The Lydia McGrew PodcastEaster 2025: Where did the women see an angel?This year I weigh in on a couple of alleged contradictions in the Easter stories that I've never discussed elsewhere (as far as I can remember). One of these concerns when the women bought and prepared spices. The other, on which I spend more time, is the claim that Matthew contradicts Luke and Mark about where the women saw an angel at Jesus' tomb.Blessed Easter to everyone!Here is a good post by Jonathan McLatchie that I'm agreeing with and supplementing:https://jonathanmclatchie.com/do-the-resurrection-narratives-contradict-a-reply-to-dan-mcclellan/Here are a whole bunch of videos from earlier Easters, some of them...2025-04-2026 minThe Lydia McGrew PodcastIs the evidence in a Max Data case a burden?Recently Capturing Christianity suggested that the maximal data case for the Gospels is burdensome because (he alleged) you have to defend *all* these different things, including traditional authorship and undesigned coincidences, and if any of these arguments don't work, the case is "weakened."I argue that this is backwards. These things are conduits for data that really is there and that really does raise the probability that the Gospels are reliable. Therefore, the more such conduits we have, the better. To say that the case is "weakened" if some part of a massively strong case were to fall through...2025-03-1017 min
Intelligent Design the FutureMcLatchie: Why Cell Division Challenges DarwinismOne of the most incredible features of cellular life is the capability of self-replication. But can a Darwinian mechanism take the credit for the origin and design of the cell division process? On this episode of ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes a four-part series with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie on the intelligent design and irreducible complexity of eukaryotic cell division. In his recent paper on eukaryotic cell division, Dr. McLatchie quotes a Latin expression Darwin uses in his famous book On The Origin of Species to describe natural selection: natura non facit saltus: nature does not make jumps.

Intelligent Design the FutureEngineered Elegance: The Checkpoint Pathways of the Cell CycleOne of the most incredible features of cellular life is the capability of self-replication. And built into the remarkable process of cell division are several checkpoints that ensure the success of this life or death cellular practice. But can a Darwinian mechanism take the credit for this elegant cellular system? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his four-part conversation with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie on the intelligent design and irreducible complexity of eukaryotic cell division. In this segment, Dr. McLatchie describes each checkpoint and the role it plays in successful self-replication. This is Part 3 of a four-part series.

Intelligent Design the FutureMcLatchie: How Motor Proteins Power Eukaryotic Cell DivisionCould the components of the eukaryotic cell division process have arisen through a gradual, unguided process? On this ID The Future, Dr. Jonathan McLatchie casts light on the unlikelihood of this proposition as he continues a four-episode series with host Andrew McDiarmid on the intelligent design and irreducible complexity of eukaryotic cell division. In this segment, McLatchie dives into some of the key molecular machinery responsible for the success of mitosis: the mitotic spindle and the motor proteins that aid in its assembly and function, explaining why their origin is beyond the reach of a Darwinian process.

Intelligent Design the FutureMcLatchie: Intelligent Design in the Eukaryotic Cell CycleOn this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a short series with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie delving into the remarkable design and irreducible complexity of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The pair review the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the phases involved in eukaryotic cell division, and the concept of irreducible complexity. They explore how various components of the cell division process, such as kinetochores and microtubules, are essential for successful mitosis and why these systems are more likely the product of intelligent design rather than an unguided evolutionary process.

Unbelievable?Scientific Evidence vs Faith Jonathan McClatchie vs Elliot George (Classic Replay)One of our favourite debates today from the Archives - Elliot George, a retired science teacher, argues that science is grounded in evidence, while religion is based on 'faith' and 'make-belief' and should thus be dismissed. Jonathan McLatchie, writer, speaker and scientist, joins the debate and critiques Elliot's theories as fundamentally flawed. He contends that Christian belief is supported by evidence, asserting that science itself bolsters the argument for God's existence.
Their debate explores the definition of belief, the validity of design as an explanation in biology, and the reasons Jonathan prefers Christianity over other worldviews.

New Testament scholarship is full of development theories of the Gospels, based on an evolutionary model.

This supposedly concerns things like Christology (getting gradually higher and higher, culminating in John), alleged anti-Semitism (supposedly greatest in John), and the topic of today's episode--Jesus' alleged "control" of his own death.
