President Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises and delivering results for the American people. When it comes to the U.S. Department of Education, it is no different. Whether dramatically reducing, dismantling, or completely eliminating the department, the president will be good to his word, and work towards that end is already underway.
On this ID The Future, author and professor Dr. Tom Woodward shares more memories of our longtime colleague Dr. Jonathan Wells, who recently passed away at 82 years old. Dr. Wells was one of the first fellows at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and his contributions over the last quarter century to the intelligent design movement have been formidable. In Part 2, Dr. Woodward kicks off by describing Dr. Wells’s skills as a communicator. His writing displayed “crazy levels of excellence,” and his dedication to the facts and gentlemanly manner impressed audiences wherever he spoke. When asked what his favorite Wells book is, Woodward singles out one of Wells’s lesser-known volumes, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent …
On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes Dr. Tom Woodward to the podcast to share some of his memories of our longtime colleague Dr. Jonathan Wells, who recently passed away at 82 years old. Dr. Wells was one of the first fellows at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and his contributions over the last quarter century to the intelligent design movement have been formidable. Tom Woodward has been ubiquitous in the unfolding culture war over intelligent design. With his book Doubts about Darwin, he established himself as the historian of the intelligent design movement. With his follow-up Darwin Strikes Back, he assumed the role of a gifted war correspondent, moving up and down the lines of engagement, tracing streams of intense and often ferocious rhetoric …
On this episode of ID the Future out of our archive, evolutionary biologist Dr. Richard Sternberg, a research fellow at the Biologic Institute and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, speaks about his mathematical and logical work showing the difficulty of identifying genes purely with material phenomena. It turns out DNA doesn’t have all that’s needed to direct the development of organisms. In recent decades, evidence of a vast richness of information beyond DNA has been discovered, revealing new layers of information density and irreducible complexity not known about before. There’s “something phenomenal” going on inside the cell, says Dr. Sternberg. Probing and elucidating this mystery has been the focus of his …

Intelligent Design
Discovery Institute is pleased to announce that our annual Intelligent Design Education Day is returning to Spokane, Washington with thanks to our hosts at Great Northern University. This year’s theme — Creepy Crawly Complexity — will explore the incredible world of “creepy crawlies.”
Join us for a special event commemorating the life and enduring impact of Jonathan Wells, a pioneering scholar in the field of intelligent design. Up until his recent passing in September, Dr. Wells made significant contributions to science and culture through his groundbreaking research, provocative writings, and deep commitment to intellectual inquiry.
