So any life that we can envision, even if it's somewhat different from life on Earth, life is going to have to exist in that high energy, high order state.

There's going to have to be molecular machines.

There's going to have to be information.

it was intelligently designed. It did not simply evolve and arise through blind natural mechanisms.

Aliens are trending right now.

At least the topic of alien life and the possibility of it.

It's in the news, it's in our movie theaters, and even the U.S. government is getting in on

But here's a question that isn't getting explored as much as others.

If we did find alien life, will that alien life support the case for

intelligent design or an evolutionary origin of life? Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Andrew

McDermott. Joining us to discuss this intriguing topic is Dr. Casey Luskin. Casey is a regular voice

on ID the Future, but for those of you who may not be as

familiar with him, let me give you some details. Casey serves as Associate Director of Discovery

Institute's Center for Science and Culture, where he helps direct the ID 3.0 research program

and assists and defend scientists, educators, and students who seek to freely study research and teach about the

scientific debate over Darwinian evolution and ID. He holds a PhD in geology from the University

of Johannesburg, as well as graduate degrees in science and law, giving him that expertise in both

the scientific and legal dimensions of the debate over evolution.
