The Origin of Animal Life | Stephen Meyer

Stephen C. Meyer
May 17, 2018
No question is greater or more ultimate than that of our origins as living creatures. Darwinian theory tells the story of our origins one way. Biblical creationists, of course, tell it another way. Does that exhaust the possibilities? Our guest today, Stephen Meyer, doesn’t think so. Read More ›

You Need to Know Who You Are to Begin With | David Gelernter

David Gelernter

Having written extensively on consciousness, he describes the current state of the field and Thomas Nagel's scandalous opinion that we currently lack the tools to solve this "deepest mystery". Finally, Gelernter reflects on the state of higher education, specifically with reference to Yale. Read More ›

April 12, 2018
We know that, despite the cliché, great minds do not all think alike. That’s why on Great Minds with Michael Medved, we bring to you a diverse list of guests, who don’t think alike, and who don’t necessarily think the way the majority or the “consensus” in their field say they should. After his timely and controversial essay for the American Enterprise Institute, Michael asks Jay about about the idea of a “consensus” in science, and when we’re entitled to doubt it.
