Very early Thursday morning, by a vote of 85-63, the Texas House passed Senate Bill 2, bringing universal school choice to the Lone Star State. With Governor Greg Abbott’s signature, Texas will become the 16th state in our nation to enact universal school choice into law — making more than 50% of children in America eligible for school choice! That number was less than 1% just four years ago.

The Unique Properties of the Human Mind

Wesley J. Smith, Brian Krouse and Robert J. Marks II
April 17, 2025
Today’s episode is a special rebroadcast of an episode of Humanize, a Discovery Institute podcast that discusses the issues that impact human personhood and to defend the unique and intrinsic moral worth of human life. Here, Humanize host Wesley J. Smith speaks to three contributors of the recent volume Minding the Brain to explore from both philosophical and scientific viewpoints why the mind and brain are distinct things. You’ll hear from software engineer Brian R. Krouse, philosopher and author Angus J. Menuge, and Mind Matters News host Robert J. Marks. The trio discuss evidence that suggests the mind has properties not reducible to physical brain activity alone, such as intentionality, abstract reasoning, and free will. They discuss different non-materialist models …

Why the “Universe From Nothing” Model Points to Intelligent Design

Andrew McDiarmid
April 16, 2025
Did our universe come from nothing, as some physicists have proposed? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid critiques the audacious claim that our universe popped into existence out of nothing. What is nothing? What isn’t nothing? And how does the universe from nothing claim actually imply the necessity for intelligent design? McDiarmid shares audio from the Science Uprising video series, as well a portion of an interview with Dr. Stephen Meyer, to help answer these questions. This episode is actually built around a suggestion McDiarmid recently received from an ID The Future listener. Timothy in South Australia wants to know where the theory that the universe was created from nothing came from, how old the idea is, and why some would accept the premise over intelligent …
