What Physics and Math Reveal About Unseen Dimensions of Reality

_{2286
Robert J. Marks
November 4, 2026}

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. Mind Matters regularly explores the nature of intelligence, the origin of information, and the things that make us uniquely human, all concepts that are central to the theory of intelligent design. Enjoy today’s offering of Mind Matters News! When we are asked to point to heaven, we point up. But that’s not where heaven is. That’s outer space. Today on the Mind Matters News podcast, host Robert J. Marks shares a lecture he recently gave in his Baylor University course Multidimensional Signal Analysis entitled “Where is Heaven?” The speculative talk approaches the concept of multiple dimensions from mathematical and theological angles to ask whether heaven might exist in dimensions beyond the ones we can perceive.

Is the Human Body Poorly Designed? An Award-Winning Engineer Answers

_{2285
Stuart Burgess
November 2, 2026}

Is the natural world full of flawed, makeshift designs, as some critics of intelligent design have argued? Or are living things far more ingeniously engineered than we’ve been led to believe? On this episode of ID the Future, host Andrew McDiarmid is pleased to bring you a conversation with award-winning British engineer and designer Dr. Stuart Burgess, a senior fellow with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and author of the book Ultimate Engineering. Dr. Burgess has spent decades studying engineering design, both in human technology and in humans themselves. And his work has led him to challenge the popular claim that biology is full of poor design. In this conversation, originally recorded for the Truthful Hope podcast, host Jacob Vasquez talks with Burgess about the so called bad design argument and what engineering principles can tell us about the evidence for intelligent design in nature.

“Into the Jungle of Fanciful Assumption”: Samuel Wilberforce Critiques Darwin

_{2284
Andrew McDiarmid
October 30, 2026}

In June 1860, just seven months after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, three men hotly debated the merits of Darwin’s argument at a meeting of the British Association. Biologist Thomas Henry Huxley and botanist Joseph Hooker defended Darwin’s theory. English bishop, speaker, and writer Samuel Wilberforce critiqued it. And though he was a man of the cloth, Wilberforce did not build a theological case against Darwin. Rather, he evaluated the argument for natural selection on scientific grounds, exposing its “loose statements and unfounded speculations” by weighing it “in the simple scales of logical examination.” On this classic ID The Future out of the vault, host Andrew McDiarmid treats you to excerpts from Wilberforce’s powerful critique, published as a review a month after the debate in Quarterly Review.
