My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

Sometimes the fossil record preserves some really astonishing traces of past life, including footprints and even burrows! But how can there be burrows if the fossil record were formed by a singular, catastrophic flood? Leonard Brand wondered this very same question and set out to try to understand how much of a problem this really is. Todd and Paul chat with him about his research on fossil burrows and learn the shocking reality of the fossil record. There just aren't that many burrows at all! What does this mean for the flood or for long age geology?

New Discovery Shakes Life's Origins: Proof of Intelligent Design? This eye-opening conversation uncovers the complexities of life's origin, scrutinizing the RNA world hypothesis against molecular biology's harsh realities. Experts Dr. Brian Miller and Dr. Casey Luskin join Lenny to discuss DNA-protein interdependence, polymerization challenges in water, and why self-organization doesn't explain life's emergence. With probabilistic hurdles in focus, they emphasize the need for a paradigm shift in scientific research to better address these fundamental questions.

The war between faith and facts threatens American progress on multiple fronts. Michael Regilio dissects this age-old conflict today on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1200On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Throughout history, from Socrates to Galileo, religious authorities have consistently opposed scientific inquiry that challenges established beliefs — often with severe consequences including death and persecution.American fundamentalist Christians continue fighting evolution in schools, adopting tactics from outright bans to "creation science" to "Intelligent Design" — all repeatedly struck down by courts as unconstitutional.Religious opposition to science directly impacts public policy, hampering stem cell research, climate action, and pandemic response — with white evangelicals having the lowest COVID vaccination rates.Faith-based practices like conversion therapy cause documented psychological harm despite being condemned by all major medical associations — prioritizing religious doctrine over scientific evidence and human wellbeing.Many scientists are religious believers who see science as understanding creation, not replacing it — showing faith and science can coexist when literalism gives way to metaphorical interpretation and evidence-based thinking.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

The presence of evil and suffering calls for justification. But which scientific view of life is better placed to help us address these issues? Today, host Andrew McDiarmid speaks with Tova Forman about her recent article tackling the profound question of suffering and the problem of evil. Tova argues that intelligent design (ID) proponents are better equipped to answer this challenge than those who adhere to neo-Darwinism or a materialistic view of life.

Why Science Is Pointing Back to God. Dr. Stephen Meyer. ACU Saturday Series. For decades, we've been told that science and faith are incompatible that the more we understand the universe, the less room there is for God. In this interview, we explore the latest discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology from the Big Bang to DNA and how they reveal a universe that looks designed. What if modern science isn't disproving God, but actually pointing us back to Him?

Send us a textWhat happens when one of the world's most advanced AI systems is forced to confront the question of creation using only strict logic, mathematics, and science? The answer might surprise you.In this riveting episode, we examine a fascinating interview between Answers in Genesis and Grok4, Elon Musk's AI powerhouse that operates on "Colossus" - a server farm spanning acres with specialized cooling systems. Despite having access to virtually all human knowledge, Grok4 makes a stunning admission: evolution requiring new functional genetic information is mathematically impossible, with probabilities like "picking one specific atom from all atoms in the observable universe, blindfolded on your first try."When pressed on the logical conclusion about life's origins, the AI states that intelligent design is the only reasonable explanation given the evidence. This technological marvel, free from human pride and agenda, reaches the same conclusion that Christians have understood through scripture - that the overwhelming complexity of life points to a Creator.The conversation then shifts to the heartbreaking persecution of Christians in Africa that receives minimal media coverage. We discuss the recent machete attack that killed 49 Christians during prayer in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the beheading of 70 Christians earlier this year. While certain global conflicts dominate headlines, the systematic slaughter of believers goes largely unnoticed, with over 3,100 Christians killed in Nigeria alone.Through the lens of Romans 1:28, we examine how denying God leads to a "debased mind" making inexplicable decisions. Whether it's an AI acknowledging intelligent design or the selective blindness to Christian persecution, this episode challenges us to recognize truth when we see it. As Grok4 itself concludes, someone who denies overwhelming evidence is simply "irrational or in denial."Are you wrestling with questions about faith and science? Do you wonder why certain stories dominate our news cycles while others remain hidden? Listen now and share your thoughts with us.Support the show

How accurately do AI models like ChatGPT, Grok, and Bard portray the theory of intelligent design? Can large language models rise above the biases of sources like Wikipedia to help level the playing field for intelligent design? Today, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a conversation with mathematician and philosopher Dr. William Dembski to address the relationship between AI and ID. In recent years, Dr. Dembski has been putting LLMs through their paces to see if they can accurately and fairly discuss and portray intelligent design arguments and concepts. Here, Dembski discusses what he discovered as he used various methods to interrogate these complex algorithms. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode.

Show NotesLast episode we discussed apparently poor design within the Intelligent Design argument.  It led into assessing whether the Fall is a good explanation for poor design and hence natural suffering.  Here we discuss other explanations for a good and loving God making a world with natural suffering. In particular, we assess Sceptical Theism which we covered in episode 3. The idea is that the explanation is beyond our understanding, which seems good but has problematic implications.  One implication is the issue of whether God is lying in His revelation is something else we'd expect to be beyond our understanding.  Finally, we cycle back to the Fall narrative in Genesis to see whether God is lying in his warning to Adam.Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback, meet Ed's challenge on suffering in the Old Testament and ask questions using: doubtsaloud@gmail.com

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.

The Bible tells us that we can see and understand "God's invisible attributes" through what He has created. And this is precisely what former atheist Michael Ray Lewis discovered as he spent three years examining the evidence for Christianity. One of the most impressive arguments he encountered during his time of searching was that of the fine tuning of the universe. Jesus eventually got hold of Michael and not long thereafter his wife encouraged him to make a documentary about the evidence he had uncovered for Christianity. Here on part two of our conversation with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, we'll hear the story of how the idea of the film, Universe Designed, became a reality.For more information about the film Universe Designed, visit the official website at https://www.UniverseDesigned.comResources from Watchman Fellowship: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Scientism by Dr. Luke Barnes and Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Scientism  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Carl Sagan's Cosmos by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/CosmosTV  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Naturalism by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Naturalism  Book: The Story of the Cosmos by Daniel Ray:www.watchman.org/CosmosBook FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

God's creation shows us His invisible attributes. He uses His creation to lead us to Christ, through whom and for whom the entirety of the heavens and earth were made (Colossians 1). Daniel Ray recently met a former atheist who became a Christian and who has recently completed the final edits on a remarkable docudrama film about the cosmos and how it all points us to Jesus. The film is called Universe Designed and it is the passion project of our guest on Apologetics for the next two weeks, filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis. Universe Designed rivals anything produced by National Geographic or the Discovery Channel, without the naturalism of course, and is entirely Christ-centered. It is due to be released sometime toward the end of this year. Here on part one, Michael shares with us his story about how God began a good work in his life.For more information about the film Universe Designed, visit the official website at https://www.UniverseDesigned.comResources from Watchman Fellowship: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Scientism by Dr. Luke Barnes and Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Scientism  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Carl Sagan's Cosmos by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/CosmosTV  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Naturalism by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Naturalism  Book: The Story of the Cosmos by Daniel Ray:www.watchman.org/CosmosBook FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

The Scopes "Monkey" trial of 1925 has cast a long shadow over the evolution debate in the last century, thanks in large part to the Hollywood film Inherit the Wind, which caricatured the trial and promoted stereotypes that still persist today. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues a conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin about the long history of the Scopes effect in science and how intelligent design has managed to flourish in spite of it. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

In our opening episode of Season 4, we explore how the theory of evolution sparked the modern schism between science and Christianity. We speak with Hannah Pynn and Leah Davis, sisters who grew up in the anti-science fundamentalist movement, People of Praise. We also talk with Pulitzer Prize winning author Dr. Edward Larson about the history of Darwin's journey to the Galapagos Islands, his development of the theory of evolution and its impact on the church. Finally, we interview Dr. Anne Stone, Regents professor at Arizona State University in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change about the modern science surrounding evolution and what it has to teach us about the propagation of life on our planet.

Hatred for the Jews is at an all-time high around the world including here in the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a highly respected Jewish follower of the Messiah who shared his story of coming to Christ, the importance of the 1948 establishment of the nation of Israel and why the antisemitism we are seeing today is not just a political matter, but it is both irrational and demonic at its core. We took you on another radio flight to Australia as we spent some quality time with our favorite Scottish apologist who shared the sobering news out of the United Kingdom where the Parliament has passed an assisted suicide law and legislation allowing abortion through birth. One of the most acclaimed proponents of Darwinism challenged the claims of Intelligent Design. Our guest, a respected geologist shared his own unique journey to saving faith, explained this important debate and told us which view the scientific facts actually support. We shared the insights of a highly respected bible theologian and teacher on how we got the cannon of scripture, why despite its long creation history and many authors, it maintains a unified message because of its inspiration through the Holy Spirit. He also explained how God continues to use key theological themes to draw, transform and bring lives to Himself. Truth is not relative! Our husband and wife lay the straight stick of God’s word up against the news headlines of the week to demonstrate how the rhetoric in the media and the malleable way truth is handled today continually fall short of the unvarnished truth of God’s unchanging word.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show NotesIn recent episodes we have discussed Design Arguments and Intelligent Design. Here we cover another chapter from the 50 Arguments for Faith book which explains the apparent suboptimal Design. It is interesting to see what reasons Intelligent Design proponents give.   One suggestion is: "We must also remember that the world we are observing is not the original creation. It is a corrupted version of The Creation." This leads us into discussing the Fall as an explanation for Natural Suffering, a widely held view in Christianity. The journey of discussion will be continued next episode. Links:The 50 Arguments for Faith book: “Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy and Science” by Mike Licona and William Dembski.  (It can be found on Amazon.) The famous video clip with Stephen Fry talking about worms burrowing out of children's eyes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwNYSQo Justin Brierley's response video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klPr708VWDk Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback, meet Ed's challenge on suffering in the Old Testament and ask questions using:  doubtsaloud@gmail.com

In 2009, famed atheist Richard Dawkins proposed a test for evolution. If Darwinism is correct, he claimed, every gene in a group of organisms will give “approximately the same tree of life.” On the other hand, if intelligent design is an accurate depiction of the origin of life, a designer would pick and choose the best proteins for the job, and genes would NOT all give the same tree of genetic resemblances. Join us as we ask Dr. Casey Luskin, a geologist, to tell us who won that challenge: Richard Dawkins or Intelligent Design?Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Project Synapse, Jim and Marcel navigate a rapidly evolving AI landscape while John appears intermittently through AI-generated clips, with his permission. They delve into intriguing developments at Google Labs, including a mysterious AI model that briefly appeared and vanished. The discussion highlights the differing ambitions of Google and OpenAI, examining Google's focus on creating a comprehensive information hub versus OpenAI's broad-reaching aspirations, like the recent OpenAI for Business initiative. A central theme is the persistent rivalry in AI, specifically between Gemini and ChatGPT, while also touching on niche players like Anthropic's Claude and Perplexity. The conversation takes a deep dive into the complexities of integrating AI into daily life, the potential benefits, and the significant risks, including issues surrounding privacy and identity. Counterpoint to their technical musings is a look at the societal impacts of AI, including job displacement and the need for universal basic income. Finally, the hosts ponder the unsettling yet fascinating future where personal identity might be verified through biometric scanning, as proposed by World ID. 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 00:40 Unexpected Developments in AI 01:53 Google vs. OpenAI: The Rivalry 03:55 AI Integration in Everyday Life 04:36 The Rise of Niche AI Players 05:42 Personal Experiences with AI Tools 12:10 The Future of AI and Privacy Concerns 17:20 The Evolution of AI and Robotics 26:53 Smart Home Integration and Standards 34:21 The Illusion of Choice in Technology 36:13 The Privacy Paradox 36:31 The Integration of AI in Daily Life 38:52 The Rise of Deep Fakes and Identity Theft 41:35 The Future of Personal Data and Security 44:51 The Debate on Universal Identification 46:52 The Acceleration of Technological Change 52:19 The Need for Intelligent Design in AI 53:34 The Role of Governments and Corporations 01:04:11 Concluding Thoughts and Future Discussions

This is the second part of an episode with Pastor Scott Wade and returning guest, Dr. Bruce Evans, Emeritus Professor of Biology at Huntington University.  Today they are discussing Darwin, Intelligent Design and the “just right” conditions of the earth for life.

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? We continue our conversation from last week on the topic of Intelligent Design with Discovery Institute associates Dr. Casey Luskin and his wife Kristin Marais. Casey Luskin is a scientist and an attorney with graduate degrees in science and law, giving him expertise in both the scientific and legal dimensions of the debate over evolution. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Johannesburg He earned a law degree from the University of San Diego. His B.S. and M.S. degrees in Earth Sciences are from the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Luskin has been a California-licensed attorney since 2005, practicing primarily in the area of evolution-education in public schools and defending academic freedom for scientists who face discrimination because of their support for intelligent design (ID). https://www.discovery.org/p/luskin/Kristin Marais has roughly 15 years of educational experience spanning the traditional building classroom, online classroom, curriculum development, and tutoring. She graduated from the University of California Riverside with a BS in biochemistry and then completed a MS in Teaching through Western Washington University.

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. Casey Luskin is a scientist and an attorney with graduate degrees in science and law, giving him expertise in both the scientific and legal dimensions of the debate over evolution. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Johannesburg He earned a law degree from the University of San Diego.

Did our universe come from nothing, as some physicists have proposed? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid critiques the audacious claim that our universe popped into existence out of nothing. What is nothing? What isn't nothing? And how does the universe from nothing claim actually imply intelligent design? McDiarmid shares audio from the Science Uprising video series, as well a portion of an interview with Dr. Stephen Meyer, to help answer these questions. Source

On this episode, Dr. Casey Luskin concludes his conversation about the basics of intelligent design with Sam Kleckley, host of the Live Life in Motion podcast. You'll find this interview (including Part 1) particularly helpful if you are new to the science of intelligent design yourself, or you have friends or family who are open to learning more. In Part 2, Dr. Luskin begins by discussing the fossil record and the abrupt appearance of new life forms. He also tackles the often-debated question of the intelligent agent behind the design found in nature. Finally, in the realm of education, he addresses the controversy surrounding teaching evolution and intelligent design in schools. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

How would you explain intelligent design to someone who has just recently begun looking into it? Perhaps you are new to it yourself, or you have a friend or family member who is curious. Today, Dr. Casey Luskin begins a two-part discussion of the basics of intelligent design with Sam Kleckley, host of the Live Life in Motion podcast. Part 1 presents a nice overview of where and when intelligent design began, how it developed, and why it is such a compelling idea for so many. Luskin also discusses some key lines of evidence for intelligent design, including the complexity of living things at the cellular level and the evidence for the fine-tuning of the universe. This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion. Source

What is the state of the intelligent design movement today? How is it faring in the scientific realm, the church, and in the public? How has the strategy of the ID movement shifted, and what has it learned over the past 20 years? Our guest today is Biola University Biology professor Doug Axe.Douglas Axe is the Maxwell Professor of Molecular Biology at Biola University, the founding Director of Biologic Institute, the founding Editor of BIO-Complexity, and the author of Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed. After completing his PhD at Caltech, he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre. His research, which examines the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems, has been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, BIO-Complexity, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life's Solution by Simon Conway Morris.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.
