A new extended interview with Dr. Jay Richards about the book, “God’s Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design.”
Segment 1 – Intro and News
Segment 2, 3, 4 – God’s Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design
“In an age of rising unbelief, top Catholic thinkers show how, more than ever, both science and reason affirm the words of the great Catholic poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: ‘The world is charged with the grandeur of God.’ This book, edited by biologist Ann Gauger, clears up common misconceptions regarding intelligent design, showing why it is an argument not from ignorance but from knowledge and how the evidence for God’s design of the natural world is growing.” Jay Richards tells us all about it today!
