Does Evolution Need a GUIDING FORCE?? | Erika Gutsick Gibbon & John Gleason

Original Episode Here: https://youtube.com/live/oqQyfgjaBZA In this episode, hosts John and Erika engage with Ben, a Catholic caller who proposes that a special "force" pushes living organisms toward survival and complexity, unlike non-living matter. While accepting "microevolution," Ben rejects the idea that genetic mutations could lead to significant evolutionary transitions. The hosts challenge these views, explaining modern evolutionary science and questioning whether a special force is needed to explain biological processes. Despite disagreements, the conversation explores the fascinating intersection of science and religion.
