Part 2: Dr. Cornelius Hunter on ENCODE and “Junk” DNA

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Cornelius Hunter and CSC Research Coordinator Casey Luskin continue their conversation on recent discoveries about “junk” DNA, expanding on the implications for evolutionary theory. For years, Darwinists have said that our genomes ought to be full of junk if evolution is true. If the vast majority of our genome is not junk, what does this mean for evolution?

Michael Denton on the Coming Downfall of the Mechanistic View in Cell Biology

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Michael Denton discusses why he foresees the downfall of the mechanistic view in cell biology and the exhaustion of materialist researches into the origin of life. Conversely, Denton finds validity in Stephen Meyer’s The Signature in the Cell, and in the proposition that intelligence was at work in the origin of life, and well before.

The Michael Medved Show Weekly Science & Culture Update: Featuring John West on the Legacy of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. John West discusses the Scopes “Monkey” Trial and how its legacy lives on in our culture today, almost ninety years later. The famous — and often misunderstood — 1925 trial of John T. Scopes, who was prosecuted for teaching human evolution, is commonly brought up in current debates as a way to defame scientific arguments against Darwinism. But today, as we’ve seen in recent threats to academic freedom, it’s Darwin’s defenders who seek legal means to silence doubters in the classroom. Listen in!

Part 1: James Le Fanu on the Current State of Science

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. James Le Fanu explains why this era of big science is both “the best of times and the worst of times.” Despite lavish funding of mega research projects, we are not seeing the same returns that we had a century ago with breakthrough discoveries of the fundamental laws of nature. Has the methodology of science reaches its limits? In Part 1 of this three-part series, Le Fanu explores the significance of science today and the confines and opportunities that it may face.
