I love that people from across the philosophical, intellectual, and spiritual spectrum are seeking out intelligent design proponents, trying to understand the relevant scientific evidence, the deep history of life, and what role purposeful agency may have played in directing it. Geologist Casey Luskin, Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture, had two recent conversations with thoughtful Muslims with popular YouTube channels.

It’s always delightful to see stereotypes about intelligent design being dynamited this way. Much of the focus is on the “junk DNA” argument against ID, but stay tuned for the amusing case of Dr. Dan Stern Cardinale of Rutgers University and the feathered crocodile. Dr. Luskin in on fire here, but congratulations to all three participants in the conversations.
