Chances are you're already familiar with specified complexity, one of the mathematical pillars of the theory of intelligent design. There's another pillar that is much less well known but equally vital: the law of conservation of information. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a four-part conversation with mathematician and philosopher Dr. William Dembski. The conversation unpacks Dembski’s work on the law of conservation of information and its implications for scientific theories like Darwinian evolution. In Part 1, Dr. Dembski begins by defining information fundamentally as the narrowing of possibilities, where specifying one outcome excludes others. Using his a simple analogy of location, he explains that identifying a specific place, like the town of Aubrey, Texas, provides more Read More › Source

Sexual reproduction depends on an irreducibly complex core of components for its success. But can we really credit a gradual evolutionary process for this remarkable system? On this classic ID The Future from the archive, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his discussion with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie on why sex is the queen of problems for evolutionary theory and why instead it bears the hallmarks of a system governed by forethought and engineering. Dr. McLatchie covers two more components and explains why they are beyond the reach of a Darwinian process. This is Part 2 of a three-part conversation. Source

In this ID The Future, host Casey Luskin concludes a two-part conversation with University of Warwick professor and author Steve Fuller reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, a case that examined the constitutionality of teaching intelligent design in public schools. Fuller discusses his experience serving as an expert witness for the defense. He defends his support of a policy that merely informed students of alternative theories to Darwinian evolution. He explains why high school is an ideal time to encourage an open mind toward science. Then he pivots to discuss the deeper issue of institutional censorship in science and how establishment science functions as a religion. He characterizes intelligent design as "anti-establishment" and suggests there's hope for a more pluralistic approach to science in the near future. This is Part 2 of a two-part interview. Source

His interests are broad, but he works primarily in and at the intersections of (i) the Philosophy of Cognitive and Biological Sciences, (ii) the Philosophy of Mind, and (iii) Applied Ethics. Much of his recent writing has been on animal minds, welfare, and ethics, as well as evolution. He is the author of A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness. In this episode, we focus on A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness. We talk about what the science of consciousness is lacking, and a Darwinian approach to consciousness. We discuss phenomenological complexity, and how we can explore the phenomenology of other animals. We discuss whether the hard problem of consciousness can be solved by science. We talk about the example of gastropods, and the challenge of arthropods. We discuss whether any current theory of consciousness is right.Finally, we talk about biopsychism.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Ah, it was a heady wine time while it lasted. Wine enjoyed more than 50 years of vineyard and winery growth, more than 50 years of improving quality, more than 50 years of consistent year-over-year market expansion. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day. Reality: nothing lasts forever. Pendulums swing both ways, as the wine world is painfully coming to grips with now. In 2024, California wine production fell to its lowest level since 1999. United States production fell to its lowest since 2004. Both total wine consumption and per-capita demand in the U.S. fell together for the first time in modern wine history. Worldwide wine production is down to 1961 levels even though there are more than five billion more people on Earth today. On a granular level, winegrowers leave grapes on the vine, knowing they cannot recoup their harvest expenses. Wine stores close. Wineries close or dial back, drop labels, trim staff. Newspapers drop wine columns as wine advertising dollars dry up. Restaurants pare their wine list. Supermarkets reduce shelf space devoted to wine. Let's examine what is happening and put it into some perspective. Spoiler alert: the sky is not falling, Chicken Little. Wine drinkers fall loosely into two categories. Members of the largest cohort are not that interested in where the wine came from, how it was made, who made it. They want a relatively inexpensive alcohol delivery vehicle that tastes good, maybe pairs with food. They enjoy wine, but they also can hang with beer, hard seltzer, premixed cocktails. They also may have cut back or eliminated alcohol consumption. The second cohort is into wine. Members of that cohort care about all the details, food pairing, vintage conditions, particulars about how it was made. They can be labeled as “wine geeks.” Wine is their go-to alcoholic drink, and they are willing to search for quality and pay for it. The first cohort is the principal source of the wine decline. They are the reason the hardest hit wine segment is commodity value bottlings, aka “supermarket wines.” The wine lover cohort has much less impact on the decline. In fact, while sales of lower-end wine has significantly tumbled for the past seven years, sales of higher end wines have weathered the storm. Wineries are selling fewer bottles of wine but maintaining their cash flow because people are buying higher-priced efforts. Those drinkers are drinking better, a trend that is more than a decade old. The commodity, supermarket wine segment has a hard row to hoe. There are too many “next big things” in that alcohol silo. The market will remain, but will not be as robust as it was the past half century. And, of course, the cohorts are not black and white, but have shades of gray between them. The better wine cohort has an emotional connection to wine. For them, wine is joy, pleasure, deliciousness, and rewarding, with fascinating back stories. And—yes—some snob appeal that quality wine is not pop-the-top and slurp-it-down to get-a-buzz stuff. For them, wine's cementing attraction is pleasure. On the palate, in the mind, and—yes—pleasant satisfaction that you are smart enough, educated enough, and successful enough to enjoy and appreciate a liquid that has been treasured by fellow human beings for more than 8,000 years. There is conclusive evidence of a winery in Armenia dating back 6,200-plus years, including botanical evidence the wine was made using the areni grape. You can buy Armenian wine made with areni grapes today from a winery near the archeologic find in Armenia. Not many enterprises can match that claim. Bottom line: while this is a somewhat turbulent time in the wine business, especially in the cheaper, factory-produced wine segment, wine is not going away. Worldwide wine production may be down to 1961 levels, but it remains a half-trillion dollar business. Production is almost six billion gallons—30 billion bottles. In the United States, wine generates more than $325 billion in economic impact. Various research groups forecast wine's worldwide economic impact will be between eight hundred billion and more than one trillion US dollars by 2033. The wine world is changing, but it is not going away. Sure, the wine trade faces headwinds. Every product, especially a discretionary product like wine, faces headwinds on a cyclical basis. Sometimes you are the hammer and you strike. Sometimes you are the anvil and you bear. The likelihood is after testing times the strong will survive and flourish, while the weak will suffer their Darwinian fate. Wine has been here before—my goodness for 13 years in the United States you could go to prison for making and selling wine. Let's all take a deep breath, relax, and figure out what wine we are going to joyfully enjoy together tonight.Tasting notes:• Karas Areni, Armenia 2023 checks an amazing number of boxes in the wine world. First, it is a delicious wine that sips in a space between pinot noir and sangiovese. Second, archeological finds discovered evidence of this very grape dating back 6,100 years and the first clearly identified winery in the world. The winery is in the shadow of Mount Ararat, believed by Christians and Jews as the possible location of Noah's Ark. You get to drink history, the very beginnings of wine, and drink superb wine. And do so for $16-20. Link to my review• Val delle Rose Litorale Vermentino Maremma Toscana DOC 2024 is delightful iteration of vermentino's lighter, fresher style. While it has good acidity, there is a smooth creamy texture and slight oiliness that creates excellent mouthfeel and tension. Clean, crisp winner from a highly regarded, long-time player in Tuscany. $15-20 Link to my review• Herzog Wine Cellars Lineage Pinot Noir, Clarksburg 2022 is affordable, fruit-forward, kosher wine from America's largest fully kosher winery. It is a value play in pinot noir rather than sophisticated, but is very serviceable in what it is intended to be. Wallet pleaser; smooth and easy crowd pleaser. $18-22 Link to my review• Stoller Family Estate Reserve Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills 2022 is rich, elegant charmer with lingering finish, polished, refined fruit. Excellent balance of fruit, oak, restrained alcohol. Civilized pour that demonstrates why Willamette Valley pinot noir deserves to be in conversation as some of the world's premier pinots, especially at this price point. $50-60 Link to my review• Early Mountain Vineyards RISE, Virginia 2021 is a very smooth, well-behaved, merlot-led Bordeaux blend only produced in exceptional years. Just now entering its best drinking window, this easily can be held another decade-plus. Early Mountain is Virginia's flagship winery. All winery profits are directed to Virginia communities and innovation in the Virginia wine industry. $135-150 Link to my reviewLast roundHow do I determine how much wine to drink?

Ich habe in den vergangenen Jahren ja immer wieder mit Biologen über verschiedene Themen gesprochen, und eine sehr spannende Frage, die hier und da aufgetaucht ist lautet: was ist eigentlich die Definition von Leben? Oder anders ausgedrückt: wie können wir Leben von Nicht-Leben unterscheiden? Aber gleich vorweg gesagt: diese biologische Frage ist faszinierend und leitet die Episode ein, ist per se nicht das Thema dieser Folge, sondern nur eines von mehreren Beispielen; wie etwa der Frage, was Wissenschaft von Nicht-Wissenschaft unterscheidet, was ist Intelligenz, was ist Energie und nicht zuletzt — was ist Pornographie? Aber diese Beispiele dienen einer viel fundamentaleren Frage: wie kann ein wesentliches Gebäude gebaut werden, wenn das Fundament aus Sand besteht? Und kann dieses Gebäude überhaupt nützlich sein? Zusammenfassend die Zitate dieser Episode: NASA-Definition von Leben “Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.” Lee Cronin's Definition: »Life is the universe developing a memory.« Richard Feynman schreibt: »It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount. It is not that way. However, there are formulas for calculating some numerical quan-tity, and when we add it all together it gives ... always the same number. It is an abstract thing in that it does not tell us the mechanism or the reasons for the various formulas. « Karl Popper: »the belief in the importance of the meanings of words, especially definitions, was almost universal. The attitude which I later came to call “essentialism”« »the principle of never arguing about words and their meanings, because such arguments are specious and insignificant.« »This, I still think, is the surest path to intellectual perdition: the abandonment of real problems for the sake of verbal problems.« Dwight D. Eisenhower: »Plans are worthless but planning is everything« Generalfeldmarschall Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke: »Kein Plan überlebt die erste Feindberührung« Referenzen Andere Episoden Episode 137: Alles Leben ist Problemlösen Episode 132: Fragen an die künstliche Intelligenz — eine konstruktive Irritation Episode 129: Rules, A Conversation with Prof. Lorraine Daston Episode 123: Die Natur kennt feine Grade, Ein Gespräch mit Prof. Frank Zachos Episode 121: Künstliche Unintelligenz Episode 106: Wissenschaft als Ersatzreligion?

NOBEL SNUBS AND LATER CONTROVERSIES Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. In the aftermath of the Big Bang's confirmation, Gamow fought for recognition of his prior theoretical contributions before his death in 1968. Halpern discusses the controversy surrounding the Nobel Prize for nucleosynthesis, which was awarded to William Fowler but excluded Hoyle, possibly due to misconceptions by the nominators. In his later years, Hoyle became a controversial figure, promoting panspermia—the idea that diseases like AIDS come from comets—and rejecting Darwinian evolution. Halpern concludes by describing both men as intuitive, "seat of the pants" thinkers who preferred spontaneity over rigid archival research. NUMBER 4 1960

Failed ideas tend to eventually crumble under the weight of contrary evidence. Is modern evolutionary theory heading for the same fate? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid speaks to biochemist Michael J. Behe about his core arguments for intelligent design and his recent experience sharing them at an Ivy League school. Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University and author of Darwin's Black Box, recently presented some of his ID arguments to faculty, students, and post-docs at Cornell University. Behe reveals how his talk was received and shares some of his key insights highlighting the problems with Darwinian evolution. Source

This study presents a historical and theological defense of the original meaning of 'fundamentalism' as a commitment to core Christian doctrines—such as biblical inerrancy, the virgin birth, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, and the reality of miracles—emerging in response to 19th- and early 20th-century challenges from liberal theology, Darwinian evolution, and the social gospel. It traces the movement's origins to the 1910–1915 'Fundamentals' series, which sought to preserve orthodox faith amid rising skepticism, while highlighting how the term became tarnished by the Scopes Trial and later co-opted by cultural caricatures. The preacher warns against modernist tendencies in contemporary Christianity, including moralistic preaching, cafeteria-style belief, and the rise of 'moral therapeutic deism,' which reduce faith to ethical behavior and personal well-being rather than doctrinal truth. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to reclaim the original, biblically grounded meaning of fundamentalism—not as rigid dogmatism, but as a faithful, intellectually engaged, and theologically robust commitment to the gospel, urging believers to reject both intellectual arrogance and anti-intellectualism in favor of a balanced orthodoxy and orthopraxy.

For decades, British professor and author Neil Thomas was a card-carrying Darwinist. It wasn't until after he retired from academia that he had the repose to think about things objectively. Then one day, in a scientific flash of inspiration, he came to the conclusion that the standard Darwinian story was "rubbish." In the second half of a conversation with Andrew McDiarmid, Thomas continues to explain why Darwinism fails as an adequate explanation for the history of life as he discusses his new book False Messiah: Darwinism As the God That Failed.

Cosmic Accident or Intelligent Design: A Deep Dive into Biocentrism, Quantum Reality, and the UFO BlueprintIs the universe a random accident—or the expression of a deeper intelligence?In this episode of The Deep Dive, we explore one of the most profound questions in science and philosophy: Is consciousness woven into the fabric of reality, or is it merely a late-stage byproduct of matter?We begin by examining the staggering improbability of randomness. From the fine-tuning of over 200 physical constants to the delicate triple-alpha process that produces carbon, the numbers suggest design—not chance. Robert Lanza's “Call Me Ishmael” thought experiment drives the point home: even a short string of characters is statistically impossible to produce randomly within the universe's lifespan. So how could DNA, life, and mind arise from pure chance?Enter biocentrism. Lanza's framework proposes that consciousness is not an emergent property of matter—it's fundamental. Drawing from quantum mechanics, we explore how observation collapses probability into reality, and how space and time may be mental constructs rather than objective containers. Max Planck and Eugene Wigner's insights support this view: consciousness is the bedrock of existence.We then turn to the UFO paradox. Reports of humanoid visitors with shared genetic markers challenge Darwinian evolution. The controversial Nazca mummy DNA claims suggest 70% overlap with human DNA and 30% unknown. If true, this implies a universal blueprint or resonant field guiding biological development.Experiencers consistently describe craft that respond to thought—no controls, no joysticks. This suggests a consciousness-based technology operating non-locally. The Zendra phenomenon and instant travel reports align with biocentrism's view that space-time is illusory. Consciousness may be the true medium of travel.Finally, we explore how human consciousness can interface with this larger field. The key lies in quieting the left-brain interpreter (LBI), the analytical narrator that filters and confabulates. Remote viewing, meditation, and psychedelic states all reduce this noise, allowing deeper perception. Neurological studies by Dr. Gary Nolan reveal increased neural density in the caudate putamen of experiencers—suggesting the brain adapts to process non-local information.This episode is a journey through science, philosophy, and mystery. It challenges the materialist paradigm and invites listeners to consider a participatory cosmology—where consciousness is not an accident, but the architect.Listen now and join the conversation.Grant Cameron Website - www.presidentialufo.org

David Sloan Wilson | Professor Emeritus, Department of Anthropology / Biological Sciences Binghamton University | State University of New York "Mind, Brain and Culture from a Generalized Darwinian Perspective" Generalized Darwinism refers to any process combining the three ingredients of variation, selection, and replication (VSR). It is both old and new: Old, because all the insights associated with Darwinism during its first few decades were in ignorance of the proximate mechanisms of VSR. New, because with the advent of Mendelian genetics, the entire study of evolution became focused on genes, to the exclusion of other VSR processes. A return to generalized Darwinism didn't commence until the closing decades of the 20th century and is now in full swing, with profound implications for our understanding of mind, brain, and culture.    Link to ProSocial World website: https://www.prosocial.world/ If you would like to become an AFFILIATE of the Center, please let us know.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get updates on our latest videos.Follow along with us on Instagram | Facebook NOTE: The views and opinions expressed by the speaker do not necessarily reflect those held by the Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture or Emory University.

Is the human body a cosmic accident, or is it the handiwork of a master engineer? Today on ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with physician Dr. Howard Glicksman, co-author with engineer Steve Laufmann of the new book Your Amazing Body, a fresh, abridged version of their previous book Your Designed Body. In Part 1 of the conversation, Dr. Glicksman begins by contrasting unguided material causes (Darwinism) with intentional intelligent causes, emphasizing that intelligent design better explains the intricate, interdependent coherence found within the human body. He argues that Darwinian evolution only describes how life looks, failing to explain the complex functional capacity, control systems, and engineering principles required for life to actually work and survive. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Visit www.idthefuture.com for more episodes! Source

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. John G. West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute and co-founder of its Center for Science and Culture.

Listen to our conversation on faith, worldview, and the power of purpose in leadership.

On this episode of ID The Future out of our archive, plant geneticist Richard Buggs speaks to the hosts of the Table Talk podcast about the long-standing claim that science and religion are at odds. The myth that science and religion are incompatible, also known as the warfare myth, was conjured by materialists bent on propagating a Darwinian view of life. But in reality, many of the giants of the scientific revolution, including Newton, Kepler, Boyle, and others, were inspired to do great science because of their faith, not in spite of it. The faith Dr. Buggs examples turns out to be a science starter, not a science stopper. Source

A @Christadelphians Video: Dr. S. Palmer discusses the relationship between science and the Bible, arguing they are not contradictory, but rather complementary.### Highlights-

Many think that science has disproven God, or at least shown that He is superfluous. Nothing could be further from the case. I show how science cannot, even in principle, disprove God's existence. I also examine whether science has truly been able to explain the things God has typically been invoked to explain such as the origin of the universe, the origin of life, and the diversity of life. In the process, I talk about why Darwinian evolution fails and why theists are not committing the God of the gaps fallacy. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

4/4: This file covers CMB aftermath, Gamow's vindication, and Hoyle's controversial final years. CMB proved Big Bang theory, establishing cosmos temperature at 2.73 Kelvin and age at 13.8 billion years. Gamow (died 1968) wrote Princeton researchers, seeking recognition for his and Ralph Alpher's 1940s CMBcalculations. Hoyle's work with Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge and William Fowler on heavy elements was genius, but only Fowler received the Nobel Prize. Hoyle never forgave Willie Fowler. Speculation includes the committee distancing from Hoyle's fringe theories or Hans Bethe misunderstanding Hoyle's role. Hoyle moved to Lake District, pursuing panspermia theory—life spreading via cosmic travelers. He rejected Darwinian evolution, claiming Earth too young, ironically gaining young-earth creationist support despite atheism. He proposed diseases like AIDS arrived via comets, viewed as eccentric. Both were "seat-of-the-pants thinkers," though Hoyle more stubbornly clung to strange concepts. Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern

Could you explain irreducible complexity to a friend? How about firing off three reasons you believe it to be true? You never know when you'll be asked to explain your scientific worldview to a family member, friend, or associate. The real question: are you ready? On this ID The Future, we get another chance to learn from biochemist Dr. Michael Behe. Here, Dr. Behe discusses his journey into the field of biochemistry, his key concept of irreducible complexity, and the distinctions between intelligent design and creationism. The conversation also explores scientific and philosophical objections to intelligent design, the implications of Darwinian evolution, and the significance of recent scientific advancements in understanding life's complexity.

Do evolutionary models adequately account for the reality of human altruism, moral conviction, and cooperation? Does intelligent design offer a better explanation? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins discussing these questions and more with geologist and attorney Casey Luskin. McDiarmid's recent article exploring scientific worldview in the Marvel universe generated some lively back-and-forth in the comments section, particularly about whether evolutionary processes could account for humans looking out for other humans. Luskin tackles the question head-on, putting it in the larger context of evolutionary psychology's penchant for explaining every possible human behavior through the lens of a Darwinian past.

We all know people who have suffered with cancer. It's a major affliction of our modern world and many scientists are studying it closely to find a cure. Karl Krueger is one such scientist who has spent much of his career in cancer research. Today, host Casey Luskin speaks with Krueger about his work and what cancer can teach us about the limits of Darwinian processes. In his tenure at the National Cancer Institute, Krueger had a front-row seat to cancer research progress. After reviewing countless research projects and mountains of data, Krueger learned that cancer doesn't create new features at the molecular leveI, it degrades them. And breakage of aboriginal design is a hallmark of Darwinian processes. Krueger explains in this illuminating discussion. Source

* Of Pangolins and Protection: Fred and Ryan review the latest Creation Magazine, starting with the pangolin! Its an armored, anteater-like creature with keratin scales and unique defensive design. Evolutionists once linked it to armadillos, but genetic studies disproved the connection, forcing an appeal to convergent evolution—a recurring "rescue device" for failing Darwinian models. * Shark Skin and Airplanes: From ocean to air, shark skin's ridged structure reduces drag. Engineers have reverse-engineered this feature for airplane coatings and banned swimsuits. Like past guest Dr. Michael Egnor noted, reverse engineering proves intentional design. * A Forest from a Warmer Past: Global warming headlines falter as ancient warm-climate forests are discovered under melting snow in Wyoming.  * Dawkins vs. Dawkins: Irony strikes as atheist icon Richard Dawkins clashes with the Freedom From Religion Foundation over gender ideology. Dawkins is now censored for insisting humans can't change biological sex. As Romans 1 says, suppressing truth leads to folly. *  Life on Bennu? Not So Fast: NASA's return samples from asteroid Bennu contain racemic amino acids—both left and right-handed—suggesting death, not life. Fred and Ryan highlight the missed opportunity by CMI to support the Hydroplate Theory, which better explains why Earth-like materials (like serpentinite) are found in space. * Dire Wolves and DNA: A biotech firm claims to have "de-extincted" the Ice Age dire wolf using CRISPR and gray wolf DNA. But critics argue it's just a genetically engineered look-alike. The ethics—and science fiction parallels—raise valid concerns about modern tinkering with life. * Ant Eyes and Imaging Breakthroughs: Desert ants' compound eyes detect polarized light to navigate featureless landscapes. Chinese scientists copied this tech to enhance imaging—enabling detection of cancer cells without staining. Once again, man learns from the Master Engineer.

In this powerful and intellectually provocative episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads his essay from the Summer 2025 issue of Salvo Magazine, titled “Escape from the Acid Bath: Can Darwinism Support Morality?” Drawing from his broader work in Christian Apologetics (2nd ed.), Dr. Groothuis critically examines the claim that Darwinian evolution can serve as a sufficient foundation for objective morality, contrasting that with the moral implications of a theistic worldview grounded in divine character and design. This essay-style episode surveys the views of prominent atheists such as Daniel Dennett, Karl Marx, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris, and demonstrates the internal philosophical weaknesses of moral theories rooted in evolutionary naturalism. Instead, Dr. Groothuis makes a compelling case for Judeo-Christian theism as the only viable foundation for universal moral truths.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Danielle Teller about how her creative journey defies conventional wisdom about career paths. From Yale-trained pulmonologist studying lung disease to acclaimed novelist, her story demonstrates how life's unexpected turns might lead us exactly where we're meant to be."I was a huge bookworm when I was a kid, but I was too chicken to actually write," Teller says. She explains how her fears centered on financial insecurity and feeling she lacked stories to tell, until a cross-country move disrupted her academic medical career and her husband encouraged her to pursue this long-held dream.Teller's latest novel, Forged, transports readers to America's Gilded Age through the story of Fanny, a desperate young woman navigating a Darwinian world of social stratification and ruthless capitalism. What makes this historical fiction particularly compelling is Teller's revelation that our current era mirrors that period of extreme wealth disparities and political corruption. "I think that my research reinforced my feeling that we are in a second Gilded Age," she explains, describing the disturbing parallels between past and present.Our conversation ventures beyond the novel to explore the publishing industry's subjective nature, including how finding the right agent resembles "matchmaking." Teller's unique perspective shapes characters who defy traditional female protagonist tropes, creating women who actively forge their own destinies despite societal constraints.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode to help more readers discover thought-provoking historical fiction that illuminates both past and present.Danielle TellerForged, Danielle TellerOrbital, Samantha HarveyThe Elements of Eloquence, Mark ForsythGoddess Complex, Sanjena SathianSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Does intelligent design have a better answer for the origin of the universe and the origin of life than the standard neo-Darwinian explanation? Today, we'll enjoy the second half of a conversation about the scientific theory of intelligent design with geologist and attorney Dr. Casey Luskin and his wife, chemistry teacher Kristin Marais. In Part 2, Casey and Kristin discuss why intelligent design can offer a more satisfying explanation for the origin of the universe than competing theories. Casey also reviews the evidence for the fine-tuning of the laws and constants of the universe to allow for life, and the argument for design evidenced in the natural world. Kristin provides more detail about an important resource offered at the Discovery Institute: her online high school chemistry course, and what students will get out of it. And if you have an interest in engaging in the debate over evolution and the origin of life and the universe, Kristin and Casey have tips and advice on what to study and how to foster dialogue on these important topics.

Do you believe in evolution? That's a good question that could start a very productive conversation about the origin and development of life on Earth. But the first steps are clarifying what the word “evolution” actually means and why unguided evolutionary processes are limited in power and scope. Today, host Andrew McDiarmid invites you to revisit a segment from Dr. Stephen Meyer's 2023 interview with Joe Rogan. Meyer answers Rogan's probing question comprehensively. Yes, he tells Rogan, he believes in “real evolutionary processes,” but he also believes in the limitation of those evolutionary processes, and he takes several minutes to unpack and explain some of the challenges the standard neo-Darwinian account of life faces today. McDiarmid follows up by summarizing Meyer's response and sharing excerpts from Meyer's book Darwin's Doubt to explain the importance of Meyer's arguments to the debate over evolution. Source
