Casey Luskin

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin discusses the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial. Nearly ten years ago, on December 20, 2005, Judge John E. Jones ruled in Kitzmiller v. Dover that intelligent design is religion and not science. His decision was based on faulty reasoning and misrepresentation of intelligent design. As we approach the 10–year anniversary of Dover, listen to a recent lecture by Casey Luskin who covered the trial for Evolution News in his role as then Science Education Policy Program Officer. In this first segment of a three part series Casey recaps how the trial came about.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin discusses the taxonomy of information, explaining various ways of defining information and whether or not they are helpful for making a design inference. He examines syntactic information, Shannon information and Kolmogorov information.

On this episode of ID the Future, Nate Herbst of The God Solution interviews Casey Luskin on the recent Homo naledi find. Luskin discusses claims of where Homo naledi fits into the fossil record and whether or not it buried its dead, ultimately answering the question, “Is Homo naledi a human ancestor?”

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin talks with Felipe Aizpún, author of The Fifth Way and Intelligent Design (La quinta vía y el diseño inteligente) and prolific writer on ID and the debate over origins. Aizpún shares how intelligent design is both a scientific and philosophical argument, and discusses Thomist philosophers’ opposition to ID.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Captain Dave Anderson, filmmaker and owner of Capt. Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari, who was involved in the production of Illustra Media’s new documentary, Living Waters: Intelligent Design in the Oceans of the Earth. Anderson shares about drone filming, whale disentanglement, and the importance of nature documentaries that explore design.

On this episode of ID the Future, Sarah Chaffee interviews Casey Luskin, Research Coordinator at the Center for Science and Culture and contributor to the newly-released Debating Darwin’s Doubt. Listen in as Casey Luskin responds to a common criticism of the book Darwin’s Doubt related to its stated length of the Cambrian Explosion, and also looks at small shelly fossils and what they can lend to our understanding of the Cambrian Explosion.

On this fourth episode of ID the Future, Sarah Chaffee interviews Casey Luskin, Research Coordinator at the Center for Science and Culture and contributor to the newly-released Debating Darwin’s Doubt. Luskin unpacks the book’s responses to biologist Donald Prothero, contrasting Prothero’s arguments on the length of the Cambrian explosion and rates of evolution with points Erwin and Valentine (who do not support ID) presented in their well-respected book, The Cambrian Explosion.

On this third episode of ID the Future, Sarah Chaffee interviews Casey Luskin, Research Coordinator at the Center for Science and Culture and contributor to the newly-released Debating Darwin’s Doubt. Luskin unpacks the book’s responses to BioLogos, exploring several key disagreements between ID proponents and theistic evolutionists over detection of design in nature and methodological naturalism.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Lad Allen, director of Illustra Media’s newest film, Living Waters: Intelligent Design in the Oceans of the Earth. Allen gives a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the documentary, including filming footage of dolphins and whales off the California coast. On August 7, Discovery Institute will host the northwest film premiere of Living Waters, at McCaw Hall in Seattle. For more information and to register, visit our event page.

On this second episode of ID the Future, Sarah Chaffee interviews Casey Luskin, Research Coordinator at the Center for Science and Culture and contributor to the newly-released Debating Darwin’s Doubt. Luskin unpacks the book’s responses to Charles Marshall’s review in the journal Science, exploring developmental gene regulatory networks and the origin of new biological information.
