They also discuss the influence of cyberspace, virtual reality, and intelligent design. The interviewees include Neil Postman, Jane Metcalfe, Howard Rheingold, Mark Slouka, Andrew Kimbrell, Doug Groothius, Dean Kenyon, Philip Johnson, and Michael Behe.(P) and ©1997 Mars Hill Audio

A Still Relevant Conversation

This interview is from the early to mid 1990s, and yet it is still very much worth listening to if you are looking for a Christian perspective on science and technology. This resource will lead you to several other possible books of interest. #1990sAmerica #Theology #Philosophy #ScienceAndTechnology #Media #TagsGiving #Sweepstakes

Bonus Intelligent Design BS.

An embarrassment to Postman's memory and insult to Rheingold. Even at $1 it's a ripoff.

stealth propaganda for intelligent design!

I have been caught by surprise, as some of the participants in this program are reputable people (e.g. Neil Postman, Howard Rheingold) but the last part of it is a piece of not-so-subtle propaganda for intelligent design, with a bunch of advocates of this pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo posing as victims of the scientific establishment, just as Galileo was a victim of the Inquisition : this is a bit hard to swallow, considering that these people are closer in their orientation to the religious obscurantists who condemned Galileo than to Galileo himself.

uhmmmm

This would've been great, except that it repeats itself! I got into the repetitive part about midway and thought that I had messed up the slider. Nope, just woven together to read through twice!

Otherwise it might've been an interesting listen.
