The Design of the Human Eye with Jonathan Wells

by The Centre for Intelligent Design

Our friends at The Centre for Intelligent Design in the U.K. are hosting a webinar featuring Jonathan Wells on the design of the human eye. On the day of the webinar, simply click the button on the right to watch the live event on YouTube.

Read their message below for further information.


The Centre for Intelligent Design

Our webinar series in 2022 continues with a presentation from Dr. Jonathan Wells. Dr. Wells holds two PhDs, one in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California at Berkeley, and one in Religious Studies from Yale University. He is currently a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute’s Centre for Science and Culture.

In his 2000 controversial book Icons of Evolution: Why much of what we teach about evolution is wrong, Wells claimed that ten textbook images widely used to teach students about evolution significantly misrepresent the position. In 2017 he published Zombie Science (Discovery Institute Press), showing that the misleading images were still in textbooks. He also described six more ‘icons of evolution,’ including the allegedly poor design of the human eye, his subject for this webinar. He expresses surprise that Darwinism continues to dominate our scientific and educational institutions without serious challenge. Controversial stuff!

Do join us for this informative webinar. Please make it known to interested friends and colleagues. We look forward to your company! As always, there will be the opportunity for putting questions to Dr. Wells.

**Note also that recordings of previous webinars are available on our website.

Jonathan Wells

Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture
A molecular and cell biologist, Jonathan Wells (1942-2024) was author of the path-breaking book Icons of Evolution: Why much of what we teach about evolution is wrong (2000), which exposed serious inaccuracies in how evolution has been taught in contemporary science textbooks. A Senior Fellow with the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute, Wells was also a proponent of the scientific theory of intelligent design.
