Creating Life in the Lab - Adam Rutherford & Fuz Rana - Unbelievable?

from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

In a podcast special, atheist scientist Adam Rutherford and Christian biochemist Fazale (Fuz) Rana of Reasons To Believe, discuss the latest advances in synthetic bio-engineering and whether they support or contradict the view that life is a product of design. In the second of 2 programmes they explain the latest scientific advances in attempting to create simple synthetic life in the laboratory and how this research may be of benefit. Fuz contends that the amount of ingenuity and intelligence required to produce life in the lab lends strong support to the view that life on earth is a product of an intelligent mind. Adam Rutherford, whose new book is called "Creation: The Future of life" disagrees.
