The Genealogical Adam and Eve – Joshua Swamidass and Nathan Lents

from Unbelievable? · host Premier

Joshua Swamidass is the author of ‘The Genealogical Adam and Eve: The surprising science of universal ancestry’. He says that the book could end the war between evolution and creation as it reveals the scientific basis for why everybody on earth could be descendants of a single human couple within the last several thousand years. He is joined by atheist biologist Nathan Lents who has given his support to the book, believing that it may help Christians who hold to a traditional understanding of the Adam and Eve story, to also accept evolutionary science.   For Joshua Swamidass https://peacefulscience.org/  For Nathan Lents https://thehumanevolutionblog.com/  For Unbelievable? the Conference 2020 https://www.unbelievable.live/  For A Evening with NT Wright on 12 March https://www.ecevents.uk/spck/tw/Site/Register  Subscribe to our newsletter and receive the free Unbelievable? e-book ‘In Conversation With…’ https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter  Support the show and receive all the videos sessions from Unbelievable?
