Zachary Moore, PhD zach@drzach.net http://feeds.feedburner.com/Evolution101.xml http://www.drzach.net/podcast.htm Zachary Moore, Ph.D. Although this doesn't regard evolution, it's another hot scientific topic that I was asked to talk about to the First Baptist Church of Colleyville Faith and Reason class. I thought that the Evolution 101 listeners might be interested in it- a further ethical discussion will be posted later to the Apologia podcast feed.
