Welcome to the Theology & Ethics podcast! In this episode, the KC team (and guest Dr. Casey Luskin) discuss new findings in the world of common ancestry, and what it means for the world of Darwinian Evolution and Intelligent Design.

Casey Luskin is a scientist and an attorney with graduate degrees in science and law, holding a PhD in Geology from the University of Johannesburg and a law degree from the University of San Diego. In his role at Discovery Institute, Dr. Luskin works as Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture, where he helps direct the ID 3.0 Research Program, and assists and defends scientists, educators, and students who seek to freely study, research, and teach about the scientific debate over Darwinian evolution and Intelligent Design.
