Evolutionary biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins is a long-time and unapologetic champion of Darwin's theory of evolution. He is a self-declared atheist and a firm believer in the inherent complexity of evolutionary forces that created life as we know it.
In his bestselling books, "The Selfish Gene" and "The Blind Watchmaker," Dawkins argued that the main goal of life is to propagate one's own genes and that our universe is one of no design. Now, in a new sweeping book, "The Ancestor's Tale," he travels back in time to trace the evolutionary roots life itself.
Tune in to hear a conversation with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

Evolution Theory and Faith |
Listen
A recent Gallup poll says only one-third of Americans regard Darwin's theory of evolution as well-supported by empirical evidence. Microbiologist Richard Colling is working to change that by winning over some of evolution's toughest converts -- fundamentalist Christians.
A devout Christian, Colling teaches biology and evolution at Olivet Nazarene University, a fundamentalist Christian college in Bourbonnais, Illinois. Unlike many secular scientists, Colling believes that evolution is not necessarily godless and that his faith is heightened, not diminished, because he believes in evolution.
In this radio diary, Richard Colling explains how he reconciles his religious faith with his teaching of evolution.
