By David Berlinski On this episode of ID the Future, philosopher, mathematician, and Discovery Institute Senior Fellow David Berlinski answers questions from Jonathan Witt about Berlinski’s celebrated new book Human Nature. Is evolution carrying us upward to new heights of human goodness, as some have claimed? If not that, then will a computer-connected singularity take us on that upward trajectory, as Yuval Noah Harari argues in Homo Deus? With his famous quick wit, Berlinski says no, and warns of a new “explosion of religion,” but a new religion, one without rational grounding and with a great willingness to punish dissenters.

By Ken Ham How do you start conversations about the gospel and salvation? Sometimes, that can feel challenging. But we have the most important message everyone needs to hear! So how can we go about sharing it? Well, Corey McKenna, a Canadian evangelist with Corey will be joining Dr. Georgia Purdom, Calvin Smith (the director of AiG Canada), and me at this conference. We will be laying the foundation of a biblical worldview, how to share the gospel in an increasingly secular culture, and giving basic apologetics teaching so you can answer the common questions of our day. Corey will

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Jonathan Wells remembers Phillip Johnson, “godfather of the intelligent design movement.” Johnson not only attracted scientists’ and other academics’ attention with his groundbreaking Darwin on Trial, he brought them together as a united movement, pushing for a “big tent” for ID theorists to work together. It reflected his own “big heart,” says Wells. The result, he says, is a movement that today is growing internationally, far faster than even Wells realized until recently.

By Ken Ham Abortion, pornography, and taking drugs—are these things immoral? Well, that depends on your foundation for morality. In much of the West, the foundation for morality is now predominantly subjective human opinion, so, as time passes, attitudes and beliefs on various moral issues change. With no moral absolutes, everyone does what’s right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Ultimately anything goes. And that’s what a new study out of the United Kingdom clearly showed. This study from King’s College London compared figures from 1989 with polls taken this year to see how Britons’ views on various issues have

By Ken Ham Scientists studying fossil deposits in Morocco recently announced a stunning new find—a series of trilobites (sea creatures, also called ancient cockroaches, now believed to be extinct), fossilized in a single-file line. It looks as if the trilobites were playing, “follow the leader.” That’s the observational evidence. But how to understand these fossils is a matter of interpretation. After all, the fossils don’t come with a tag on them telling you what happened and when. And your interpretation depends on your starting point. The scientists studying these fossils approached the evidence from a naturalistic and evolutionary perspective. Since

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID The Future, Stephen Meyer, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, honors Phillip Johnson, the U.C. Berkeley law professor who helped ignite the modern intelligent design movement with the publication of his highly successful book Darwin on Trial. Meyer says Johnson had the courage to speak up when others wouldn’t. “The overweening dynamic of this debate is fear,” Meyer says. “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.” But

How could dinosaur proteins persist over 70 million years inside dinosaur bones? That’s one of the biggest questions that secular paleontologists have faced in the last two decades. Many of them reason that some unique but undiscovered set of conditions grant proteins power to defy all odds and somehow survive unimaginable time scales. They think someone, someday, will discover the protein’s secret to survival. A new model sugge… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Phillip E. Johnson On this episode of ID The Future, we commemorate the passing this weekend of the man called the “godfather of the intelligent design movement,” Berkeley law professor Phillip Johnson. In honor of the man we bring you Dr. Johnson speaking at a 2011 Discovery Institute event commemorating the 20th anniversary of his seminal book Darwin on Trial. The book challenged mainstream beliefs about Darwinian evolution and inspired many scientists and scholars of the modern intelligent design movement. Listen in to learn why, according to the self-effacing law professor, he has always been “puzzled when someone describes
