We are in the age of artificial intelligence. But what does that mean for the human future?

Stephen C. Meyer on “The Story of Everything”

In 50 BC, the great Roman statesman Cicero expressed a thought that has been echoed by thinkers down the generations: “The celestial order and beauty of the universe compel me to admit that there is some excellent and eternal Being who deserves the respect and homage of men.” But in our own day, the evolutionary biologist and atheism proselytizer Richard Read More ›

Dr. Benjamin S. Carson Sr. on His Life and the Importance of America’s Founding Principles

In our badly fractured society, can public servants and politicians act with decency and argue about policy with restraint and dignity?

Jan Jekielek on China’s Forced Organ Harvesting Atrocity

In one of the great atrocities in human history, Chinese political prisoners are tissue-typed and later murdered and harvested to supply the country’s thriving organ transplant black market. How long have regime enemies been so targeted and how does the system work? For years, that has been difficult to discern fully. China is one of the world’s most secretive societies Read More ›

Dr. Casey Luskin on the Genetic Differences Between Humans and Chimpanzees and Why They Matter

Chimpanzees, we are told, are the closest relatives to human beings. Indeed, for years scientists claimed that there is only about a one percent difference separating the human genome from that of chimps. Some advocates even claimed that means humans are mostly chimps, or that chimps are mostly human, eroding the principle of human exceptionalism. But research published last year Read More ›

Dr. Michael J. New on Abortion, the Dobbs Decision, Sidewalk Counseling, and the Annual March for Life

The struggle over the legality of abortion has roiled the country for more than fifty years.

Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick on the Nature of Evil

Is evil a metaphysical reality, or is it merely a word we use to describe intentionally destructive behavior or horribly painful outcomes? If evil is real, what is its nature? Can one believe in the existence of evil without having a religious understanding of reality? And if evil does exist, does that mean good must also? My guest today, a Read More ›
