On a new episode of ID the Future, we’re sharing a conversation with author, speaker, and professor Nancy Pearcey that originally aired on the eX-skeptic Podcast.

Over the years, Pearcey has contributed significantly to discussions surrounding Darwinism, scientism, and intelligent design through influential books like Total Truth, Love Thy Body, and The Toxic War on Masculinity. Her work challenges reductionistic views of human beings and explores how scientific materialism shapes Read More › Source
