On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid continues his conversation with distinguished Brazilian scientist Marcos Eberlin, author of close to 1,000 scientific articles and the Nobel laureate-endorsed Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose. Their topic again is the body’s surprisingly sophisticated, all-or-nothing system for flushing bad bacteria from our guts.

It took foresight to solve all the problems involved; it took foresight even to make protein chemistry work in the first place. “Let’s listen to the data,” says Eberlin. “Let’s surrender to the evidence” — which points to intelligent design.
