In this podcast, Dr. James Tour and Dr. Brian Miller discuss science and faith, including a presentation by Dr. Miller, showing his extensive expertise in the application of thermodynamics and information theory to the problem of the origin of life. Dr. Miller is Research Coordinator for the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, WA, and holds a B.S. in physics with a minor in engineering from MIT and a Ph.D. in complex systems physics from Duke University. Questions from the audience conclude this very intellectual and detailed talk.
