Casey Luskin

On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin takes a look at so-called ‘junk DNA.’ Over the years, many (though not all) Darwinists have stated that non-coding DNA is not worth exploring because it is thought to be mere evolutionary junk. In 2003, Scientific American explained that “the introns within genes and the long stretches of intergenic DNA between genes, Mattick says, ‘were immediately assumed to be evolutionary junk.’” But, as Luskin reports that fact that ‘junk DNA’ is not junk has emerged not because of evolutionary theory but in spite of it. Perhaps it’s time for a new approach to “junk” DNA.

On this episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Casey Luskin reviews the new book by Dr. Thomas Woodward, Darwin Strikes Back. As Luskin notes, Woodward takes on the response to ID from critics. His book will shake whatever confidence readers may have had left in the overall objectivity of the Darwinian establishment.

On this episode of ID The Future we have the third and final installment of Casey Luskin’s examination of National Geographic’s pro-evolution article “From Fins to Wings,” by Carl Zimmer.

On this episode of ID The Future we have part two of Casey Luskin’s examination of National Geographic’s pro-evolution article “From Fins to Wings,” by Carl Zimmer.

On this episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Casey Luskin examines National Geographic’s pro-evolution article “From Fins to Wings,” by Carl Zimmer which quotes Harvard microbiologist Howard Berg saying “The basic idea of evolution is so elegant, so beautiful, so simple.” As Luskin shows, the article misses the target in a number of ways. Luskin asks In our experience, does a “simple” process generate the type of vast complexity found throughout biology? Then he shows that Zimmer’s answer is a just-so story.

On this episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Casey Luskin examines the recent crusade against religion by the world’s foremost Darwinist, Richard Dawkins. In a recent BBC news article Dawkins claimed that America is ready for an attack on religion. What is Dawkins’ attack? He aims to convince people that the religions of their upbringing are nonsense and that life comes about through purely natural, Darwinian processes.

On this episode of the ID The Future podcast Casey Luskin looks at what evolution has given us. Recently some mainstream scientists have been discussing what practical benefits Darwinian evolution holds for society? Surprisingly, they see little practical applications for Darwinian evolution, going so far as to admit that “evolution hasn’t yielded many practical or commercial benefits.” Last year, National Academy of Sciences member Phillip Skell made the observation last year that Darwinism is not the foundation of all biological research, and indeed exerts little influence in much of the research being done today.

Reading the reasons scientists give in their writings it is clear they base their opposition on a mischaracterization of ID, and a general misunderstanding of the what the theory proposes and what its proponents advocate. CSC’s Casey Luskin examines some recent articles by scientists and explains why their reasons are wrong. For more information visit the Center for Science & Culture.
