Jonathan Wells on How to Defeat Zombie Science
Zombies are make-believe, but zombie science is very real — and it threatens not just science but our whole culture. On this ID The Future, we’re sharing a conversation between Dr. Jonathan Wells and Hank Hanegraaf on the Hank Unplugged Podcast. This interview originally aired in 2018 shortly after Dr. Wells published Zombie Science, his highly anticipated follow-up to Icons of Evolution. With the recent passing of Dr. Wells, Hank and his team have re-released the interview with some words of tribute to this icon of the intelligent design movement. Enjoy this hour-long conversation as Dr. Wells unpacks more icons of evolution and explains how to defeat zombie science.
Topics include:
- What is zombie science?
- The cost for taking a stand against materialism in the scientific arena
- Examining various icons of evolution like Darwin’s tree of life
- Why has the war on Intelligent Design become so ferocious?
- The remarkable process of metamorphosis
- The strong scientific commitment to materialism
- What is the myth of junk DNA?
- The unnecessary idolization of Charles Darwin
- The problem with making DNA the answer to everything
- Examples of zombie science
