Ep. 46: Thank God for Microbes featuring Dr. Joe Francis

On this episode of Let's Talk Creation, Todd and Paul interview
special guest Dr. Joe Francis about the good, the bad, and the
ugly microbes God has gifted the world.  


Dr. Joe Francis is Chairman of Biological and Physical Sciences
at The Master’s University in Santa Clarita, CA. Dr. Francis
talks about what microbes are and how we interact with them on a
daily basis. Microbes are everywhere and while there are really
bad ones, there are also microbes that we and other creatures
need to survive. They introduce the idea of symbiosis and why we
should be thankful for microbes.  Books and articles
mentioned in the podcast:  


Lynn Margulis: This 1967 paper introduced what Margulis called
endosymbiosis.  Note: Lynn Margulis was married to Carl
Sagan, but later remarried and went by the name Lynn Margulis.
