On this episode of ID the Future Casey Luskin takes a critical look at Thinking Evolutionarily, a new book by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences that is geared towards helping teachers teach evolution. This book contains typical exaggerations of the importance of Darwinian evolution for an understanding of science, and at the same time maintains that accepting evolutionary theory means recognizing a “fundamental randomness and unpredictability, a lack of grand design.” Such a statement is revealing of a fundamental conflict between Darwinian evolution and religion.
