Unbelievable Podcast host Justin Brierley welcomes Stephen Meyer and Perry Marshall to discuss a hot-topic in christian and science circles...
It didn’t make front-page headlines across the world, but many biologists are saying that something quite exciting happened at the Royal Society in London last year.
The Royal Society is one of the world’s oldest and most respected scientific institutions, and has been at the forefront of championing the theory of evolution.
But at its meeting in November 2016, New Trends in Evolutionary Biology—that was the name of the conference—many are saying the door was opened to potentially alternative explanations for the way life, in contrast to the standard Neo-Darwinian explanation of evolution by natural selection acting on random mutation.
Dr. Denis Noble, who hosted the conference, brought together leading voices in the so-called “Third Way” movement in biology. People like James Shapiro, Sonia Sultan, and Gerd Müller, whose research some people say has challenged the prevailing orthodoxy.
What does all this mean for the future of evolutionary theory? Does it open the door to things like Intelligent Design or a role for God in the evolutionary process? Or something else entirely?
Well, two people who were both there are joining me for Unbelievable today for what I’m sure will be a really interesting, scientific, philosophical and theological discussion.

Right now it's time to get into today's discussion.
Well, today on the programme we're asking what happened to evolution at the Royal Society.
My guests today Stephen Meyer and Perry Marshall.
Now, it didn't make front page headlines across the world,
but many biologists are saying that something quite exciting happened
at the Royal Society in London last year.
Now, the Royal Society is one of the world's oldest and most respected scientific institutions
and has been at the forefront, really, of championing the theory of evolution.
But at its meeting in November last year,
New Trends in Evolutionary Biology, that was the name of the conference,
many are saying that the door was opened to potentially alternative explanations
for the way life developed from the standard neo-Darwinian explanation of
evolution by a natural selection acting on random mutation. Dennis Noble who
hosted the conference brought together leading voices in the so-called third
way movement in biology. People like James Shapiro, Sonia Sultan and Gerd
Muller whose research some people say has challenged the prevailing orthodoxy.
But what does all this mean for the future of evolutionary theory?
Does it open the door to things like intelligent design,
or a role for God in the evolutionary process,
or something else entirely?
Well, two people who were both there are joining me for Unbelievable today
in what I'm sure will be a really interesting scientific,
philosophical and theological discussion.
Stephen C. Meyer of the Discovery Institute,
well known as an advocate of intelligent design theory
in books like Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt.
