On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Scientific Dissent From Darwinism signer, biologist Mauricio Alcocer Ruthling, about the scientific problems with evolution. Dr. Alcocer Ruthling received his Ph.D. in plant science from the University of Idaho and is now Director of Graduate Studies at the Universidad Autónoma in Guadalajara, Mexico. Dr. Alcocer Ruthling has studied the importance of fitness costs to the use of herbicides and explains why fitness costs demonstrate the existence of genetic barriers to evolution.

On this episode of ID the Future, CSC Director of Research Jay Richards interviews Ann Gauger, senior research scientist at Biologic Institute, on a new article she and Dr. Ralph Seelke have in the peer-reviewed journal BIO-Complexity. Working with her co-authors, Dr. Gauger experimentally tested two-step adaptive paths that should have been within easy reach for bacterial populations. Listen in and learn what Dr. Gauger was surprised to find as she discusses the implications of these experiments for Darwinian evolution.

On this episode of ID the Future we present a short clip of senior fellow Dr. Michael Behe at the Intelligent Design Under Fire conference where he talks about the acceptance of intelligent design based on misinformation and stereotypes as promoted by the media. He contrasts the current status of intelligent design with that of Big Bang theory in the beginning of the 20th century, when many scientists refused to accept Big Bang theory because they didn’t like the philosophical implications.

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin reports on interesting new genetic research which shows that our ancestral tree may not be quite what you think. This research, published in the science journal Nature over the past few months, shows a much greater genetic distance between humans and chimps than previously thought. Intriguingly, it also reveals a closer relationship between humans and Neanderthals. Listen in for the full story.

On this episode of ID the Future, CSC Research Director Jay Richards interviews protein scientist Doug Axe on his critical review paper published in the new journal, BIO-Complexity.

On this episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Robert Crowther examines whether intelligent design is an impediment to scientific progress, and says the answer is an emphatic no. According to Crowther, Darwinists making this claim are mistaken — listen in to find out why.

On this episode of ID The Future, the CSC’s Casey Luskin discusses the ACLU’s history of misrepresenting intelligent design, and promulgating deceptive definitions of the theory. For an accurate definition and explanation of what intelligent design is, visit Intelligentdesign.org.

This episode of ID the Future features a special commentary from Discovery Institute’s David Klinghoffer about Jet Propulsion Laboratory employee David Coppedge’s discrimination lawsuit against his employers. Coppedge is suing his employers for discrimination after being demoted for talking about intelligent design on the job.

This episode of ID the Future features a special news alert as NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab has been sued for harassing and demoting David Coppedge, a supporter of intelligent design. Listen in and learn about the latest threat to academic freedom on evolution — and what you can do to help.

What happens when an employer tries to punish an employee for their pro-intelligent design views? On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews William J. Becker, Jr., a first amendment attorney in California. Mr. Becker is the attorney for David Coppedge who filed suit this week against NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The lawsuit claims that supervisors at JPL illegally harassed and demoted Mr. Coppedge, a high-level computer system administrator and Team Lead on the Cassini Mission to Saturn project, for expressing support of intelligent design to co-workers. Listen in and learn about the religious discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful demotion David Coppedge suffered, and stay tuned to Evolution News & Views for continuing updates on this story.
