Do biologists give too much credit to natural selection and self-organization? What are the limits of a materialist approach to science? On this ID The Future, we bring you the second half of a panel discussion reviewing the recent debate between Rice University chemistry professor Dr. James Tour and University of Glasgow professor of chemistry Dr. Lee Cronin. In November 2023, Dr. Tour and Dr. Cronin participated in a roundtable debate on origin-of-life studies at Harvard University with a live audience of Harvard faculty and guests. Even if you haven't seen the debate yet, you’ll get valuable insight into the state of origin-of-life research from this panel discussion, featuring three of our own: scientist and attorney Casey Luskin, physicist Brian Miller, and Center for Science and Culture Senior Fellow Dr. Stephen Dilley. It also featured Arizona State University Professor of Philosophy Owen Anderson. The second half of the conversation begins where Part 1 left off: with a critique of the seemingly limitless power attributed to natural selection. In the debate, Dr. Cronin called natural selection “the force that produces our stars.” Dr. Miller explains why natural selection wields so much power for scientists like Cronin: “What a lot of origin-of-life people do is they talk about natural selection as a demigod with creative agency. That’s how they rationalize away the evidence for design.” The panel also discusses how intelligent design is a legitimate threat to materialist science, and how Dr. Tour’s challenge is impacting the origin-of-life research community. They conclude with the reminder that a mind-first view of the natural world can not only help us personally, it can help society create better solutions for living. This discussion was recorded by the Kirkwood Center and hosted by Kirkwood president Anthony Costello and vice-president Lenny Esposito. We thank the Kirkwood Center for permission to share it. This is Part 2 of a two-part discussion. Listen to Part 1 if you missed it. Dig Deeper Listen to Dr. Stephen Meyer interview Dr. James Tour about the origin-of-life debate: Source

On this episode of the Apologetics.com, Dr. Harry Edwards, Dr. Jacob Daniel, and Lenny Esposito discuss the primary role imagination plays in the art and science of defending the truth claims of Christianity to a culture that lacks the plausibility structure that allows for God's existence. Dr. Paul Gould in his book “Cultural Apologetics” encourages the believer to “…demonstrate that the best explanation for why we make architecture and jokes, sculptures and gardens, stories and mythical creatures is because we bear the image of a God who is the master creator, comedian, and storyteller.” Imagination is a pointer to God.

On this episode, Dr. Harry Edwards leads a discussion on a growing trend among believers in the West called Christian nationalism and its rival, globalism.

In this episode of the Apologetics.com Radio Show, Lenny Esposito, Jacob Daniel, and Harry Edwards discuss in general disturbing aspects, factors and solutions of what is quickly becoming commonplace in the public square: Cancel Culture.

Lenny Esposito of Come Let Us Reason Together debunks the various claims made by the "Bible Secrets" Television Shows.

These are uncertain times. We are in a world war. The enemy is invisible and much of society is in crisis mode. In this episode of the Apologetics.com Radio show, Harry Edwards talks to Lenny Esposito and Dr. Jacob Daniel to discuss how Christians ought to behave during a pandemic. We take our cues from history to consider how our forebears dealt with similar circumstances. We also consider how this crisis has potential for greater things to come while being cognizant of the dangers if we lose hope in Christ and in each other.

There’s a lot of concern over the growing trend of young people leaving the church. The exodus has included high profile Christian leaders like Josh Harris and Marty Sampson. Now, the two hugely popular YouTube stars who host “Good Mythical Morning” have publicly announced how they also lost their faith.

Here we specifically expound on Dr. John Marriott's book "A Recipe for Disaster" in which he explains four factors churches and parents contribute to the process of weakening believer's doubts that ultimately lead to renouncing the Christian faith: over-prepared, ill-prepared, ill-prepared and painfully prepared. This show was hosted by Harry Edwards with panelist Chris Sandoval, Lenny Esposito and Dr. Jacob Daniel.

Dr. Jacob Daniel interviews Dr. Paul Gould about his new book Cultural Apologetics. On the show are Lenny Esposito and Harry Edwards. They discuss how contemporary culture presents us with a disenchanted view of reality, and how as believers we can provide a robust response to the various challenges facing the church today.

In this episode we will explore the cultural artifact of movies and story-telling to see if there is anything in Hollywood that can teach Christians to discern between legitimate worldviews (apologetics) and bankrupt ones. This show will also help you consider the inherent goodness and significance of beauty and art in Christian living. Our special guests are Brian Godawa, Lenny Esposito, Jacob Daniel and your host Harry Edwards.

In this podcast, founder and president of Come Reason Ministries, Lenny Esposito, gives a talk about the resurrection of Christ answering the often asked question: is Christ's claim of coming back to life a fraud, a fable, or is it fact?

The transcendent value of beauty is hardly mentioned in academic conversations in our modern world, much less in everyday culture in which superficial preferences are the norm. That wasn't the case before the Enlightenment. What happened? In this show we take a survey approach to the nature of beauty, some of its properties, and the important role it plays in the art and science of apologetics. On the show are Lenny Esposito, Daniel Jacob, Harry Edwards and special guest Brian Godawa.

If you're a believer in Christ, you can't miss the command to be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks for the hope you have in Him, yet with gentleness and respect (1 Pet. 3:15). It's not an option to engage in the defense of the faith. In fact, it's a joy and honor to represent our Lord and Savior since we're all called to be ambassadors for the Kingdom. Here we discuss what we think are three of the most important methods to help our listeners engage our current culture for Christ. I'm joined in the studio with Lenny Esposito, Jacob Daniel and first time guest Artur Asaduriyan.
