On a new episode of ID the Future, podcaster and Forbes contributor Jerry Bowyer concludes a conversation with John West about the intelligent design documentary film Revolutionary: Michael Behe and the Mystery of Molecular Machines.

They discuss German paleontologist Günter Bechly, who changed his mind about Darwinism after reading a book by the main protagonist of the film, Dr. Behe. This was in the context of Dr. Bechly’s organizing a major museum exhibit celebrating the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species. What an irony for evolutionists to suffer such a major defection in the middle of what Boyer amusingly calls the “Darwin Woodstock.”

West also shares a fascinating postscript to the story. And he and Bowyer go on to discuss an upcoming Discovery Institute film, the award-winning Human Zoos, which explores Darwin-inspired scientific racism in the early 20th century.
