that reasonable people, I think, have always known in their heart is true that all men are created equal and that we are endowed by are created with certain unalienable rights.

And so really the good news here is that science is pointing back to the truths that the American founders knew 250 years ago.

The truths actually, I would argue, who you find in the Bible, too.

I.D. go, the truth actually, I would argue who you find in the Bible, too. ID, the future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.

The Declaration of Independence is our nation's founding creed, reminding us time and again

that we are endowed by our creator with

found in our nation's founding creed. Well, is there hope for recovering these truths anew?

Welcome to Idea the Future. I'm your host, Andrew McDermid. And I am back again with

Dr. John West to conclude our discussion about his latest book endowed by our creator, the Bible,

science, and the battle for America's soul. Dr. West is vice president and a senior fellow at the

Discovery Institute, where he serves as managing director of the Institute's Center

for Science and Culture. His current research examines the impact of science and scientism on public

policy and culture. He has written or edited 12 other books, including this one. That is Darwin Day

in America, how our politics and culture have been dehumanized in the name of science,

the magician's twin, C.S. Lewis, on science, scientism, and society, and even a book on

Walt Disney and live action. So Dr. West has also directed and written several documentaries

exploring intelligent design and the debate over revolution.

So a filmmaker as well. Dr. West, thanks for joining us again.

Andrew, thanks for having me back.

Well, in part one, we explored how the words of the Declaration were inspired and informed

by the philosophy, theology, and the science of the founder's era.
