+  Culture of Death: The Age of “Do Harm” Medicine

+  Who Designed the Designer?: A Rediscovered Path to God's Existence

  • Description: The “New Atheists” are pulling no punches. If the world of nature needs a designer, they ask, then why wouldn’t the designer itself need a designer, too? Or if it can exist without any designer behind it, then why can’t we just say the same for the universe and wash our hands of a designer altogether? Michael Augros discusses the answers to these questions. (Originally aired June 23, 2015)
