annual meeting of the American Scientific Association (ASA). The ASA is the largest organization of Christians working in the sciences. The episode includes some of my answers to question starting at the 14 minute mark.

In this episode I talk about the origin of life and especially the issues surrounding accurate self replication of cells. The paper I refer to in the podcast can be found at my website at https://sygarte.com/paper/

This is an informational episode about the two approved (as of this date) COVID19 vaccines, and how they work. It includes an introduction to mRNA and its normal function, as well as how it works in vaccines. I also answer questions about the vaccine safety and other issues. 

In this episode I discuss my concerns about genetic engineering for the purpose of "human enhancement"

The subject of human morality, why are people good and evil, is full of pseudoscientific arguments. I discuss the origins of human morality, and debunk a number of atheistic claims about the science of morality. 

This episode includes part of a discussion/debate I had with Aron Ra on the Modern Day Debate YouTube Channel. originally recorded on July 28, 2019. Aron and I knew each other from a number of online appearances, sometimes on the same side, and sometimes in opposition. It remains as one of my favorite interactions with a strong atheist.

In this episode I talk about how I feel about human beings, and what it means to be created in the image of God. 

This episode is about my original upbringing as a militant atheist, and how the study of science broke down my belief in a purely materialistic world. I talk about my first experiences with church and the Gospels, and ends with realizing that I needed help to go further. That part of my conversion story is told in "Seeing the Light"

This episode describes the second part of my journey to Christ - how the Holy Spirit helped me overcome all obstacles to my becoming a believer.
