September 18, 2024}

On this episode of ID The Future, we’re bringing you the concluding half of a 2019 interview between Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro and philosopher of science Dr. Stephen C. Meyer. The conversation is now five years old, so it’s a good time to dust it off and share it with those who may have missed it or forgotten about it. Dr. Meyer considers this one of the best interviews he’s done on the subject of his second solo book Darwin’s Doubt.

Sam Brownback on the Connection Between Religious Freedom and Human Rights

_{Wesley J. Smith
September 16, 2024}

In the modern era, religious freedom — the ability to live and act according to one’s faith — has been seen as a profoundly important human right. To a disturbing degree, that is no longer true. Freedom of religion is often devalued in the public square, if not under direct assault. No one has put more thought into this urgent matter of human freedom than my guest today, Sam Brownback, returning for his fourth interview on Humanize. Brownback served as Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom from February 2018 to January 2021. He served as Governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018. Prior to that he represented his home state in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. While a member of the Senate, he worked actively on the issue of religious freedom …
