"Dr. Kenneth Miller uses Dr. Beatty's very own example of a mouse trap to prove why he thinks the central idea of intelligent design, irreducible complexity, is wrong.

Kurt Olson interviews Dr. Barbara Forrest, David K. DeWolf and Dr. Kenneth R. Miller in this episode of Massachusetts Educational Forum:Educational Forum: Evolution and Intelligent Design: The Science, The Debate and the Legal Landscape.

The full interview is available at http://tinyurl.com/yts5nb. The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.

"The two essential parts of evolution are really straight forward: ...
(1) That there exists variation in nature among individuals in a species ...
(2) The second is the observation that among that variation there is differential reproductive success. ... The combination of those two, also given the input of new variation into a species, which Darwin observed and today we understand right down to the molecular level, means that a species is going to be subject to a type of selection over time".
