Show Notes

On this episode of ID the Future, CSC's Robert Crowther takes aim at Darwinist misinformation about the origins of intelligent design. Crowther makes mincemeat of the assertion that the term "intelligent design" was fabricated following the 1987 Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court case, showing instead that the term is over 100 years old. He also targets the old Darwinist canard that terms like micro- and macro-evolution were made up by Darwin's critics.

For more information on the history of intelligent design, read CSC Senior Fellow Jonathan Witt's "The Origin of Intelligent Design."
