Critical thinking and Critical Theory are very different.

Why Information in DNA Demands More Than Chemistry
In this excerpt from Stephen Meyer Faces His Critics, Dr. Meyer argues that law-like forces of physics and chemistry alone are not enough to explain the origin and arrangement of information in the DNA molecule.

The Debate Happening Within Evolutionary Science
Darwin's Theory explains minor changes (finch beak variations, changes of pigmentation in moths, etc.) pretty well. But to say that all life descended from a single remote common ancestor is a stretch.

Lee Spetner Critiques Convergent Evolution
On this episode of ID the Future out of the vault, we bring you the last of three short interviews with MIT-trained physicist Dr. Lee Spetner. We were saddened to learn of the recent passing of Dr. Spetner at 91 years old, and we’re sharing these conversations in tribute to his significant contributions to the evolution debate. Host Ira Berkowitz interviews Dr. Spetner in Jerusalem. Together they explore key arguments from Spetner’s books Not by Chance and The Evolution Revolution. Here, Spetner challenges the idea of convergent evolution and explains his non-random evolutionary hypothesis.

The 4 Building Blocks for Life Can't be Made w/o God!
Have scientists created life from non-life? Here's a clip with Dr. Stephen Meyer and chemist @DrJamesTour on if we can make the 4 building blocks for life without God!
Dr. Tour, a world-leading synthetic organic chemist at Rice University, has recently been engaged in a series of back-and-forth responses to attacks on his work from YouTube science communicator Dave Farina. This has given Tour a new opportunity to critique experts in the field of abiogenesis and allows an interested public to better evaluate both sides of the argument.

Interview with Dr. Michael Behe | Think Theism Podcast
Zach and Andrew interview Dr. Michael J. Behe, professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University and Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. We discuss Dr. Behe's work in the intelligent design movement with his book trilogy Darwin's Black Box, Edge of Evolution, and Darwin Devolves. Next, we revisit the past with Dr. Behe's contribution in the 2004 federal court case Kitzmiller v. Dover. We spend some time on Dr. Behe's unique contributions and dissent from other I.D. theorists. Finally, we wrap up with a few theological questions integrating intelligent design with Christianity.

Stephen Meyer & Ben Shapiro Discuss the Origin of Information
On this episode of ID The Future, we’re bringing you the concluding half of a 2019 interview between Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro and philosopher of science Dr. Stephen C. Meyer. The conversation is now five years old, so it's a good time to dust it off and share it with those who may have missed it or forgotten about it. In Part 2, Shapiro and Meyer discuss the origin of life and the origin of information. They also touch on the evidence for fine-tuning in the universe and the problems with the multiverse. This is Part 2 of a two-part interview.

Biblical archaeologist Titus Kennedy explores the evidence for the trial of Jesus in the New Testament in this talk from the 2024 Dallas Conference on Science & Faith sponsored by Discovery Institute. Dr. Kennedy is author of books such as Excavating the Evidence for Jesus: The Archaeology and History of Christ and the Gospels, Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries that Bring the Bible to Life, and The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Mediterranean World.

Stephen Meyer and Ben Shapiro Talk Intelligent Design
On this ID The Future, we bring you the first half of Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro’s 2019 interview with philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer on The Ben Shapiro Sunday Special. This exchange happened five years ago now, and we thought it was a good time to put it out there again for those who may not have heard it yet or don’t remember it. Dr. Meyer considers this one of the best interviews he’s done on the subject of his second solo book Darwin’s Doubt.

No Place Like Home: A Reading From The Privileged Planet
On this episode of ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid reads an exclusive excerpt from the newly revised, rewritten, and updated twentieth anniversary edition of The Privileged Planet. In 2004, astronomer Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez and author Dr. Jay Richards issued a daring hypothesis: that a pattern exists between the requirements for advanced life in the universe and the requirements for fruitful scientific discovery. They argued that this pattern was more conspiracy than coincidence. Now, twenty years later, a new edition of The Privileged Planet brings fresh analysis, new supporting evidence, and a completely revised text. In this episode, McDiarmid reads the Foreword to the 2024 Edition and the Introduction to the book.

In 2004, Dr. Jay Richards and Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez published a bold hypothesis: not only is Planet Earth well-suited for advanced life like ourselves, it’s also finely tuned for scientific discovery. Materialists call it a cosmic coincidence, but the array of evidence Richards and Gonzalez marshal in support of their argument suggests otherwise. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid sits down with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez to discuss his newly revised, rewritten, and updated twentieth anniversary edition of The Privileged Planet.

Alfred Russel Wallace and His Friendly Battle with Darwin
On this ID the Future episode out of the vault, science historian Michael Flannery concludes his conversation with host Michael Keas about his book Intelligent Evolution: How Alfred Russel Wallace’s World of Life Challenged Darwin. Wallace was co-founder with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution by random variation and natural selection. Unlike Darwin, however, he saw teleology or purpose as essential to life’s history, and a teleological view as essential to the life sciences.
