On this episode of ID the Future, Paul Nelson concludes his series on common descent. Nelson and Luskin take a look at a recent paper addressing phylogenies and data which seems to conflict with common descent.

Nelson recommends weighing Darwinism’s claims with significant skepticism and moving from public rhetoric into the actual practice of the science. Dr. Nelson illustrates how evolution’s unequivocal, forceful claims give way to much more interesting science where people are struggling with real data and carefully listening to the evidence.
