ID the Future

with Andrew McDiarmid

Take a Tour of the Cell in an Incredible Shrinking Submarine!

_{2232
Tom Woodward
June 29, 2026}

Imagine you have been invited to a futuristic discovery center, a lavishly funded facility that has pioneered the ability to shrink people and objects many orders of magnitude. What if you could climb aboard an incredible shrinking submarine and travel into the heart of a living cell? This would be a tour like no other, to be sure! You’d get a glimpse of DNA, molecular machines, and cellular architecture, certainly, but you’d also bear witness to the workings of a hidden world of information and epigenetic controls operating beyond the physical structures of life. On this ID The Future, historian of science Dr. Tom Woodward reads an excerpt from his new book Epigenetics and the Architect, co-authored with Dr. James Gills. And rather than beginning with definitions and diagrams, he invites us on an imaginative journey inspired by sci-fi movie classics like Fantastic Voyage, Innerspace, or Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Bijan Nemati on the Search for Habitable Planets

_{2231
Bijan Nemati
June 26, 2026}

One of the most exciting areas of space research is the search for Earth-like planets around other stars. Since the first discovery some 30 years ago, thousands of exoplanets have been identified and catalogued, but the vast majority bear little resemblance to Earth and would not be conducive to even simple life, much less large organisms such as ourselves. However, during the same 30 years, planet-hunting technology has also vastly improved. Where do things stand today, and what can we expect over the next decade as the hunt continues? On this classic episode of ID the Future out of the vault, host and amateur astronomer Eric Anderson begins a two-part conversation with Bijan Nemati, professional astronomer and expert on exoplanet search technology, to review the history of exoplanet research and upcoming NASA missions. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.

Beyond DNA: Evidence for Intelligent Design at the Frontier of Biology

Tom Woodward
June 24, 2026}

A second revolution is underway in biology today. DNA isn’t the whole story for the development of living things. The deeper scientists look into the cell, the more they find layers of coding, regulation, communication, and control. Where did all this additional information come from? On today’s ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his conversation with Dr. Tom Woodward, co-author with Dr. James Gills of a new book called Epigenetics and the Architect: Evidence of Design at the Frontier of Biology. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.

Junking the Myth of Human/Chimp Similarity — Casey Luskin

_{Casey Luskin
June 22, 2026
Intelligent Design
2026 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith}

Casey Luskin shows how the common claim that humans are about 99% genetically similar to chimpanzees is misleading. Citing newer research, Luskin suggests the difference may be closer to about 15% when the entire genome is considered. Earlier comparisons overstated similarity due to methodological choices, such as aligning genomes in ways that minimized differences. Moreover, much of the genetic difference — especially in repetitive DNA — is functionally important, not “junk.” It influences things like brain development and gene regulation. Luskin notes that in any case percentage similarity alone cannot prove common ancestry, since similarities could also be explained by “common design.” The human genome, it turns out, supports a view of human uniqueness rather than …
