Casey Luskin

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin celebrates Banned Books Week by nominating Dr. Marks’s Evolutionary Informatics Lab as the Banned Item of the Year.

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, CSC’s Casey Luskin interviews Dr. Bert Massie a physicist who worked for many years on the Dept of Defense’s Star Wars project, and for the past dozen years has worked in biotechnology, developing methods of scanning the retinas of infants to test for blindness. Massie explains how it is that after his extensive education and his career in science he has become a skeptic of Darwin, and discusses the evidence for intelligent design in physics, chemistry, and biology. Dr. Massie earned his Ph.D. in Physics from UCLA, and is a signer of the Dissent from Darwinism list.

Today on ID The Future, Casey Luskin interviews James Hoskins about his latest creative writing endeavors. Hoskins, a philosophy major at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, has written several pieces based on the debate between ID and Darwinian evolution, including one that pits Socrates and imaginary materialist Hector Dawkins against each other as they argue over the scientific merit of ID. Hoskins also reads excerpts from some of his stories, and describes the inspiration behind them. Hoskins’s work, including his Debate Between Socrates and Hector Dawkins, can be downloaded from ID Arts.

In today’s installment of ID The Future CSC’s Casey Luskin interviews Mario Lopez, co-founder of Ciencia Alternativa. Ciencia Alternativa is a website devoted to expanding intelligent design’s reach within the Spanish-speaking community. Lopez explains how he first became involved in ID, and describes the history and operations of Ciencia Alternativa. He also talks about some of his associates at Ciencia Alternativa and the harsh opposition they face from parts of the scientific community. According to Lopez, this opposition can be so severe that his associates must conduct ID-related work incognito to avoid endangering their reputations and employment elsewhere.

Today on ID The Future, Casey Luskin speaks with Gordy Slack about his new book, The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything: Evolution, Intelligent Design, and a School Board in Dover, PA. Slack also discusses his personal views on intelligent design and the socio-political implications of the ID-evolution debate.

On this episode of ID The Future CSC’s Casey Luskin discusses false information promoted by filmmaker Randy Olson regarding a 1994 textbook that used Haeckel’s fraudulent embryo drawings to promote evolution.

Showtime Networks will air filmmaker Randy Olson’s fanciful evolution film Flock of Dodos this week, apparently not realizing that key parts of the film are so wildly inaccurate that they amount to a hoax. One of the film’s worst errors is its claim that modern biology textbooks have not used illustrations derived from Ernst Haeckel’s fraudulent 19th century embryo drawings as evidence for evolution. On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin shares a clip from the film Icons of Evolution which debunks one of the biggest myths in Dodos by explaining how, contrary to Olson’s film, these bogus drawings that misstate the evidence for evolution have been endlessly recycled in modern textbooks.

On this episode of ID The Future we get a report on a recent ID conference in Knoxville, and a preview of the upcoming conference in Dallas.

What is intelligent design and what scientific evidence supports it? Why is it so controversial? How does it differ from Darwin’s theory of evolution? Is there a purpose to the universe? What new scientific facts are turning evolutionary theories upside down? These are just some of the intriguing questions addressed at the Darwin Vs. Design conferences.

On this episode of ID The Future CSC’s Casey Luskin talks about a lecture he recently delivered at Boise State University titled “The Positive Case for Intelligent Design.” Here he provides some clips from the lecture explaining the positive case for design while discussing why some Darwinists chose to “abstain” from attending.
