Evolutionary Psychologist: Religion is an “Adaptation” but not a “Universal Acid”

On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin discusses evolutionary psychologist Matt Rossano’s comments that disclaim the idea that evolution poses any threat to belief in God.

On this episode of ID The Future, Dr. John West, Associate Director for Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture, discusses the attempts by many Darwinists to relegate intelligent design to the humanities, equating it with creationism so as to avoid discussion of its scientific merits. West also talks about the mistaken notion that science and faith are incompatible: “Regardless of whether someone happens to be religious or not, they have the right to participate in the public life, and that includes in science and the arts.”
