Intelligent Design – The Future
Authors: CSC Fellows

The ID The Future (IDTF) podcast carries on Discovery Institute’s mission of exploring the issues central to evolution and intelligent design (ID).

Evolution News and Views
Authors: CSC Fellows and Staff

The misreporting of the evolution issue is one key reason for this new blog. The news media in the U.S. seem to have rediscovered the evolution controversy recently. Unfortunately, much of the news coverage has been sloppy, inaccurate, and in several cases, overtly biased. Contributors include Rob Crowther and John West, among others.
