This statement is not at all controversial as most scientists state that the theories of evolution are broad enough to admit various interpretations of what is observed, and therefore when proven false scientists committed to Darwinian evolution simply offer another explanation that appears to support their philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin\u2019s evolutionary theories relied on naturalistic mechanisms to explain the origin of species.\u00a0 But can scientific materialism sufficiently explain the origin of life?<\/p>\n<p>The evidence strongly supports a much different origins explanation. This episode of SER is my interview with researcher, author, and theologian, Dr. Thomas Woodward.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Dr. Woodward&#8217;s bio<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Thomas E. Woodward is a research professor and department chair of the theology department at <a href=\"http:\/\/trinitycollege.edu\/\">Trinity College of Florida<\/a> and a prominent Christian apologist.<\/p>\n<p>He has published widely defending intelligent design and refuting Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution. Since 1988, he has been (Florida) director of Trinity College\u2019s Center for University Ministries (CFUM). Dr. Woodward has also maintained an evangelical teaching and discipleship ministry and been head of the C.S. Lewis Society, which is housed at Trinity College.<\/p>\n<p>He has a B.A. in History from Princeton University and a Th.M. in Systematic Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. He did his doctoral work at the University of South Florida. His thesis, a history of the Intelligent Design movement, was published by Baker Books as \u201cDoubts About Darwin\u201d in 2003. He is the author of numerous books including, \u201cDarwin Strikes Back,\u201d and co-authored with Dr. James Gillis \u201cThe Mysterious Epigenome: What Lies Beyond DNA,\u201d and \u201cDarwinism Under the Microscope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Woodward&#8217;s website &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apologetics.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.apologetics.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"SER 40 &amp;#8211; Dr. Thomas Woodward &amp;#8211; Evolution: An Inadequate Philosophical Speculation\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-01-30T06:00:48-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1H01M06S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\r\n\r\n&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe year 1859 witnessed many remarkable and noteworthy events.\u00a0 For example:\r\n\r\n \tBrahm\u2019s 1st piano concerto (in D minor) premiered in Hanover, Germany.\r\n \tThe Codex Sinaticus was discovered in Egypt.\r\n \tOregon became the 33rd state in ...\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.drmikespaulding.com\/Completed-Interviews\/Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"28.0\" \/><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_439\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drmikespaulding.com\/Completed-Interviews\/Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('439','http:\/\/www.drmikespaulding.com\/Completed-Interviews\/Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soaringeagleradio.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png?w=696&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drmikespaulding.com\/Completed-Interviews\/Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/soaringeagleradio.com\/index.html\/?powerpress_pinw=408-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drmikespaulding.com\/Completed-Interviews\/Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Tom-Woodward-102715.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/soaringeagleradio.com\/?feed=podcast&amp;mt=2&amp;ls=1\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_itunes\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Apple Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribebyemail.com\/soaringeagleradio.com\/index.html\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe by Email\" rel=\"nofollow\">Email<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/tunein.com\/radio\/Soaring-Eagle-Radio-p834228\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/soaringeagleradio.com\/index.html\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The year 1859 witnessed many remarkable and noteworthy events.\u00a0 For example: Brahm\u2019s 1st piano concerto (in D minor) premiered in Hanover, Germany.
