On this episode of ID The Future, Dr. John West, Associate Director for Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture, discusses the attempts by many Darwinists to relegate intelligent design to the humanities, equating it with creationism so as to avoid discussion of its scientific merits. West also talks about the mistaken notion that science and faith are incompatible: “Regardless of whether someone happens to be religious or not, they have the right to participate in the public life, and that includes in science and the arts.”

On this episode of ID The Future, we return to the topic of the anti-science label and how opponents of intelligent design try to stifle the debate by using this unscientific term. Tune in to hear host David Boze review some of the latest examples of this tactic, including a recent article in New Scientist Magazine warning of unscientific America and its “dangerous retreat from reason.” Boze also reviews definitions of science, just to be clear on what science is and what it isn’t.
On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin discusses a paper by Northern Arizona University philosopher Peter Kosso that challenges the typical definition of theory used by the Darwin lobby. When attacking opponents, Darwin lobbyists, such as those in the National Academy of Sciences, have defined “theory” as necessarily requiring a vast body of evidence. But is that what “theory” really means? Read More ›

On this episode of ID The Future, Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture and author of Signature in the Cell: DNA & the Evidence for Intelligent Design, honors Phillip Johnson, the U.C. Berkeley law professor that helped launch the modern intelligent design movement with the 1991 publication of his book Darwin on Trial. Meyer says Johnson had the courage to speak up when others don’t: “The over-weening dynamic of this debate is fear. There are many many many people who have come up to the water’s edge, who have seen the problems with Darwinian evolution, have counted the cost, and recoiled…Johnson had the guts…” For more on Phillip Johnson’s work, including biography, Read More ›
On this episode of ID The Future, James Kushiner, author, journalist, and editor of Touchstone Magazine, pays tribute to the mettle of Phillip Johnson in writing his 1991 book Darwin on Trial. The book inspired skeptics of Darwinian evolution across the disciplines and helped establish the modern intelligent design movement. Kushiner says Johnson “helped neutralize the acid of Darwinism that has devoured the sight of so many who have lost the ability to see the beauty in creation.” For more on Phillip Johnson’s work, including biography, videos, and articles, visit the new website darwinontrial.com.
