CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
And The Intelligent Design Trial 20 years later
Dr Kenneth Miller is professor (emeritus) of biology at Brown University in the USA. He is a world authority on cell and molecular biology and an early pioneer in computational biology. His work has spanned the globe and made huge inroads in protein science. He has written biology textbooks used en masse in high schools and universities. It is an immense honour to interview him about his career and research.
Professor Miller ended up being a key witness in the Dover vs Kitzmiller Trial in 2004 over the teaching of "Intelligent Design" creationism in schools. His work countering the claims of the ID proponents debunked the case made for ID in court and is well covered in the BBC Horizon documentary of 2005 "The War on Science" featuring Sir David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins. Miller himself is a catholic and has defended evolution against creationists and ID proponents, making the case that evolution is a compatible and friendly explanation.
