Evolution’s Gaping Hole

Molecular biologist Douglas Axe explains what he calls “the gaping hole in evolutionary theory.” This talk is from Axe’s online course, “Douglas Axe Investigates Molecular Biology and Intelligent Design” at DiscoveryU.org. You can sign up for the course at www.discoveryu.org/courses/pr….

Douglas Axe is Maxwell Professor of Molecular Biology at Biola University, the founding Director of Biologic Institute, the founding Editor of the science journal BIO-Complexity, and the author of Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed. After completing his PhD at Caltech, he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre. His research, which examines the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems, has been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, BIO-Complexity, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris.
