Beyond 'Origin': A Post-Darwinian Design Theory with Dr. J. T. Bridges

In this episode of Think for Christ, we welcome back philosopher J.T. Bridges to talk about his new book Beyond ‘Origin’: A Post-Darwinian Design Theory. In this book Dr. Bridges provides a much-needed critique of the somewhat stalled debate between Neo-Darwinist and Intelligent Design proponents. The book is full of valuable and probing insights for the ID movement, but, by way of disclaimer, it is not by any means an “easy read” or a “beginner-level” work. Dr. Bridges is presenting a philosophical critique of the of the current debate and in doing so he surveys ideas from several academic fields of inquiry including epistemology, the philosophy of science, and, of course, from both neo-Darwinian and Intelligent Design theory. Likewise, and again by way of disclaimer, this interview with Dr. Bridges will at times get us into some technical material and complex ideas. If you are someone familiar with or interested in the ongoing debate between Darwinism and Intelligent Design, both this book and this interview will be well-worth your considered attention.
