This episode of ID the Future features remarks by Stephen Meyer at Freedomfest conference in Las Vegas. What do intelligent design, evolution, information and purple people eaters all have in common? Well, they all took front stage at Freedomfest in Las Vegas last week when ID proponents Stephen Meyer and George Gilder squared off against Darwinists Michael Shermer and Ronald Bailey in debating whether there is scientific evidence for intelligent design in nature. Listen in as Stephen Meyer shares his opening remarks for the crowd.

God, Adam and Eve play a round of would you rather .

In Dover, Pennsylvania, teachers and parents took a stand against the school board's push to teach intelligent design in science classes. What resulted was a landmark U.S. court case that reverberated throughout the small community, pitting neighbor against neighbor.

On this episode of ID The Future we're featuring an interview by CSC public policy officer Casey Luskin with Seth Cooper (himself an attorney and former public policy officer with the CSC) about strange sordid tale of the mistreatment of the Foundation for Thought & Ethics throughout the Dover intelligent design trial. Next month PBS will air a NOVA mockumentary that alleges to tell the true story about the Dover trial. Knowing PBS' past record on the issue of evolution and intelligent design it is unlikely that they will tell the whole story. Here then is one important piece to be aware of. Seth Cooper is the co-author of an article entitled, "A Textbook Case of Judicial Activism: How a Pro-ID Publisher Was Denied its Day in Court," which describes how the publisher of the textbook Of Pandas and People, Foundation for Thought and Ethics (FTE), was denied the right to become a party to the Kitzmiller trial despite the fact that its intellectual property rights were implicated in the lawsuit.

On this episode of IDTF, Casey Luskin celebrates Banned Books Week by nominating Dr. Marks's Evolutionary Informatics Lab as the Banned Item of the Year. Banned books week is supposed to be a celebration of tolerance and diversity. In that spirit, Luskin discusses the research papers Marks posted on his site before Baylor University shut it down, explaining just what was so controversial that Baylor had to ban it.

On this special recast episode of ID The Future, CSC senior fellow Dr. John West examines whether or not Darwinian evolution supports a traditional view of morality as is often claimed. In his new book Darwin's Conservatives, Dr. West addresses how Darwin’s theory, contrary to some of its conservative champions, manifestly does not reinforce the teachings of conservatism. According to West, Darwinism promotes moral relativism rather than traditional morality.

On this episode of ID The Future, CSC's Casey Luskin interviews senior fellow David Berlinski aobut the Council of Europes recent resolution conflating intelligent design with creationism and denouncing both. The CoE is a non-governmental body in Europe that aims to protect human rights, but its resolutions carry no force of law. Berlinski, a mathematician who lives and works in Paris and has made many scientific critiques of Darwinian evolution, gives an insightful analysis of the resolution's relevance.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin addresses Richard Dawkins’ Information Challenge. When Dawkins was recently asked to explain the origin of genetic information according to Darwinism, he was embarrassingly silent. He later claimed to rebut this question using Shannon information, but Luskin reveals just how inadequate Dawkins’ explanation is when it comes to explaining the specified complexity of information. Be sure to read Luskin’s response at Evolution News & Views.

On this episode of ID the Future, Anika Smith takes a look at an emerging pattern of academic suppression and viewpoint discrimination at Baylor University. Baylor's recent removal of distinguished professor Robert Marks' website is only the most recent example of this trend, which spans from college campuses to government institutions and beyond. For continuing updates on Professor Robert Marks' situation at Baylor University and other academic freedom issues, check out Evolution News and Views.

On this episode of IDTF CSC's Anika Smith interviews science writer Denyse O'Leary about her new book, The Spiritual Brain. In the book O'Leary and her co-author Mario Beaurogard, neuroscientist and Associate Professor at Université de Montréal, explore the question of whether or not the mind is an illusion as materialists believe, or is it more than that? For instance, The Spiritual Brain looks at whether religious experiences come from God, or are they merely the random firing of neurons in the brain? Drawing on his own research with Carmelite nuns, Beauregard shows that genuine, life-changing spiritual events can be documented. He and O'Leary offer compelling evidence that mind creates matter rather than matter creating mind.

In this installment of ID The Future, CSC’s Robert Crowther takes aim at Darwinist misinformation about the origins of intelligent design. Crowther makes mincemeat of the assertion that the term “intelligent design” was fabricated following the 1987 Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court case, showing instead that the term is over 100 years old. He also targets the Darwinist canard that terms like micro- and macroevolution were made up by Darwin’s critics. For more information on the history of intelligent design, read CSC Senior Fellow Jonathan Witt’s The Origin of Intelligent Design. And don’t miss the intelligent design timeline at ResearchID.org.

Today on ID The Future, Denyse O’Leary draws on her experience with cultural issues to trace differences between Canadian and American attitudes toward evolution, the question of origins, and religion. O’Leary also analyzes the European mentality toward the status quo and, more specifically, Darwinism. About Denyse O’Leary Denyse O’Leary is a Toronto-based journalist who has written on science-related topics for many years. She is an avid blogger who contributes to Access Research Network’s ID Update and William Dembski’s Uncommon Descent. She also publishes two blogs of her own, Mindful Hack and Post-Darwinist. Don’t miss The Spiritual Brain by Mario Beauregard, which O'Leary co-authored.

Today author and journalist Denyse O’Leary talks about the ongoing ID-evolution debate on the internet. O’Leary reveals how she handles so-called “Darwinbots” on her Post-Darwinist blog, relishing the chance to take on her chattering detractors. She also looks at how the debate generates publicity for intelligent design.

Today ID The Future examines Baylor University’s decision to take offline the Evolutionary Informatics Laboratory website that had been administered by Dr. Robert Marks, Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor. The school’s administration claims there were anonymous complaints linking the lab to intelligent design. The site has since been moved to a third party’s server. For additional information on this situation, read Rob Crowther’s blog post on Evolution News & Views, and don’t miss this earlier IDTF podcast about Dr. Marks and the Evolutionary Informatics Lab.

On this episode of IDTF, Dr. John West reads from the preface and introduction to his forthcoming book, Darwin Day in America: How Our Politics and Culture Have Been Dehumanized in the Name of Science. Darwin Day in America tells the disturbing story of scientific expertise run amuck, exposing how an ideological interpretation of Darwinian biology and reductionist science have been used to degrade American culture over the past century through their impact on criminal justice, welfare, business, education, and bioethics. The book will be released by ISI Books in October.

Today on ID The Future, CSC’s Anika Smith sits down with journalist and blogger Denyse O’Leary to discuss the focus of her new book The Spiritual Brain. In this interview, O’Leary grapples with materialist arguments concerning the mind and spirituality. She also explains why materialism is a monistic philosophy and explores the effect this has on its line of reasoning. About Denyse O’Leary Denyse O’Leary is a Toronto-based journalist who has written on science-related topics for many years. She has authored several books including By Design or By Chance? and her latest, The Spiritual Brain, with Mario Beauregard.

ID The Future presents the second installment of a two-part interview with Walt Ruloff, executive producer of the upcoming docudrama Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Today Ruloff explains how interviews were obtained with top Darwinists including Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers, and dispels claims that trickery and deception were used. He also provides an overview of the movie’s website, staff, and future projects. Be sure to visit the Expelled homepage, and stay tuned to IDTF for movie updates and future interviews with Walt Ruloff.

Today on ID The Future we catch up with Walt Ruloff, executive producer of the new Hollywood docudrama starring Ben Stein, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Today’s interview is the first of a two-part series about the making of the film. In this installment, Ruloff gives a brief overview of Expelled, explains how he came to spend over two years making the film, talks about intelligent design as a disruptive technology compared to dogmatic Darwinian evolution, and tells how the film will show that Darwinian evolution is a science stopper. Rather than get mired in the politics of the debate, Ruloff explains that Expelled gets to “where the rubber meets the road, where the science is being done.” To watch the Expelled movie trailer, click here.
