The Missing 20 Years: What Designer Science Left Out
Is the intelligent design movement a short-lived phenomenon that has come and gone? Or is its steady and consistent growth evidence of a flourishing scientific program? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin about his critique of a recent book called Designer Science that portrays the ID movement as a short-lived political, cultural, and religious phenomenon that has produced little new research in the last two decades. In Part 2, Luskin turns to another major problem: Designer Science almost entirely ignores the last twenty years of ID scientific research and novel arguments. As the book gets retracted by the publisher, Luskin corrects the record in this conversation. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

Stephen Meyer & Ben Shapiro Discuss the Origin of Information
On this episode of ID The Future from our archive, we’re bringing you the concluding half of a 2019 interview between Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro and philosopher of science Dr. Stephen C. Meyer.

Dr. Meyer considers this one of the best interviews he’s done on the subject of his second solo book Darwin’s Doubt. Shapiro was extremely well-prepared and asked great questions, resulting in a thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging hour-long conversation.

Angus Menuge: A Defense of the Soul in the Age of AI
Today’s episode of ID The Future comes from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of Discovery Institute’s Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. In this episode of Mind Matters News, hosts Dr. Robert J. Marks and Pat Flynn welcome returning guest Dr. Angus Menuge, professor of philosophy at Concordia University Wisconsin, to discuss his paper “Powers of the Soul Beyond AI.” Dr. Menuge breaks down the philosophical and logical limits of artificial intelligence, targeting the concept of anthropic mechanism to explain why material machines cannot replicate the immaterial aspects of human agency. Through the lens of five distinct powers—including insight, meta-insight, and free will—Menuge explores why large language models and advanced computing systems fall short of genuine understanding and human consciousness.
