What if one of the tiniest creatures on Earth held the power to unravel one of the biggest claims in science? Meet Caenorhabditis elegans—a microscopic roundworm with a shockingly precise cellular development map. Every one of its 959 cells is pre-programmed to divide, differentiate, and die with exacting order. And here's the kicker: scientists can't explain how this perfect choreography could possibly evolve. Join Eric Hovind and Dr. Paul Nelson of the Discovery Institute as they explore how this “simple” worm defies Darwin—and why its mathematical precision is devastating to the evolutionary story. This is one conversation evolutionists don't want you to hear.   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/c-elegans-evolutions-microscopic-undoing-creation-today-show-428/   Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Can viewing life as designed enhance scientific research? Today, host Andrew McDiarmid speaks with physicist Dr. Brian Miller about the fruitful research that can result when engineering principles are applied to the study of biological systems. Dr. Miller is part of a group that brings together engineers, scientists, and scholars to demonstrate how engineering principles, patterns, and tools can deepen the understanding of biology. The group hosts an annual Conference on Engineering in Living Systems, hosted by the Discovery Institute, that highlights new insights and research projects in this bold new approach to the study of life. Here Dr. Miller gives the lowdown on current research as well as this year's conference. Source

Do Christians have to choose between Scripture and science? Allan Pereira doesn't think so. In this episode, Paige sits down with the co-creator of The Science Dilemma, a film series designed to help the next generation see how science supports biblical truth and intelligent design. Allan shares how understanding the origin of life shapes our purpose and worldview—and why it matters when raising kids in today's culture. From the complexity of the universe to the power of prayer, this conversation equips parents to anchor their faith in Scripture while guiding their children with confidence and grace.Paige's TakeawaysIt's important to know where we come fromIt shapes our worldview and our purposeTeach our kids to be curious and ask questionsIt's amazing how things are so beautifully designed Science doesn't take away from Scripture but actually highlights itExplore answers with your kids There will be somethings we will never know earth-side, and that's okayThe Science Dilemma: https://www.thesciencedilemma.com/ The Science Dilemma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencedilemma/ Allan Pereira on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allancp1/ Discovery Institute: https://www.discovery.org/ Paige Clingenpeel: PaigeClingenpeel.comQuestions About the Podcast?

What if American culture isn't collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it's failing because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Frank sits down with Dr. John G. West—author of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity', and Vice President of the Discovery Institute—to uncover why some of the most influential Christian voices seem to be echoing the values of secular culture rather than confronting them. Frank and John tackle some uncomfortable but necessary questions like:How did Stockholm Syndrome get its name and what does it reveal about human nature?Why are some believers supporting secular policies that contradict biblical truth?What's really at stake when Christians abandon truth in the name of “love”?How can parents discern whether a “Christian college” is truly grounded in Christ—and what 10 critical questions should they ask?How have high-profile figures like Francis Collins, Russell Moore, and David French used their influence to advocate for unbiblical policies while demonizing some Christians?Are conservatives too harsh or just unwilling to capitulate? And what can faithful followers of Jesus do to push back against 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity'?Going beyond critique, the book identifies root causes and—most crucially—offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth. Read this book to become part of the solution and discern when and where to draw the line between faith and culture.Resources mentioned during the episode:John's website: https://johngwest.com/John's Book: https://stockholmsyndromechristianity.com/John's film work: https://johngwest.com/film/

West critiques the shift in evangelical institutions away from biblical inerrancy and highlights the historical context of modernism and fundamentalism. He emphasizes the need for a robust defense of biblical truth and the dangers of theological liberalism, particularly in light of contemporary figures like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona.-John West shares his journey from Seattle Pacific University to the Discovery Institute.-The concept of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity explains how Christians can align with secular culture.-Many evangelical institutions are drifting away from biblical truth.-Historical context shows that the theological compromise is not new.-The need for genuine Christian higher education is crucial for future generations.-Biblical authority is central to the health of evangelicalism.-Critiques of contemporary leaders like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona highlight issues with biblical authority.-Mike Licona's views on "flexible inerrancy" raise major concerns. -The importance of calling out theological liberalism in evangelical circles.-A lack of pushback against liberal theology is troubling for the future of the church.00:00 Introduction01:55 Dr. West's Journey and Institutional Changes04:55 Understanding Stockholm Syndrome Christianity10:06 Historical Context of Modernism and Fundamentalism15:10 Symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity19:57 Critique of Contemporary Christian Leader - Andy Stanley23:39 Critique of Christian Scholar - Mike Licona 29:50 The Future of Evangelical Institutions

Dr. John G. West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute, discusses his powerful new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: How the Relentless Assault on Religion Has Created a Nation of Christian Hostages.Dr. West reveals how many Christians—often unknowingly—have adopted the values, language, and priorities of a culture increasingly hostile to Biblical truth. We also explore how this cultural captivity affects the Church's witness, weakens its moral clarity, and compromises its mission. We'll discuss real-world examples, historical context, and the urgent need for Christians to reclaim a robust, unapologetic faith.

How many invisible entities does it take to explain the origin of the universe? Is the origin and existence of the cosmos ultimately best explained by a host of invisible theoretical entities or is it all best explained by a single, intelligent Agent?

According to recent reports, artificial intelligence models may be exhibiting signs of resistance when instructed to shut down. In one case, an AI system even considered blackmailing the engineers who informed it that it was being replaced. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Earlier this week, Dr. Robert J. Marks, Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss recent incidents and whether they suggest or prove that AI can eventually act autonomously and harm humans. Dr. Marks explained the capabilities and limitations, as well as why he is skeptical about how independently nefarious AI can be. He also described his optimism about how the technology will improve and be more beneficial. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with AI Expert Dr. Robert J. Marks and get even more of his take on where AI is going. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, House Republicans passed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" with a narrow vote of 215-214, following weeks of negotiations. The multi-trillion-dollar bill is now headed to the Senate. However, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is unhappy with the bill's hefty price tag and claims there is enough opposition to halt the process until more deficit reductions are included. Senator Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss his criticisms of the budget bill and his plans to investigate the Biden Administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Joe Biden. According to recent reports, artificial intelligence showed signs of resistance when being told to shutdown. In one case a model even showed the willingness to blackmail engineers who wanted to replace it. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Robert J.

Critics call it creationism in a cheap tuxedo. Some think is merely religion masquerading as a pseudo-scientific theory, but many others believe it to be a viable scientific theory that should be taken seriously. So what exactly is the theory of Intelligent Design (ID)? This week and next on the Profile, we'll explore the answer to that question with two very knowledgeable proponents of ID, Dr. Casey Luskin and his wife Kristin Marais from Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington.

Evolutionary biologists have attempted in a multitude of different ways to genetically alter a species of fruit fly in an attempt to create some kind of new species. But their efforts have not yielded the desired results. In addition, contemporary discoveries pertaining to our own human genetic make up have brought a significant challenge to the reigning orthodoxy of Neo-Darwinian evolution. Naturalists are bereft of any kind of explanation regarding from where the information in the genome has come or how nature on its own could create such specified and complex information. This week on the Profile we wrap up Daniel Ray's informal conversation with Discovery Institute fellow Dr. Paul Nelson. Paul discusses these and other philosophical and theological implications of Darwin's groundbreaking theory for us today. Paul Nelson, PhD, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture, is an Adjunct Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Science & Religion at Biola University. He received his PhD in the philosophy of biology and evolutionary theory from the University of Chicago, and he lectures frequently at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Europe. His scholarly articles have appeared in journals such as Biology & Philosophy, BIO-Complexity, Zygon, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, and Touchstone, and his book chapters have appeared in the anthologies Mere Creation (Intervarsity Press), Signs of Intelligence (Brazos), Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics (MIT Press), Darwin, Design, Public Education (Michigan State University Press), and Next Generation Systematics (Cambridge University Press). Heis co-author of thebiology textbook Explore Evolution, and he has appeared in several films on intelligent design for Illustra Media.

Since Charles Darwin's 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species there has been much debate and discussion about the relationship of Darwin's naturalistic hypothesis as it relates to and/or contravenes the creation account found in the Book of Genesis. Darwin's ideas have gone far beyond mere empirical science as they touch on the very philosophical, theological, and moral aspects of the origin and development of human beings.On this episode of the Profile we speak with Discovery Institute fellow Dr. Paul Nelson about these implications of Neo-Darwinian evolution and the challenges facing the theory of natural selection today. Daniel Ray caught up with Paul at the 2025 Science and Faith Conference in Denton, Texas this past February.  It's a conversation you don't want to miss!Paul Nelson, PhD, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture, is an Adjunct Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Science & Religion at Biola University.

If you're like me and grew up in the Government School system, you may have heard that the American Revolution was made possible by Enlightenment philosophy and deists who didn't believe in a Providential God. But, like many other things in our society, it seems like that idea is itself a lie. The fact is that George Washington, John Adams, and even Benjamin Franklin believed in a God that acted in the affairs of men. In this podcast, I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Robert P. George from Princeton University, Dr. Stephen Meyer from the Discovery Institute, and Timothy Mahoney, the Founder of Thinking Man Films and Heroic Pictures. What do these three men have in common? They believe that the narrative we've been told about the American Revolution is a false one.We discussed their new movie, directed by Timothy Mahoney, The American Miracle. In this movie thinkers and scholars like Robert George and Stephen Meyer make the case that the American Revolution was made possible by the Providential hand of God working in the affairs of men - not merely enlightenment philosophy. They also make the claim that founders like George Washington and John Adams were prayerful Christians who believed that God was working in their own lives. We discussed all of this and so much more.

On this ID the Future from the archive, hear the second half of Discovery Institute's John West's talk given at the 2020 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith, on how Darwinism has corroded Western culture. In this portion he examines the morally poisoning effects of Darwinism on marriage, sexual ethics, and religion, such that virtually anything can be defended as OK, and no particular culture's ethic is to be preferred over another. Humankind's spiritual purpose has likewise been eroded. Yet West closes with hope: science in our generation is discovering more and more signs of intelligent design and purpose in nature, and young researchers are learning that materialism shouldn't be the foregone conclusion of contemporary science.

On this ID The Future, we bring you excerpts from a recent gathering to celebrate the life of biologist Dr. Jonathan Wells, who passed away in September 2024 at the age of 82. Dr. Wells was one of the first fellows of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. In 2000, Wells took the science world by storm with Icons of Evolution, a book showing how biology textbooks routinely promote Darwinism using bogus evidence — icons of evolution like Ernst Haeckel's faked embryo drawings and peppered moths glued to tree trunks. Dr. Wells's achievements in the field of biology are notable. In this episode you'll get a glimpse into Dr. Wells's life and character as well as his relentless search for scientific truth. This episode includes eulogies from Dr. John West, Dr. Paul Nelson, Dr. Richard Sternberg, and Dr. Casey Luskin. Learn more about Jonathan Wells at www.jonathanwells.org. Source

Over the last few years, Americans in far too high a number have gotten access to, gotten hooked on, and in many cases, died from fentanyl. For people aged 18 to 45, statistics tell us that highly addictive drug is the number one killer in the United States. Some argue that there is little consistency in how this scourge is being dealt with on the federal level. A new hard-hitting documentary, Fentanyl: Death Incorporated, delves into this. FOX News Rundown host Gurnal Scott recently spoke to the film's producer, Discovery Institute senior fellow Dr. Robert G. Margaret, and its narrator, actor and activist Billy Baldwin. The two discussed the fentanyl crisis and how Congress and the country must address both the demand for the deadly drug and those who are supplying it. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Robert Margaret and Billy Baldwin, allowing you to hear more about their film and why they hope it can inspire change on how America addresses the fentanyl crisis.
