American Public Media's "Speaking Of Faith" programme has produced a fascinating podcast entitled "Evolution and Wonder: Understanding Charles Darwin".

The programme takes a fresh and thought-provoking look at Darwin's life and ideas, and suggests that he did not argue against God but against a simple understanding of the world — its beauty, its brutality, and its unfolding creation.

A comprehensive minisite, including a discussion guide and images of some of Darwin's original handwritten manuscripts has been produced for the show and can be viewed here: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2009/darwin/
