On this classic episode of ID the Future<\/strong> out of the archive, host Eric Metaxas continues his conversation with biologist and professor Dr. Douglas Axe. The subject is Axe\u2019s book Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life is Designed<\/a> and his account of how he lost his position at a Cambridge research lab because of the implications of his research findings. Axe discusses the polarized atmosphere in science today, driven by an unreasonable commitment to materialism. He describes the prevailing attitude: “Either you’re with us and on board on these issues or you are anti-science. That is a very unhelpful position for scientists to be taking.” Axe also talks about the reliability of our built-in design intuition and the implications of living in a designed universe. Metaxas notes that though many adopt a Darwinian narrative of life, few are prepared to follow the logic of an accidental cosmos all the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
