On this classic episode of ID the Future, host Eric Metaxas continues his conversation with biologist and professor Dr. Douglas Axe. The subject is Axe’s book Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life is Designed and his account of how he lost his position at a Cambridge research lab because of the implications of his research findings. Axe discusses the polarized atmosphere in science today, driven by an unreasonable commitment to materialism. Axe also talks about the reliability of our built-in design intuition and the implications of living in a designed universe. This is Part 2 of a two-episode interview.

How to Train Up a New Generation of James Clerk Maxwells
Is it possible to produce mathematicians today of the same caliber as greats like Sir Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell? How can we help young people develop a genuine interest in mathematics, including its history, applications, and philosophy? Today on ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with mathematics educator, curriculum designer, and medical physicist Amos Tarfa. In Part 1, Amos profiled 19th century Scottish mathematician and physicist James Clerk Maxwell to help us better understand the great scientist’s contributions and how they relate to today’s debate over evolution and intelligent design. Here in Part 2, Amos tells us more about his vision for math education and how we can train up the next generation of James Clerk Maxwells.

Faith and Reason: A Profile of Mathematician James Clerk Maxwell
He's one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century, and his work laid the foundation for modern physics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell is a pivotal figure in the history of modern science, and his scientific study was inspired by the belief that the works of nature reflect the work of a designing intelligence. Today, my guest is mathematics educator, curriculum designer, and medical physicist Amos Tarfa, who helps us profile Maxwell to better understand the great scientist’s contributions and lasting influence. Tarfa also unpacks how Maxwell harmonized his faith in God with his scientific reasoning, and gives examples of how his discoveries point toward deeper questions about order, design, and meaning in the universe. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.

Douglas Axe on the Human Element in Science
On this episode of ID the Future selected out of our vault, host Eric Metaxas begins a conversation with biologist and professor Dr. Douglas Axe on The Eric Metaxas show. Axe is the Maxwell Professor of Molecular Biology at Biola University, the founding Director of Biologic Institute, the founding Editor of BIO-Complexity, and the author of Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life is Designed. In Part 1, Dr. Axe shares how he lost his research position in Cambridge during a season of political controversy over Darwinian evolution in the UK. He also shares what he learned from his experiments in protein evolution that cast doubt on the neo-Darwinian explanation for life. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.

Irreducible Complexity: Michael Behe Breaks Down a Key ID Concept
Could you explain irreducible complexity to a friend? How about firing off three reasons you believe it to be true? You never know when you'll be asked to explain your scientific worldview to a family member, friend, or associate. The real question: are you ready? On this ID The Future, we get another chance to learn from biochemist Dr. Michael Behe. Here, Dr. Behe discusses his journey into the field of biochemistry, his key concept of irreducible complexity, and the distinctions between intelligent design and creationism. The conversation also explores scientific and philosophical objections to intelligent design, the implications of Darwinian evolution, and the significance of recent scientific advancements in understanding life's complexity. This interview originally aired on the Truthful Hope podcast.
