Echolocation Shakes the “Tree of Life”

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin takes a look at recent papers that challenge the Darwinian concept of a single, coherent “tree of life.” As one paper from the journal Biological Reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society states, mounting evidence shows that “phylogenetic conflict is common, and frequently the norm rather than the exception.” Luskin examines echolocation in bats and whales and asks — does biological similarity imply inheritance from a common ancestor?

Theistic Evolution Is Nearly as Problematic as Atheistic Darwinism

In this podcast, Casey Luskin discusses his recent article in Salvo Magazine, “Deity Added: Theistic Evolution Is Nearly as Problematic as Atheistic Darwinism,” which explains many scientific problems with the theistic evolution viewpoint. Listen in as Luskin explains what the evidence shows, and notes that “theistic evolutionists make precisely the same scientific arguments that secular, atheistic, Darwinian evolutionists make. Theistic evolutionists essentially baptize materialistic ideas by adding, ‘And by the way, God did it this way’ — although when pressed they’d admit that you can’t empirically detect God’s actions in any of it.”
