Evolutionary Economics?On this video episode of IDTF, Senior Fellow Dr. John West takes a look at free market economics and business. It is often claimed that the free market operates like biological natural selection because the best ideas and products survive while others die out. However, West argues that the success of products and ideas is the result of intelligent decisions in designing products and developing new ideas. To mix economics and evolution together is to misunderstand both.

Who Designed the Designer?On this episode of ID The Future we have a short clip of Dr. Jay Richards, discussing the question who designed the designer?
Critics of intelligent design theory often throw this question out thinking to highlight a weakness in ID. Richards shows that the theory’s inability to identify the designer is not a weakness,
but a strength. ID does not identify the designer is because ID limits its
claims to those which can be established by empirical evidence. As CSC Senior Fellow Dr. Michae ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
