Of particular interest this time is Dr. Barbara Forrest, a professor of philosophy with an undeniable distaste for anything critical of Darwinism, who, in her testimony, demonstrated a deep disdain for the Discovery Institute and its insidious conspiracy to undermine American science education. Too bad, as Luskin puts it, her claims are “exceedingly and demonstrably wrong.” And so, pointing out her flaws one-by-one, Luskin sets the record straight on the so-called conspiracy.
On this episode of ID the Future Casey Luskin gives his account of the hearings in Louisiana last week, where a bill supporting the rights of teachers to teach the controversy passed unanimously out of the House Committee on Education.

Shermer, founder of The Skeptic Society and editor of Skeptic magazine, denies the film’s claims that scientists Richard Sternberg and Guillermo Gonzalez were unfairly persecuted for their support of intelligent design.

Taken from a recently finished appendix to Intelligent Design 101: Leading Experts Explain the Key Issues, Luskin responds to the notion that similar chromosomal structure between the two species is proof of a common lineage by saying plainly that the discovery is equally compatible with a theory of common design.

As Casey Luskin reveals in this episode of ID the Future, eminent biologists have said that they must continually remind themselves that what they see in biology evolved, and was not designed. But now engineers are turning to biology to replace human technology because biological pathways provide superior solutions to biomedical-technological needs. Is this trend more consistent with an evolved biosphere, or an intelligent designed one? Listen to this podcast and decide for yourself.
