Summary

Could the components of the eukaryotic cell division process have arisen through a gradual, unguided process? On this ID The Future, Dr. Jonathan McLatchie casts light on the unlikelihood of this proposition as he continues a four-episode series with host Andrew McDiarmid on the intelligent design and irreducible complexity of eukaryotic cell division. In this segment, McLatchie dives into some of the key molecular machinery responsible for the success of mitosis: the mitotic spindle and the motor proteins that aid in its assembly and function, explaining why their origin is beyond the reach of a Darwinian process.

0:00.0	ID the Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
0:11.6	Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Andrew McDermott.
0:15.7	Well, today I continue a four-episode series with Dr. Jonathan McClatchy
0:19.7	on the intelligent design and irreducible
0:22.0	complexity of eukaryotic cell division. But before we get to that good stuff, let me tell you about
0:28.5	an upcoming event you'll want to be a part of. From the smallest honeybee to the greatest whale,
0:34.4	planet Earth is swarming with creatures of all shapes and sizes, each intelligently
0:39.0	designed for their habitats. Where did they all come from? And what are the implications for a faith
0:44.2	in God? Join us at the 7th annual Dallas Conference on Science and Faith on February 8, 2025,
0:52.1	in Denton, Texas, or via live stream for a stimulating series of talks on the theme
0:57.8	All Creatures Great and Small. Whether you join us in the Dallas area or online, you'll learn about
1:03.7	the miracle of butterfly metamorphosis with Paul Nelson, the amazing honeybee with Eric Hedine,
1:09.8	the scientific evidence of the human soul with Michael Egnor,
1:13.5	the intelligent design of plants with Emily and Daniel Reeves,
1:17.3	the theory of ID as fuel for scientific discovery with Casey Luskin,
1:21.8	and the origin of animal body plants with Stephen Meyer.
1:25.6	In addition to these, in-person attendees can choose from special
1:28.9	breakout sessions presented by John West, Richard Sternberg, George Montanis, Ray Bolan, and Stephen Dilley.
1:36.6	Other perks to joining in person include a live musical performance on the theme of the conference,
1:41.3	a conference book store with a large selection of titles by Discovery Institute scientists and scholars, a free book in honor of the late Jonathan Wells, opportunities for book signings with the speakers, and exhibitor tables from our partner organizations. You can learn more and register for the conference at Science and Faith.com.
2:03.7	That's science and faith.com.
