A Mathematical Challenge to Darwinian Evolution | Douglas Axe
Modern biology often presents Darwinian evolution as a settled explanation for the origin and diversity of life.
Douglas Axe is chair of molecular biology at Biola University and author of “Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed.”
In this episode, he argues that when you look at the mathematical probabilities that undergird molecular genetics, there are hard limits that random mutation and natural selection cannot overcome.
Notably, Axe does not deny the existence of natural selection. Indeed, he argues that minor adaptations—such as virus mutations or dog breed…
