I.D. The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.

Welcome to ID the Future. I'm Andrew McDermid.

Well, today you're in for a treat as we share with you selections from a recent talk by Dr. Casey Luskin on the origin and

uniqueness of human beings. You'd be hard pressed to find another lecture that accomplishes

what Casey does here. Review the fossil history of hominids and humans to show the large

unbridged gap between the two. Bust the myth that humans are 99% genetically similar to chimps,

demonstrate the plausibility of intelligent design

to explain the big bang origin of the genus Homo,

and argue that the human race is unique and unparalleled

in its moral, intellectual, and creative abilities.

If you've ever had doubt that human beings stand unique among living things,

or you know someone who thinks we evolved and we share a common ancestor with chimps,

And let me tell you, Casey is in the zone here.

He's energized, and he can talk pretty quickly.

I scribbled eight pages of notes while I listen to it. Feel free to take your own notes and hit the

pause button when you need to. Ready? Here we go. Here's Dr. Casey Laskin now.

So this talk is going to be in three parts. We're first going to talk about fossils, then we're

going to talk about genetics, then we're going to talk about psychology in the human mind,

and how all of these point to intelligent design rather than an evolutionary origin of the human

species. So what is the evolutionary view of human origin? So the standard evolutionary view

starts about five to
