Webb    (1961-2016) appeared on our radar screen all too briefly before    his very untimely passing. Please    see my remembrance of him here. Our old friend and    colleague Casey Luskin interviewed Dr. Webb for the ID the    Future podcast, and Im glad to offer a pair of those    interviews that have been newly reposted this week in Webbs    honor.  <\/p>\n<p>    Find them here:  <\/p>\n<p>    If the term occasionalism doesnt ring a bell for you, its    one of the more bizarre accusations that have been aimed at the    ID movement by people smart enough to know better.  <\/p>\n<p>    After receiving his PhD from the University of Chicago,    Professor Webb taught at Wabash College where he wrote, among    other books,     The Dome of Eden: A New Solution to the Problem of Creation and    Evolution. He spoke with Casey about his experience of    academic persecution after seeking to teach a course on    evolutionary theories of the origin of religion. Webb observes    the irony that when it comes to religion, Darwinists are of    course free to apply their corrosive analysis, but when others    turn a critical gaze on Darwinian thinking, that is considered    out of bounds.  <\/p>\n<p>    Webb describes his own origins as a Darwin skeptic with    interests in intelligent design. He traces his initial    explorations to a recognition of the brittle defensiveness that    is a familiar aspect of Darwinian apologetics. He noticed the    strange way that otherwise thoughtful and independent scholars    turned into servile lackeys when the subject of evolution    came up.  <\/p>\n<p>    Enjoy these two fascinating conversations between Casey Luskin    and Stephen Webb.  <\/p>\n<p>    Photo: Stephen Webb, via YouTube.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evolutionnews.org\/2017\/05\/in-remembrance-conversations-with-stephen-webb-on-evolution-and-intelligent-design\/\" title=\"In Remembrance: Conversations with Stephen Webb on Evolution and Intelligent Design - Discovery Institute\">In Remembrance: Conversations with Stephen Webb on Evolution and Intelligent Design - Discovery Institute<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The gifted philosopher and theologian Stephen H.
