Economics
What underpins this understanding of economics is what George Gilder calls the "materialist superstition." From the capitalism of Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the socialism of Karl Marx, classical economics to socialist economics rest on the assumed pillar of Newtonian determinism and static materialism. There is also only so much matter to go around, the materialist superstition has us believe, therefore, no amount of incentives and technological innovation can avoid the fact that we will run out of material goods.

The Immortal Mind: How Neuroscience Points Beyond Materialism

Michael Egnor
May 19, 2025
Is your mind more than just your brain? Does the soul actually exist? These questions have been pondered for millennia. What does the latest scientific research suggest? On this ID The Future, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor begins a conversation with host Andrew McDiarmid about his new book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul. Egnor makes a powerful case that our capacity for thought, reason, and free will points to something beyond mere brain function. Dr. Egnor begins by clearly defining key terms like brain, mind, and soul, distinguishing the brain as an organ from the soul, which he defines as the principle of life encompassing everything characterizing a living person, including reason and free will. The mind, he explains, …

Johannes Kepler, the Book of Nature, and the Language of Mathematics

Michael Newton Keas
May 16, 2025
On this episode of ID the Future from the archive, host Andrew McDiarmid talks with science historian Michael Keas about pioneering mathematical astronomer Johannes Kepler, based on Keas’s book Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion. Kepler studied theology before turning to math and science, and it was his belief in God that guided his extraordinary discoveries. “Without an architect who created the world,” said Kepler, “there is no … power in mathematics to make anything material.” Kepler considered it a great privilege to share in God’s thoughts as he studied natural phenomena and the laws that described them. He is one of several scientists in early modern science, including Galileo, who saw a “book” of God’s revelation …

Why Our Minds Are More Than “Meat Computers”

Pat Flynn, Robert J. Marks II and Eric Holloway
May 15, 2025
Some scientists and philosophers hold the view that our brains are basically brains made of meat. Today, Dr. Eric Holloway and Dr. Robert J. Marks explain what’s wrong with this idea in the concluding segment of their conversation with guest host Patrick Flynn. For starters, the computational theory of mind may be incompatible with materialism or physicalism, as formal, abstract thought appears to transcend the physical realm. Then there’s the argument that the human mind cannot be reduced to a computational system as suggested by mathematical ideas such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. Computationalism also fails to adequately account for human creativity and the generation of genuinely novel ideas, which appear to be beyond the capabilities of any computer …
