Episode 8: Martin Nowak, Does Evolution Lead to God?

Dr. Nowak, a Professor of Biology and Mathematics at Harvard University, discusses his thoughts on evolution and particularly the role of cooperation in the evolutionary process. He examines how evolution is both ordered and mathematical, which points toward the existence of a rational God who stands behind the evolutionary process.

Dr. Nowak's research focuses on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes, including the evolution of cooperation and human language, as well as the dynamics of virus infections and human cancer.  He is also the author of two recent books published by Angelico Press. Within offers a poetic reflection on the intersection of science, mathematics, philosophy, and theology. The second book Beyond is a philosophical quest folded into an epic exploration of the world.
