ID The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.

Welcome to ID The Future.

I'm your host, Eric Anderson, and I'm excited to have Dr. Brian Miller back on the show with us today.

Welcome, Brian.

Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.

So, Brian, tell me what you're working on these days before we dive into our topic.

Exciting things going on. I know you guys have the Science and Faith conference coming up

pretty soon, right? Yeah, there's going to be some really nice talks about things like

Wonders of the Animal Kingdom. So that's going to be really enjoyable. People like Daniel

Reeves will be there, Emily Reeves. We've got a person who's an expert in Earthworms.

So I think it's going to be particularly exciting for people to bring their children too,

because they'll really see the awe and wonder of creation. And I will not be there that year,

but I'll this year, but I'll definitely be at other

events this year. Yeah, yeah, we've got, I know you guys have a lot of stuff coming up. We've got

cells coming up later this year and, of course, the summer seminars and lots of things going on

that'll keep you busy. I know you have your fingers in a lot of things. Yes, and definitely,

I'm really excited about the projects I'm working with you and others in our engineering

group on about just sort of the application of engineering principles of biology. And I think this

year we're going to see some really significant breakthroughs. So listeners can just stay tuned.

Excellent. Excellent. Good stuff. Well, I do want to talk about one of our favorite topics today.

I know it's a favorite of yours as well as mine, and that's Origin of Life.

So let's start this way. If you kind of back up a little bit, Brian, kind of, you know, to Steve Meyer, some of his work. Maybe we could talk about him first and then Jim Tour and then some of your own research. Just kind of give me, give us a summary, if you will, of some of the challenges and some of the issues that have been raised.
