Ethics

Radio Show Preview: 01-29-09

By Ed Brayton

This is a preview of the January 29 episode of Declaring Independence. I will have two guests. The first is Ayaan Hirsi Ali in an interview I taped last week when she was in Grand Rapids for a speaking engagement. Ali is an outspoken critic of radical Islam, particularly its treatment of women, and she has good reason to be. She escaped an arranged marriage in Somalia and was the victim of female circumcision when she was 5 years old.

The second is Ken Miller, a cell biologist from Brown University. We will be discussing the intelligent design movement and this interview should last about 40 minutes and be quite detailed in looking at irreducible complexity as an argument for ID, among other subjects.

The show airs from 6-7 pm and you can listen here.
