Intelligent Design the FutureProfessor Steve Fuller on the Rich Tradition of Intelligent DesignOn this episode of ID the Future, host Casey Luskin begins a two-part conversation with University of Warwick professor Steve Fuller to reflect on the historical and philosophical foundations of intelligent design (ID) and the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial. Fuller, an expert witness in the Dover trial and a scholar in the history and philosophy of science, challenges the popular "conflict thesis" that suggests that science and religion are perpetually at war. Instead, he describes a different historical understanding where modern science originated from a theological foundation, noting pioneers like Newton and Galileo, who viewed the...

Intelligent Design the FutureCasey Luskin on the Rising Tide of Intelligent Design ResearchAny scientific theory for the origin of life and the universe is only as strong as its research program. For intelligent design, this is good news. On today's ID The Future, Dr. Casey Luskin describes the current growth and scientific maturity of the Intelligent Design (ID) movement. Luskin describes the progress of ID across three main areas: successful scientific predictions, the unresolved failures of Neo-Darwinism to account for life, and the growth of the ID community as well as scientists outside ID who are looking for alternatives to modern evolutionary proposals. Dr. Luskin compares the growth of the ID research...

Intelligent Design the FutureCasey Luskin: How the ID Movement Has Flourished Since the Dover TrialWas the modern intelligent design (ID) movement "over after Dover," as many ID critics hoped it would be? Quite the opposite. In the last two decades ID has flourished as a scientific research program and continues to gain momentum in both academia and the public square. On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with geologist, legal scholar, and Dover trial expert Dr. Casey Luskin. In this segment, marking the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller vs. Dover trial of 2005, the pair examine the outcome of the Dover trial, in which a judge ruled that intelligent design was...

Intelligent Design the FutureCasey Luskin: ID Over After Dover? Not Even CloseOver After Dover. That was the hopeful mantra of many critics of intelligent design (ID) after the Kitzmiller vs. Dover trial in 2005. They were hoping a federal judge could issue a decree from on high that would stop the ID movement cold in its tracks and neo-Darwinism could go back to being unquestioned, unchallenged orthodoxy. But was it over after Dover? Not even close. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid marks the 20th anniversary of the Dover trial by beginning a two-part conversation with geologist, legal scholar, and Dover trial expert Dr. Casey Luskin.

Intelligent Design the FutureCasey Luskin: Theistic Evolution and the Limits of Neo-DarwinismDid God use evolution to create life? On this ID The Future, we’re sharing the second half of a recent conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin that originally aired on the Truthful Hope podcast. Casey is critiquing theistic evolution, the view that God used evolutionary mechanisms to create life. In today's episode, he continues by next addressing the inadequacy of natural selection and random mutation to generate biological complexity. Luskin also points out that even non-ID scientists have expressed skepticism about the explanatory power of neo-Darwinism. All this makes it very hard to justify the position of theistic evolutionists, who cl...

Intelligent Design the FutureDid God Use Evolution to Produce Life? Why Theistic Evolution FailsSome people attempt to reconcile belief in God with the standard evolutionary account of life's origins by combining the two. Theistic evolution is the view that God used evolutionary mechanisms to create life. But does this view stand up to scrutiny? Today, Dr. Casey Luskin critiques this perspective in the first half of a conversation that originally aired on the Truthful Hope podcast.
The conversation kicks off with some clarity over terms, including what is meant by “evolution.” The theistic evolution perspective, also sometimes called evolutionary creation, accepts the standard scientific evolutionary account—the same view held by atheists—and simply a...

One of the most exciting areas of science and engineering is biomimetics and bioinspiration. Scientists and engineers working in this field develop new technology and solve engineering problems by studying and copying biological designs. In this episode biochemist Fuz Rana and special guest Casey Luskin, associate director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, discuss recent findings in biomimetics and bioinspiration and explore the implications of this work for the design argument.

Knight & Rose ShowCasey Luskin: Debunking the Myth of Junk DNAWintery Knight and Desert Rose interview Dr. Casey Luskin about junk DNA. Is your DNA assembled by undirected forces, or is it intelligently designed? First, we look at the predictions of evolution and design proponents about junk DNA. Then, we look at the latest scientific discoveries, and see which side is changing their mind to adapt to the evidence. Casey reports about his recent debate on this topic with a biology professor.

Design i naturenDesign i naturen Intervju 20: Dr Casey Luskin om implikasjonene ved at evolusjon gjenstår uten gode svar på menneskets tilblivelseI denne avslutningsvideoen med Casey prøver vi å se litt på det større bildet - hva betyr det vi har funne ut, og hva slags konklusjoner kan man komme frem til?
Fossilene og informasjonsinput som kreves for å komme fra en apeliknende skapning til et mennesket, kan ikke forklares med mutasjoner og naturlig utvalg.
Kan intelligent design ha en forklaring på dette?

En hel etasje skal vise hvordan en bakterie ble til dyr ble til primater ble til mennesker. Det er en fascinerende historie.

Han har noen sterke meninger om innholdet, fordi han selv har forsket på det og har lest omtrent det som er å lese om menneskets utviklikng når det gjelder vitenskapelige artikler. Han er veldig i mot "the united front" som skolebøkene og avisartikler viser, der alt er i skjønneste orden... og han mener det som står i faglitteraturen bør komme frem.

An important lesson is that one should never rush to abandon important biblical doctrines based upon unclear evidence.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Casey Luskin about his article, “Lessons Learned (and Not Learned) from the Evangelical Debate over Adam and Eve” in the 45:1/2 edition https://www.equip.org/christian-research-journal/the-battle-for-the-historical-adam-and-eve-contents-back-issue/To subscribe and make sure you get this...

Heart of the Matter Radio/PodcastNew Evidence the Earth Was DesignedWould you like to believe a lie? I wouldn't. That's why I'm always checking to ensure my I dropped my anchor in the right place, and God is my anchor. When Darwin Publishsed Oriigin of the Species, he proposed life evolved gradually over time, eliminating the need for a Creator. However, today new discoveries show evidence of design. My guest this week was Casey Luskin, who works for Discovery Institute in Seattle. He updated us on the latest research.
