 Octopi, Sea Turtles, and Living Waters Premiere | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

In this episode of ID the Future, hear about octopus hatchlings’ distributed intelligence and survival instincts, as highlighted in Dr. Geoffrey Simmons’ book, Billions of Missing Links. Listen in to learn about how baby sea turtles use an imprinted magnetic map to navigate across the ocean. Illustra Media’s newest documentary, Living Waters, explores sea creatures, such as sea turtles, whose complexity points to intelligent design. On August 7, Discovery Institute will host the northwest film premiere of Living Waters: Intelligent Design in the Oceans of the Earth, at McCaw Hall in Seattle.

 Stephen Meyer Expounds On Recent Debate With Alex Berezow on The Michael Medved Show | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

In this episode of ID The Future, Andrew McDiarmid catches up with Dr. Stephen Meyer to clarify two important points raised during his recent discussion with Alex Berezow of Real Clear Science on the Michael Medved Show. Berezow uses developmental hox genes and the research of Richard Lenski as examples of the creative power of the mutation/selection Darwinian mechanism. Here, Meyer points out that although hox genes can produce changes in an organism during development, the changes are usually deleterious and are expressed after body plan formation has already been established. Meyer also clarifies the results of Richard Lenski’s E. coli long-term evolution experiment, showing that even the modest change in function reported by the experiment does not diminish the problem of the origin of information as detailed in Dr. Meyer’s book Darwin’s Doubt. Miss the debate? You can listen to the whole thing on Dr. Meyer’s Youtube Channel.

 New Book "Debating Darwin's Doubt" Released on 90th Anniversary of Scopes Monkey Trial | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On today's episode of ID the Future David Klinghoffer, editor of Evolution News and Views, comments on the 90th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial and the continuing scientific debate over Darwin's theory of evolution.

 Hugh Hewitt Show: Dr. Meyer on Darwin's Doubt and the Cambrian Explosion | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Stephen Meyer is a guest on the Hugh Hewitt show. Meyer and Hewitt discuss Meyer's recent New York Times Bestselling book Darwin's Doubt. Meyer walks listeners through the main points of the book, along with other evidence for the theory of intelligent design. Meyer also dispels the myth that there is a scientific consensus on Darwinian evolution.

 Is Human Reason Reliable? Interview with Nancy Pearcey, pt. 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture Fellow Nancy Pearcey. Discussing her new book, Finding Truth: Five Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes, Pearcey unpacks the spiritualized view of evolution, tracing it back to Hegel’s “soul of the world.” This concept birthed the postmodern view of the individual as a product of social forces.

 ID Inquiry: Michael Behe Explains Irreducible Complexity | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, hear the first episode of our new ID The Future segment ID Inquiry, in which ID scientists and scholars answer your questions about intelligent design and evolution. Ask your question by sending an email to editor@evolutionnews.org, and tune in to this first episode as Dr. Michael Behe explains the concept of irreducible complexity and what it means for Darwinian evolution. ID Inquiry Inquiring minds want to know about intelligent design. We get a lot of new readers and listeners to Evolution News & Views and ID The Future. And, they have a lot of questions. Our longtime patrons also have questions. So, we’re starting a new segment for ID The Future called ID Inquiry. You can submit questions you have about intelligent design and evolution and any aspect of the overall debate and we’ll find ID scientists and scholars to answer them. Send your questions to editor@evolutionnews.org.

 Dolphins' Sonar Systems and Illustra Documentary Living Waters | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

In this episode of ID the Future, hear about dolphins’ unique sonar systems, as highlighted in Dr. Geoffrey Simmons’ book, Billions of Missing Links. Listen in to learn about how they communicate and search for food using echolocation. Illustra Media’s newest documentary, Living Waters, explores sea creatures whose complexity points to intelligent design. On August 7, Discovery Institute will host the northwest film premiere of Living Waters: Intelligent Design in the Oceans of the Earth, at McCaw Hall in Seattle.

 Is Human Reason Reliable? Interview with Nancy Pearcey | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture Fellow Nancy Pearcey. Discussing her new book, Finding Truth: Five Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes, Pearcey highlights contradictions of evolution’s claims regarding human reason. If Neo-Darwinian theory postulates that man’s knowledge is not necessarily true – simply a product of natural selection - how can it also claim that the idea of God is a mis-firing of the human brain?

 Limits to Self-Organization | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews University of British Columbia at Vancouver philosophy faculty member Richard Johns on his paper in the journal Synthese titled "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.

 Founding Father Thomas Jefferson on Intelligent Design | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

In this special July 4th edition of ID the Future, Discovery Institute Senior Fellow John West explores the real views of Jefferson on intelligent design. Critics of intelligent design sometimes claim they are defending the principles of American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson in trying to ban discussions of intelligent design. In the words of one writer, “Thomas Jefferson makes it quite clear that there was not a consensus of support among the authors of the Constitution… to support theological doctrines such as intelligent design.” But would Thomas Jefferson himself agree?

 Serendipity and Exaptation: Circular Arguments for Darwinian Evolution | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin and Dr. Cornelius Hunter, Center for Science and Culture Fellow and Adjunct Professor at Biola University, talk about the issue of serendipity and what it means for the modern theory of evolution. Dr. Hunter discusses how Darwinian evolutionists have relied heavily on serendipity and exaptation -- or, as Dr. Hunter calls it, "sheer dumb luck" -- to explain complex features in biology and prop up their theory.

 Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig on the Law of Recurrent Variation - Pt 3 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin finishes his interview with Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig on the law of recurrent variation and the problems it poses for Darwinian evolution.

 Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig on the Law of Recurrent Variation - Pt 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin again sits down with Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig, a retired geneticist from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, to continue their talk on the law of recurrent variation and the problems it poses for Darwinian evolution. In this segment, Dr. Lönnig describes how mutation breeding has largely stopped worldwide, even as belief and faith in accidental mutations as the basis for all life forms is still flourishing.
