By Sarah Chaffee Today’s episode of ID the Future features the third and final part of a conversation between Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson and Darwin skeptic David Berlinski, author of the newly released book Human Nature. Here the pair discuss the fate of Europe. Then they turn again to science, and the challenge the second law of thermodynamics poses for Darwinism and, by implication, to any theory of biological origins restricted to purely mindless processes. Berlinski suggests that this poses a considerable challenge, tempting Robinson to ask Berlinski whether he still consider himself an agnostic. Your browser does not

By Sarah Chaffee This episode of ID the Future features the second part of a conversation between Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson and polymath David Berlinski, author of the newly released book Human Nature. In this segment of the interview, Robinson asks Berlinski about a book by Nicholas Christakis, Blueprint, which argues that evolution has endowed us with a genetic makeup that drives human culture toward virtue and progress. Berlinski demurs, pointing to the horrors of the twentieth century and by noting that the virtues Christakis underscores, such as cooperativeness, can also be put to nefarious purposes. The Nazi Party,

By David Berlinski This episode of ID the Future features Part 1 of an interview between Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson and Discovery Institute senior fellow David Berlinski, author of The Deniable Darwin and the newly released Human Nature. Berlinski begins by noting that living systems possess “a degree of complexity that is almost unfathomable” and explains how this poses an acute problem for Darwinism. The two also discuss discontinuities in the fossil record as well as Berlinski’s insistence that “any theory of natural selection must plainly meet what I have called a rule against deferred success.” Berlinski also rebuts

The latest fossil biochemistry paper, published in Scientific Reports, describes “blood vessel structures” recovered from inside a T. rex femur.1 This is the same femur in which the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology featured collagen fibers, protein remnants, and possible DNA signatures back in 1997.2 Since then, debate has raged among experts. On one hand, fossil experts keep re… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Some people don’t believe in a global flood. Since the geological revolution in the 1800s—driven by naturalistic, deistic, agnostic, and atheistic assumptions—some Christians have been attempting to fit the long ages into Scripture. Since the geological revolution of the 1800s—when deistic, agnostic, and atheistic scientists working from the assumptions of naturalism began to suggest long ages for the earth and its fossil record—some Christians have been attempting to fit the long ages into Scripture. That idea has many of its own problems (such as putting death before sin), but it necessarily entails another belief: Noah’s flood was

By Ken Ham Panicking about the climate is nothing new—it’s been going on for decades (with few, if any, of the gloomy predictions coming true1). But it’s recently been hyped to new levels. Younger people are promising not to have children. Scientists are again suggesting population control measures (we know that means the expansion of abortion, likely even forced abortions and sterilizations). Politicians are suggesting radical, extremely costly environmental and economic policies. How should Christians think and respond to the perceived crisis?

By Ken Ham Evolutionists are desperate to find extraterrestrial life. Why? Because their worldview demands it. If life evolved here on earth, it must exist elsewhere—after all, in their view, the earth is only 4.5-billion-years-old, but the universe is 13.5-billion-years-old. So, if life evolved here, it must have evolved elsewhere, given how much older the universe is than earth with all its diversity of life. But the search hasn’t been successful. It’s interesting that the desperate hunt continues, with studies often giving differing results. For example, a recent article proclaimed, “Extraterrestrial life could be more common than previously thought, new

By Ken Ham We’ve all seen it coming—once you open the door to “self-identification” based solely on feelings, anything goes. If a man can identify as a woman and legally be considered a female (and vice versa), despite his male biology and chromosomes, then anyone should be able to self-identify simply based personal feelings, regardless of biology or fact. That’s exactly what the world’s largest higher education union is arguing. This United Kingdom-based union, the UCU, announced that “anyone should be able to identify as black ‘regardless of the colour of their skin or background.’” The announcement went on to
