Whether ecstatic or demoralized about the recent election, Americans should all welcome a fresh review of how the federal government carries out its work. For too long, the massive federal bureaucracy has been allowed to grow while becoming less and less efficient in how it spends tax dollars.

The Universal Optimal Design of Vertebrate Limbs

Stuart Burgess
December 4, 2024
When we look at feats of human engineering, like vehicles, skyscrapers, and computers, we don’t doubt our intuition that they’re intelligently designed. But when it comes to marvels of the natural world, like bird wings, whale flippers, and our own arms and legs, we’re expected to suspend our design intuition and credit a gradual, undirected evolutionary process. Bio-engineer Dr. Stuart Burgess has been studying vertebrate limbs for over thirty years. On this episode of ID The Future, Burgess shares his cutting-edge insights on the universal optimal design of vertebrate limb patterns and the implications for fields like robotics. When he formulated his theory of natural selection in the 19th century, Charles Darwin considered the whale flipper a “stiff …

Casey Luskin
December 2, 2024
Did life on earth spring up early and easily through evolutionary processes? Or does the emergence of life represent another infusion of information into the biosphere that is best explained by intelligent design? On this episode of ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid and Dr. Casey Luskin discuss the implications of a recent study on the last universal common ancestor, also known as LUCA. They explore the nature of LUCA as a hypothetical organism, its complexity, and the challenges it poses to evolutionary theory. The conversation also touches on the media’s portrayal of scientific findings and the problems associated with molecular clock techniques used to date LUCA. Ultimately, they highlight the rapid emergence of complex life on Earth and the implications for origin of life …
