Center for Science and Culture Senior Fellow Stephen Dilley explores this curious phenomenon in his talk at the 2025 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith.
Scientific arguments can take a long time to percolate through the culture, especially when the scientific establishment and media push another narrative.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our universe is the discovery that just four fundamental forces of nature govern interactions among all particles.
You might find this hard to believe, but back in Charles Darwin’s day, the cell was thought of as little more than a piece of jelly. Thomas Henry Huxley called it a “simple, homogenous globule of undifferentiated protoplasm.” But today, thanks to discoveries in molecular biology, we’ve discovered the cell is something far more astonishing. And that begs a crucial question: if the cell is infinitely more than Darwin envisioned, can a Darwinian process really explain its origin, and how it came to produce the diversity we see in life?
On today’s ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with molecular biologist Dr. Douglas Axe and biochemist Dr. Michael Behe, two experts featured in the new movie The Story of Everything. Over two episodes they’ll discuss their participation in the movie and unpack some of the insights they share in it. We’re also sharing some exclusive clips from the movie!
On this episode, Mind Matters News host Dr. Robert J. Marks welcomes Dr. Mihretu Guta to discuss one of his chapters in the volume Minding the Brain titled “Mirror Neurons, Consciousness, and the Bearer Question.” Dr. Guta discusses the concept of “mirror neurons” – a type of brain cell that fires when a person observes an action being performed, as well as when the person performs the same action themselves. The properties of these neurons suggest they may play a role in empathy and understanding others’ actions. Dr. Guta explores the implications of mirror neurons to the mind-brain debate and how further study could illuminate these fascinating neural components.
By now you might have heard about The Story of Everything, the new movie based on Dr. Stephen Meyer’s book Return of the God Hypothesis. It’s a cinematic exploration of the cosmos that reveals the hidden hand behind our universe. We’re pretty excited about it, and we want you to be able to share in the excitement too! On this ID The Future, CSC Education & Outreach Director Daniel Reeves chats with physicist Dr. Brian Miller about his participation in the movie and why the film is such a powerful presentation of the evidence for intelligent design.
Moving from the Big Bang and the discovery of cosmic beginnings, to the fine-tuning of the physical constants that make life possible, to the extraordinary complexity and information embedded in DNA, mathematician John Lennox, philosopher of science Stephen Meyer, and chemist James Tour, explores whether these developments point to blind, undirected processes—or to the activity of an intelligent mind. The trio challenges long-held materialist assumptions, revisits classic scientific debates, and reflects on what these questions mean not only for science but also for our understanding of human existence and purpose. …
Join biologist and medical doctor Michael Denton in Australia as he explores how nature is exquisitely fine-tuned for the operation of the human body in this latest episode of Secrets of the Human Body.
In the Declaration of Independence, America’s Founders proclaimed that “all men are created equal” and “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” These were not idle words. They were supported by the Founders’ firm conviction that nature supplied objective evidence of a Creator. In this video, learn the untold story about the Founders’ belief that nature was intelligently designed. This video is adapted from the book Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America’s Soul by John G. West.

The Declaration of Independence proclaims that “all men are created equal” and “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” For generations, those hallowed words inspired not only Americans, but millions around the globe. Yet today many Americans are skeptical or confused about the Declaration’s key claims. Now comes a powerful defense of America’s founding: Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America’s Soul by John G. West published by Discovery Institute Press.

The Darwinian account of the human race would be much easier to believe in good faith if scientists could point to a clearly inferior and clearly human being.
As Bethel McGrew notes, the tradition of seeing the stars, planets, and the rest of space as pointing to a creator has a distinguished scientific history.
In a world where pundits regularly accuse us all of being too anthropocentric, the naming of a new geological epoch would enshrine that view forever in science.
This is why Darwinists can easily incorporate new discoveries into their origin narrative. It is because they never really address the true causal implications.
Information and orderly processes don’t happen by accident any more than a factory production line organizes itself out of unassembled constituent parts.
Scientific arguments can take a long time to percolate through the culture, especially when the scientific establishment and media push another narrative.
Scientists are still discovering how many systems, controls, and other aspects of planetary fine-tuning are in place to ensure that we have abundant life.
One thing that is likely to get some pushback is the study’s claim that modern-style plate tectonics on Earth did not commence until the Neoproterozoic.
We protect trees and woodlands with laws and regulations without resorting to irrational ideological justifications and materially impeding human thriving.
AI systems increasingly resemble human intelligence. But resemblance alone does not make them image bearers. It cannot. AI systems do not represent God.
In a beautiful, exciting, deeply informed film, scientists and scholars explain why the story of meaning and purpose in a created universe has been vindicated.
The standpoint of poet John Keats is certainly gaining resonance in our doubt-ridden 21st century. I for one welcome its openness to questioning and wonder.

First, the conversation delves into the site’s launch in December 2004, when the modern intelligent design movement and the Internet were both relatively new.
