Podcasts about darwinian evolution

This week we are joined by Joel Tay of Creation Ministries International to preach on the link between Darwinian Evolution and the sin of Racism.

Many biology textbooks claim that the appendix, a vestigial organ, is a leftover evolutionary part of the human body. In Episode 3 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane provides evidence from various research articles to show how the appendix is in fact helpful for the body given by God, not an evolutionary leftover which came by chance. The appendix is part of our immune system, and it possesses lymphoid tissue, playing a role in antibody production. Join Michael in the E4F studio and examine how the appendix in humans is not a digestive organ, but an important construct in a wonderful design by our Creator God.Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/unpacking-darwinian-evolution/CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Did you know that wisdom teeth are used to support the theory of Darwinian Evolution? In Episode 2 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane adds support for why wisdom teeth are not vestigial organs and an evolutionary leftover. Many evolutionists claim that because we evolved from a lower ancestor millions of years ago, some evolutionary leftovers remain with us. They claim that we know our teeth evolved more slowly than the jaw, and one of these leftovers are wisdom teeth. Join Michael in the E4F studio and examine the observable science of wisdom teeth and how it fails to support Darwinian Evolution.Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/unpacking-darwinian-evolution/CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

In Episode 1 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane lays out foundational arguments he formerly believed related to the evolution theory. Along the way, Michael examines quotes from three leading figures who also considered the validity of transitional fossils, from late evolutionary biologist Dr. Stephen J. Gould, former director of The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago Dr. David Raup, and famous paleontologist and evolutionist of the London Museum of Natural History Dr. Colin Patterson. Join Michael in the E4F studio and unpack the theory of evolution to build up your defense of the living Creator.Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/unpacking-darwinian-evolution/CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

*Top 10 List: Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney review their list of the top 10 things people still believe, that science has proven wrong. #10: Vestigial Organs -  The most popular one growing up was the appendix, remember? Until this (from PubMed in 2016). And don't forget tonsils!  #9: GPS won't work without Einsteinian relativity. It will, and does. #8: Junk DNA - There's no such thing! We're only beginning to comprehend DNA. And to have ever assumed any of it was junk was foolishness! #7: Lucy is a Human Ancestor - Poppycock! #6: Plate Tectonics - The fourth-biggest-dumbest theory going, (after Darwinian Evolution, the Big Bang, and Einsteinian Relativity). #5: Dangerous Anthropogenic Climate Change - Fifth biggest-dumbest... #4: Darwin's Tree of Life - That dog don't hunt, and lies like a rug! #3: The Big Bang: See #'s 4 & 5, the James Webb Space Telescope, and our favorite! Genesis One. #2: Evolution: Ha! Yeah.... right! (Also, see Genesis One again). Neo-Darwinism is so laughably preposterous even foolish atheists like Jimmy Shapiro are beginning to re-evaluate the emperor's outfit.  #1: Dinosaurs lived and went extinct millions of years ago. We've long had solid evidence that man and dinosaurs lived together, from cliff and cave drawings to the tomb of Richard Bell, to Chinese calendars... and of course all that dinosaur soft tissue in all those fossils!

Refutation of Darwinism & Confirmation of Intelligent Design. Fossil Discontinuities - Gunter Bechly The fossil record is dominated by abrupt appearances of new body plans and new groups of organisms. This conflicts with the gradualistic prediction of Darwinian Evolution. Here 18 explosive origins in the history of life are described, demonstrating that the famous Cambrian Explosion is far from being the exception to the rule. Also the fossil record establishes only very brief windows of time for the origin of complex new features, which creates a ubiquitous waiting time problem for the origin and fixation of the required coordinated mutations. This refutes the viability of the Neo-Darwinian evolutionary process as the single conceivable naturalistic or mechanistic explanation for biological origins, and thus confirms Intelligent Design as the only reasonable alternative. - See more at www.FOCLonline.org FOCLID 9055   Watch this presentation at- https://youtu.be/M7w5QGqcnNs?si=qiq0Pxuv6AHKCST1 FOCLOnline 82.4K subscribers 23,879 views Oct 11, 2018 Chapters Intro 0:00   Gaps of Evidence? 1:48   Incompleteness of the Fossil Record? 2:47   The Origin of Life 5:10   Late Heavy Bombardment 5:40   Origin of Photosynthesis 7:11   Avalon Explosion 8:08   Cambrian Explosion 10:08 For the best resource for shows on Intelligent Design visit-  Discovery Science The Discovery Science News Channel is the official Youtube channel of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture.

Matt describes his own evolution from 9'11 to his time as part of the LaRouche movement through his present day work. Marc and Matt discuss the common threads - and familiar names - that have pulled the strings behind the intersecting narratives that have been imbued through the educational, governmental and pop culture systems, in particular those related to Darwinian evolution and UFO's. In the Smoke-Filled Room for Premium subscribers, Marc digs deeper with Matt on the subject of Jacques Vallee, his work on the "Invisible College", and his suspect occult and intelligence connections.Support our fantastic sponsors at Fox n' Sons Coffee - FoxnSons.com - use discount code MCS for 18% off you order!Subscribe on one of the following platforms to get the full version of every episode including the "Smoke-Filled Room" before anyone else, as well as exclusive bonus episodes!

Anno Domini 2071 by Pieter Harting audiobook. Curious to see how the world was imagined to be 50 years from now? Harting, under the pseudonym Dr. Dioscorides, originally published his steampunk utopian novelette in 1865 under the title Anno 2065, but soon had to publish new editions because of all the changes happening at the time. We have in the catalogue the 1870 edition 'Anno 2070' recorded in Dutch. This is the English translation of that edition, published in 1871, and naturally titled 'Anno Domini 2071'. It isn't free from racial defamation, but it does contain some radical ideas for its time, like the Suffragette movement, the Darwinian Evolution model, and many creatively imagined inventions!

In 1973, evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote that “nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution.” Almost 50 years later, an increasing number of scientists are asking whether evolution makes any sense in light of what we now know from biology.   A recent long-form essay in The Guardian signals just how urgent the problem has become for the most dominant theory in the history of the sciences. In it, author Stephen Buranyi gives voice to a growing number of scientists who think it's time for a “new theory of evolution.”    For a long time, descent with slight modifications and natural selection have been “the basic” (and I'd add, unchallengeable) “story of evolution.” Organisms change, and those that survive pass on traits. Though massaged a bit to incorporate the discovery of DNA, the theory of evolution by natural selection has dominated for 150 years, especially in biology. The “drive to survive” is credited as the creative force behind all the artistry and engineering we see in nature.    “The problem,” writes Buranyi, is that “according to a growing number of scientists,” this basic story is “absurdly crude and misleading.” For one thing, Darwinian evolution assumes much of what it needs to be explained. For instance, consider the origin of light-sensitive cells that rearranged to become the first eye, or the blood vessels that became the first placenta. How did these things originate? According to one University of Indiana biologist, “we still do not have a good answer. The classic idea of gradual change, one happy accident at a time,” he says, “has so far fallen flat.”   This scientific doubt about Darwin has been simmering for a while. In 2014, an article in the journal Nature, jointly authored by eight scientists from diverse fields, argued that evolutionary theory was in need of a serious rethink. They called their proposed rethink the “Extended Evolutionary Synthesis,” and a year later, the Royal Society in London held a conference to discuss it.    Along with Darwinian blind spots like the origin of the eye, the Extended Synthesis seeks to deal with the discovery of epigenetics, an emerging field that studies inherited traits not mediated by DNA. Then there are the rapid mutations that evade natural selection, a fossil record that appears to move in “short, concentrated bursts” (or “explosions”), and something called “plasticity,” which is the ability we now know living things have to adapt physically to their environments in a single generation without genetically evolving.   These discoveries—some recent, others long ignored by mainstream biology—challenge natural selection as the “grand theory” of life. All of them hint that living things are greater marvels and mysteries than we ever imagined. And, unsurprisingly, all of these discoveries have been controversial.   The Guardian article describes how Royal Society scientists and Nobel laureates alike boycotted the conference, attacking the extended synthesis as “irritating” and “disgraceful,” and its proponents as “revolutionaries.” As Gerd Müller, head of the department of theoretical biology at the University of Vienna helpfully explained, “Parts of the modern synthesis are deeply ingrained in the whole scientific community, in funding networks, positions, professorships. It's a whole industry.”   Such resistance isn't too surprising for anyone who's been paying attention. Any challenges to the established theory of life's origins, whether from Bible-believing scientists or intelligent design theorists, have long been dismissed as religion in a lab coat.   The habit of fixing upon a dogma and calling it “settled science” is just bad science that stunts our understanding of the world. It is a kind of idolatry that places “science” in the seat of God, appoints certain scientists as priests capable of giving answers no fallible human can offer, and feigns certainty where real questions remain. The great irony is that this image of scientist-as-infallible-priest makes them seem like the caricature of medieval monks charging their hero Galileo with heresy for his dissent from the consensus.   As challenges to Darwin mount, we should be able to articulate why “settled science” makes such a poor god. And we should encourage the science and the scientists challenging this old theory-turned-dogma and holding it to its own standards. After all, if Darwinian evolution is as unfit as it now seems, it shouldn't survive.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

How strong is the evidence for Darwinian evolution? What are the limits of the Darwinian mechanism? How should concepts like evolution and science best be defined? On this episode of ID The Future, we bring to you the first three video lectures from a new online course by molecular and cell biologist Jonathan Wells. In the first brief lecture, Wells explains his own evolution; the evolution of his thinking about evolution, that is. You'll glean some interesting details about Wells's career here. In the second lecture, Wells defines the word evolution by reminding us of its various meanings and uses. He also describes how Darwin's theory of natural selection became the framework that bolstered a materialistic metaphysic that endures today. You'll learn that Darwin's proposal relied less on evidence-based science and more on theological and philosophical arguments. In the third lecture, Wells defines science, and explains what happens when the definition of science is confined to naturalistic explanations only. Every so often, says Wells, enough data accumulates to present a challenge to the prevailing scientific framework. It happened in Newton's day. It happened in Darwin's day. And it may happen again soon, if the mounting evidence supportive of intelligent design is any indication. Learn more about Wells's online course at discoveryu.org. Over 40 short video lectures, Wells explains the major concepts of both chemical and biological evolution, and he critically assesses the evidence for evolution offered by genetics, developmental biology, fossils, and more. Wells deals with some of the most popular “icons” of evolution found in standard textbooks, including Darwin's finches, whales, antibiotic resistance, peppered moths, “junk” DNA, and more. Source

On today's ID the Future, Your Designed Body co-author and physician Howard Glicksman talks with host and neurosurgery professor Michael Egnor about Glicksman's new book, co-authored with systems engineer Steve Laufmann. Glicksman walks through a series of systems in the human body that are each irreducibly complex, and are each part of larger coherent interdependent systems. As Glicksman puts it, the human body is “irreducible complexity on steroids.” How could blind evolutionary processes, such as neo-Darwinism's joint mechanism of natural selection working on random genetic mutations, build this bio-engineering marvel? Your Designed Body makes the case that it couldn't. It's not even close. What is required instead is foresight, planning, and engineering genius. Source

On this ID the Future, intelligent design scientist Casey Luskin sits down with Summit Ministries podcast host Dr. Jeff Myers to explain the heart of intelligent design theory and why it should matter to Christians and to anyone who prizes a culture committed to the view that life is meaningful and human beings more than matter in motion. Luskin also makes a quick case against evolutionist attempts to explain the origin of exquisite molecular machines like the bacterial flagellum motor, and he offers some advice for pro-ID college students facing professors hostile to anything that challenges mainstream evolutionary theory.  Source

We discuss what Russ Miller refers to as "Weapons of Mass Instruction," as he takes us back a few centuries through American history and what we rarely hear about the origins of our education system. Much has been said about the symptoms of decay and decline in public schools and culture we've been seeing for decades, but we how we got here is not often addressed. The post Russ Miller: Rewritten History, Deception In Education, Culture appeared first on Stand Up For The Truth - Addressing Issues & Topics Affecting Christians Across The Nation. 9 - 10 a.m. Central M-.

On this ID the Future from the vault, Professor Emeritus Michael Flannery (U of Alabama-Birmingham) continues discussing evolutionist Kenneth Miller's book The Human Instinct: How We Evolved to Have Reason, Consciousness, and Free Will. Flannery suggests that Miller's “theistic evolution” is more precisely Darwinian theism — and that such a marriage is as ultimately hopeless as squaring the proverbial circle. Part 1 is here. Source

Today's ID the Future completes a talk by award-winning British engineer Stuart Burgess, who explains how the human ankle and wrist joints offer powerful evidence of engineering genius. Burgess is answering evolutionist Nathan Lents, who has argued that human joints are badly designed and, therefore, evidence against intelligent design and for Darwinian evolution's blind trial-and-error process. According to Burgess, Lents ignores—and seems to be ignorant of—the many ingeniously engineered features of our joints, leading Lents to make easily refuted claims. For example, Lents says an ankle with fused bones would be a superior design to a healthy human ankle. Not if the person hopes to play squash or tackle any number of other activities that require the suppleness and responsiveness of Read More › Source

A study conducted by University of Basel and Rockefeller University looking at thousands of mitochondrial DNA from various animal species has found that no species is older than 200,000 years old. The vast majority of animal life was determined to be about the same age! But, why did such a tenuous scientific hypothesis attract such an enthusiastic reception from 99% of the scientific community?  What went wrong? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Queen Elizabeth II died--having shared Christ's light; Zambia, Africa celebrates New Testament translation; Ugandan Muslims threw 5 Christian evangelists overboard) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

Today's ID the Future wraps up a debate over evolution and intelligent design between Lehigh University biologist Michael Behe and Benedictine College theologian Michael Ramage. Both Behe and Ramage are Catholic, and they carry on their conversation in the context of Catholic thinking about nature and creation, in particular the work of Thomas Aquinas and contemporary Thomist philosophers. Ramage seeks to integrate his Thomistic/personalist framework with modern evolutionary theory's commitment to macroevolution and common descent. Behe doesn't discount the possibility of common descent but lays out a case that any evolution beyond the level of genus (for instance, the separate families containing cats and dogs) cannot be achieved through mindless Darwinian mechanisms and, instead, would require the contributions of a Read More › Source

Stephen Meyer vs. Peter Ward.  Is Intelligent Design Science? Intelligent Design and Darwinian Evolution. https://youtu.be/0gopgwYTkq0 3,933 views Jun 15, 2022 Stephen Meyer 29.4K subscribers Stephen Meyer squares off with University of Washington paleontologist Peter Ward in this Talk of the Times Debate in Seattle on April 26th, 2006. The topic? Is intelligent design science?  ====================================================== This is the official Youtube page of Dr. Stephen Meyer, director of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. His latest book is Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries that Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe (2021), see https://returnofthegodhypothesis.com/. Praise for Return of the God Hypothesis: "This book makes it clear that far from being an unscientific claim, intelligent design is valid science." BRIAN JOSEPHSON, NOBEL LAUREATE IN PHYSICS; FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY; EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Meyer is also the author of The New York Times best selling book Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the case for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2013), and Signature In The Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (2009). For more information about Dr. Meyer, his research, and his books visit https://stephencmeyer.org/. "No one else in my experience can explicate such complex material with the grace and clarity that seem so effortless to Stephen Meyer. With cold logic and meticulous rational analysis of the latest discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology, Meyer confirms a truth that the ideologues find too frightening even to consider. By the ad hominem nature of their attacks on his brilliant work, they confirm its importance and suggest an eventual end to the scientism that warps our culture." DEAN KOONTZ, NEW YORK TIMES #1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR The CSC is the institutional hub for scientists, educators, and inquiring minds who think that nature supplies compelling evidence of intelligent design. The CSC supports research, sponsors educational programs, defends free speech, and produce articles, books, and multimedia content.

Today's ID the Future continues intelligent design theorist Casey Luskin's conversation with Apologetics 315 podcast hosts Brian Auten and Chad Gross. Here in Part 2, Luskin give a peek behind the scenes of ID 3.0, the current research program inspired by the intelligent design framework. Luskin is then asked to explain his reservations about theistic evolution, and Luskin points out the evidential, rhetorical, and logical problems he sees with the brand of theistic evolution advocated by Francis Collins and Biologos. What about the future of the intelligent design movement? Luskin says he's optimistic, both because of the exciting research and publication breakthroughs of late, and because of the many converts he's seeing to the ID framework. According to Luskin, many of these Read More › Source

From the vault: German paleontologist Günter Bechly is co-author (with Stephen C. Meyer) of the chapter titled “The Fossil Record and Universal Common Ancestry” in the book Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique.  In this second conversation with Sarah Chaffee on this topic, Bechly moves on from the Cambrian explosion to discuss “life's second ‘big bang.’” He then touches on other biological explosions, including the Avalon explosion, the Triassic explosion, the origin of flowering plants, and the origin of placental mammals. “There's no reasonable way,” Bechly concludes, “to get from bacteria to mammals via evolutionary processes.” Source
