On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews University of British Columbia philosopher Richard Johns about his paper in the journal Synthese, “Self-organization in dynamical systems: a limiting result.”

In the paper, Dr. Johns argues that there are limits to the complexity of structures that can be produced by self-organization. Johns shows that Darwinian evolution is actually a type of a self-organizing process, and that it too is limited in the types of biological structures it can produce.
