Pro-ID Paper Examines Irreducible Complexity of Birds in Flight

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin reports on a new peer-reviewed paper arguing for the irreducible complexity of two systems vital to bird flight — feathers and the avian respiratory system. The author, Leeds University professor Andy McIntosh, challenges his critics to consider the design hypothesis as a valid scientific assumption “borne out by the evidence itself.”

The Universe Next Door with Tom Woodward: Responding to Criticisms of Darwin’s Doubt

On this episode of ID the Future, Stephen Meyer is on The Universe Next Door, talking with host Tom Woodward about criticisms of his latest book, Darwin’s Doubt — now released in paperback with a new epilogue in which Dr. Meyer responds to his critics. Meyer discusses the criticisms of his thesis based from cladistics, as well as other critiques “straw men” critiques. Listen in!

The Universe Next Door with Tom Woodward: Jonathan Wells on the Icons of Evolution, pt. 2

On this episode of ID the Future, hear the second part of Tom Woodward’s interview with biologist Jonathan Wells on The Universe Next Door. Dr. Wells continues to explain the icons of evolution and why much of what we hear about evolution is wrong. Listen in as they discuss Darwin’s finches, four-winged fruit flies, humans with tails, and more.

The Universe Next Door with Tom Woodward: Jonathan Wells on the Icons of Evolution

On this episode of ID the Future, Jonathan Wells is on the Universe Next Door with Tom Woodward to talk about his popular book “Icons of Evolution.” Dr. Wells discusses how Darwinism has failed to explain how the basic building blocks of life could have arisen by purely materialistic methods — and why this is only the beginning of the theory’s problems. He also explains a recent study of his, published in BIO-Complexity, that finds that embryo development requires ontogenetic information that can’t arise by neo-Darwinian mechanisms.

The Michael Medved Show: Stephen Meyer Debates Michael Shermer

On this episode of ID the Future, Stephen Meyer debates Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, on the question: Should scientists be skeptical about Darwinian evolution? The debate extends into the topics of whether we should allow criticism of evolution in the classroom; the extinction of Neanderthals, and their differences from humans; and the controversy over global warming.

The Universe Next Door with Tom Woodward: Kinesin, the Workhorse of the Cell

On this episode of ID the Future, hear a discussion about a video recently released by Discovery Institute — The Workhouse of the Cell: Kinesin — that reveals the awe-inspiring inner workings of the cell. Kinesins are motorized transport machines that move cellular materials to their correct locations in the cell so they can perform their functions. Kinesins have two feet, or “globular heads,” that literally walk, one foot over another. Known as the “workhorses of the cell,” kinesins can carry cargo many times their own size. Watch the video at YouTube.

The Making of a Scientific Mind: Dr. Dominic Halsmer

On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Dominic Halsmer, Dean of the College of Science and Engineering at Oral Roberts University, shares how he became fascinated by science and engineering. Great pedagogy involves making education fun, a principle he learned at a young age. Listen to his stories of scientific experiments (and mishaps) in his family and how he came to understand intelligent design as a scientific enterprise.

Michael Behe: The Limit in the Evolution of Proteins

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin sits down with Dr. Michael Behe to talk about a recent study that strongly confirms that severe problems face even relatively minor Darwinian evolution of proteins. Listen in as Dr. Behe discusses how just this one detail of life is beyond the abilities of Darwinian evolution, in ways that even skeptics of the theory didn’t consider potentially problematic.
