Darwin and Creationism Podcasts: on scientific method; the Cold War; and Jews, Catholics, Muslims

At "The Missing Link." In three parts. By historian Elizabeth Green Musselman.

Part I (her episode 8): The Ghost in the Machine. Or, the deep history of scientific method, and how the rules evolved to the point where intelligent design cannot follow them.

Part II: Evolution, Communism and Other "Dirty" Words. Or, How did the Civil War and the Cold War affect the acceptance of evolution in the United States?

Part III: People of the Book. Or, how people in some of the world's other religious traditions - particularly Jews, Catholics, and Muslims - have positioned themselves in the evolution-intelligent design debate.
