The Missing Link - a monthly podcast on the history of science, medicine and technology - has just launched a three-episode series on the fascinating history behind the evolution-intelligent design controversy.

Episode 8, just posted at http://missinglinkpodcast.com, begins the series with an investigation into how the nature of scientific method has changed over the centuries. Discover at just what point science invented rules that creationism could not follow.

Future episodes will consider topics like Jewish and Catholic responses to the evolution-ID controversy, why the creationism movement waned in the immediate postwar period in America, and how the very word "evolution" might be inadvertently fueling the controversy.
