Casey Luskin

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin comments on some recent tips from an evolutionary anthropologist on “How to read and understand a scientific paper: a guide for non-scientists” — which include the close-minded recommendation to ignore any scientific research that is affiliated with Discovery Institute. Listen in as Casey gives his own advice on how to approach controversial issues such as the Darwinian evolution vs. intelligent design debate.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin explains that most of the objections to intelligent design rest on false caricatures and misunderstandings of the theory. Is ID just a negative argument against evolution? Does ID necessarily appeal to a God-of-the-Gaps? Is ID an attempt to disguise theology as science? Listen as Casey addresses these questions and shows how ID is a positive and scientific argument that infers the best explanation: intelligent design.

On this episode of ID the Future, listen in as Casey Luskin talks with Dr. Neil Steiner, an engineer who works on computer and engineering research with the Information Sciences Institute at University of Southern California. Dr. Steiner offers his expertise to give unique insight into the debate over intelligent design and evolution, comparing natural biological systems to human designed technology.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin continues his talk with Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig, a retired biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Germany. Tune in as Dr. Lönnig discusses the origin and biology of carnivorous plants, and how evolutionary theory offers no clear explanation for the unique features of these plants.

On this episode of ID The Future CSC Research Director Casey Luskin examines a recent paper in Genome Biology and Evolution which argues that the famous beta-globin pseudogene is functional. Why is this pseudogene famous? Well, it’s been Exhibit A — literally, offered as evidence in a court case — for critics of intelligent design who argue that our genome is full of useless, functionless junk, and therefore can’t be a product of design. In light of this new evidence for the functionality of the beta-globin pseudogene, it seems that this so-called Exhibit A, collapses.

On this episode of ID the Future, the Medved Show hosts the CSC’s Casey Luskin and student Zack Kopplin, a leading activist in the effort to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act. Luskin and Kopplin debate the implications of the Louisiana law for science education standards and whether or not the law promotes the teaching of creationism.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin continues his interview with Hallie and Gary Kemper. Join the authors of Discovering Intelligent Design as they recall how they all came together to develop this new intelligent design curriculum.

On this episode of ID the Future, hear from the co-authors of the new intelligent design curriculum Discovering Intelligent Design. Listen in as Gary Kemper, Hallie Kemper, and Casey Luskin come together to talk about their experience developing the curriculum.

On this episode of ID the Future, the CSC’s Casey Luskin and atheist Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation debate academic freedom and free speech on the Medved Show. This debate was inspired by the ongoing case of Professor Eric Hedin, a physicist at Ball State University who is being threatened by the Freedom From Religion Foundation for favorably portraying intelligent design in the classroom.

On this episode of ID the Future, Educational Outreach Coordinator Janine Dixon talks with Casey Luskin about the new intelligent design curriculum, Discovering Intelligent Design. Developed by Luskin and home school educators Gary and Hallie Kemper, Discovering Intelligent Design presents the scientific evidence for intelligent design in both cosmology and biology.
