Expert: Without Intelligence, Organic Chemistry Leads to Degradation, Not Life

Edward Peltzer
January 12, 2026

By now, you may have heard about some of the problems facing the field of origin-of-life research. Maybe you’ve come across Dr. James Tour making the argument that origin-of-life researchers are nowhere near their goal of creating life in a lab or proving a chemical evolutionary scenario for the origin of life. On today’s ID The Future, we hear from another expert in origin-of-life chemistry and prebiotic synthesis: Dr. Edward Peltzer. Host Casey Luskin begins a conversation with Peltzer about the significant chemical hurdles facing origin-of-life research, specifically regarding the synthesis of biological building blocks. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode.

Sex: A Spicy Problem for Evolutionary Theory

Sexual reproduction ought to be a recipe for evolutionary disaster. It’s a waste of resources producing no short-term advantages. It demands an entirely different form of cell division and requires highly designed interconnected components to succeed. And yet, sex reigns supreme in the biological world. On this classic ID The Future episode, Dr. Jonathan McLatchie begins a series on why sex is the queen of problems for evolutionary theory and why instead it bears the hallmarks of a system governed by forethought and engineering. This is Part 1 of 3.

20 Years After Dover: Steve Fuller on Science, Censorship, and the “Church of Darwin”

Steve Fuller

In this ID The Future, host Casey Luskin concludes a two-part conversation with University of Warwick professor and author Steve Fuller reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, a case that examined the constitutionality of teaching intelligent design in public schools. Fuller discusses his experience serving as an expert witness for the defense. He defends his support of a policy that merely informed students of alternative theories to Darwinian evolution. He explains why high school is an ideal time to encourage an open mind toward science. Then he pivots to discuss the deeper issue of institutional censorship in science and how establishment science functions as a religion. He characterizes intelligent design as “anti-establishment” and suggests there’s hope for a more pluralistic approach to science in the near future. This is Part 2 of a two-part interview.

Dr. Michael Egnor, CSC Senior Fellow and Professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at Stony Brook University, will speak at Cornell University on the premise of his new book, The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul. This event is sponsored by the Heterodox Academy Campus Community at Cornell University and Chesterton House and is both free and open to the public. To RSVP or to learn more, visit the Cornell events page. A message from the organizers: Although classical philosophers and theologians affirmed the existence and immortality of the human soul, modern neuroscientists generally deny that the soul exists or that it is a proper object for scientific study. The scientific evidence, however, suggests that the soul does exist and that …

The CSC Seminar on Intelligent Design in the Natural Sciences will prepare participants to make research contributions advancing the growing science of intelligent design (ID). The seminar will explore cutting-edge ID work in fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, developmental biology, paleontology, computational biology, ID-theoretic mathematics, cosmology, physics, and the history and philosophy of science. The seminar will include presentations on the application of intelligent design to laboratory research as well as frank treatment of the academic realities that ID researchers confront in graduate school and beyond, and strategies for dealing with them. Although the primary focus of the seminar is science, there also will be discussion on worldview …
