Intelligent Design Bears Good Scientific Fruit in the Study of ‘Junk DNA’

Intelligent Design}

For decades, many scientists have confidently dismissed the vast majority of the human DNA as useless evolutionary garbage. Yet a recently published scientific paper in Cell, one of the world’s most prestigious biology journals, declares a “paradigm shift” against the idea that huge portions of the human genome are merely “junk DNA.”

Scoring the Universe: A Rubric for Cosmological Design

_{Bruce Gordon
September 23, 2026}

By now, you’re likely familiar with the multiverse hypothesis, which is actually just one of dozens of cosmological models proposed to explain away the significance of a beginning to the universe and the evidence for fine-tuning. But you may not know there’s a rigorous method to evaluate these models, which can prove helpful in understanding the flaws of each. On today’s ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his conversation about evaluating cosmological models with philosopher of physics Bruce Gordon and physicist Brian Miller. In Part 1, the conversation started with a quick review of the Dr. Stephen Meyer’s recent debate with science communicator Phil Halper before looking at key questions that the debate turns on. Bruce and Brian also gave us answers to …

Inscrutable Dice and Bean Jars: Answering Objections to Fine-Tuning

_{Bruce Gordon
September 21, 2026}

You’re likely familiar with the evidence for the fine-tuning of the universe, and you may be aware that there are several cosmological models attempting to explain away that fine-tuning, including the popular multiverse hypothesis. But did you know an ID scientist has developed a scientifically rigorous method for scoring those models? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with philosopher of physics Bruce Gordon and physicist Brian Miller about Gordon’s scoring system and how it evaluates the many models on offer that might explain the origin and development of the universe. In Part 1, Gordon and Miller first share their thoughts on the recent debate between science communicator Phil Halper and philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer …

Mayor Warren Wilson on Environmentalists Caring More About Birds Than the Lives of King Cove Residents

_{Wesley J. Smith
September 20, 2026}

King Cove is a remote town in the Aleutian Islands, adjacent to the 300,000-acre Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. In 1980, the refuge was designated a wilderness area. That caused a severe problem for the people of King Cove. The nearest full-service hospital is in Anchorage, 900 miles away. The town does not have an all-weather airport. This means that people needing lifesaving care may not be able to access it during inclement weather. A town 20 miles away called Cold Bay does have an all-weather airport from which sick and injured people could be flown for medical help in bad weather — if they could only get there. So, the people of King Cove sought permission to cut a gravel road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to Cold Bay. They even offered a land swap that …
