A 2026 paper reports on an AI trained on genomic data, including data from a 2024 paper, enabling it to predict when transcription would be initiated.

People are always welcome to change their views in response to what they feel is convincing new evidence.

The lead author is John Hawks, a professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, who has a popular blog on paleoanthropology.

Professor Kuebler doesn’t acknowledge the pattern of explosions in the fossil record, but he does cite a supposed transitional form.

A new Long Story Short video tries to answer this question: How can a non-expert assess who is right in a complex scientific debate — specifically on the question “How did life begin?”

To skip to the punchline, Kuebler says that “species as distantly related as humans and mice share a huge array of synteny blocks.”

Professor Kuebler uses a classical argument for common descent, citing the universality of the genetic code.

We’ve gone back and forth with Dr. Barr many times in the past. Mainstream paleoanthropologists acknowledge that the origin of humans is sudden and abrupt.

Joseph Botting is actually very skeptical of the paper’s purported example of an Ediacaran ctenophore, and he believes it is in fact a cnidarian.

Consider Stephen Meyer’s recent debate with Phil Halper over whether God is the best explanation for the origin and fine-tuning of the universe.

The practice of re-usage of functional parts in different systems is “ubiquitous” in human-designed technology just as convergence is “ubiquitous” in biology.

Let’s consider the fossils the paper identifies as appearing in the Ediacaran but that belong to phyla previously known to appear first in the Cambrian.

Aliens are trending right now. At least the topic of alien life. It’s in the news, it’s in our movie theaters, and even the U.S. government is getting in on the action as it releases troves of documents related to unexplained phenomena and the search for extraterrestrial life. But here’s a … » Go

How do you separate the facts from the narrative? That can be challenging these days, and the realm of science is no exception.

Any scientific theory for the origin of life and the universe is only as strong as its research program. For intelligent design, this is good news. On today’s ID The Future, Dr. Casey Luskin describes the current growth and scientific maturity of the Intelligent Design (ID) movement. … » Go

Was the modern intelligent design (ID) movement “over after Dover,” as many ID critics hoped it would be? Quite the opposite. In the last two decades ID has flourished as a scientific research program and continues to gain momentum in both academia and the public square. On … » Go

Over After Dover. That was the hopeful mantra of many critics of intelligent design (ID) after the Kitzmiller vs. Dover trial in 2005. They were hoping a federal judge could issue a decree from on high that would stop the ID movement cold in its tracks and neo-Darwinism could go back to being … » Go

It’s easy to be blown away by the examples of engineering prowess in the human body. But it can be challenging to turn that evidence into a robust argument for intelligent design you can share with skeptical friends and colleagues. To help you learn to do that, host Andrew McDiarmid begins … » Go

Did God use evolution to create life? On this ID The Future, we’re sharing the second half of a recent conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin that originally aired on the Truthful Hope podcast. Casey is critiquing theistic evolution, the view that God used evolutionary mechanisms to create life. … » Go

Some people attempt to reconcile belief in God with the standard evolutionary account of life’s origins by combining the two. Theistic evolution is the view that God used evolutionary mechanisms to create life. But does this view stand up to scrutiny? Today, Dr. Casey Luskin critiques this … » Go

If evolutionary psychology explains every complex human behavior as well as its opposite, does it really explain anything? Today, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with geologist and attorney Dr. Casey Luskin about which scientific theory of origins best explains human altruism, … » Go

Do evolutionary models adequately account for the reality of human altruism, moral conviction, and cooperation? Does intelligent design offer a better explanation? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins discussing these questions and more with geologist and attorney Casey Luskin. … » Go
