Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. He has authored most recently the New York Times best seller Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2013) as well as Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2009), which was named a Book of the Year by the prestigious Times (of London) Literary Supplement in 2009. For more about Stephen and his research visit darwinsdoubt.com/ .
In 2004, Stephen C. Meyer, one of the preeminent scientists studying the origins of life, ignited a firestorm of media and scientific controversy when a biology journal at the Smithsonian Institution published his peer-reviewed article advancing the theory of Intelligent Design. Then, in his two bestselling books, Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, he helped unravel a mystery that Charles Darwin did not address (How did life begin?) and offered further scientific proof to bolster his arguments on the history of life and our origins, concluding that life was designed. In those previous books, Meyer purposely refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now, in The Return of the God Hypothesis, he brings his ideas full circle, providing a reasoned and evidence-based answer to the ultimate mystery of the universe, drawn from recent scientific discoveries in physics, cosmology, and biology.

I never tire of listening to Dr. Meyer-Such a wonderful speaker. Parts of this talk reminded me of this quote by Baha’u’llah: “…whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is a direct evidence of the revelation within it of the attributes and names of God, inasmuch as within every atom are enshrined the signs that bear eloquent testimony to the revelation of that Most Great Light.”

[@user-eu7mu1rm8f]

Stephen Meyer is truly a national resource, intelligent, knowledgeable, and winsome. Intuitively, Meyer's thinking is the opposite of quackery. I have always been interested in the issues presented by the question of origins. Scientific materialists insist that everything we know is a function of matter and energy. Early on, that puzzled me, since we now know that life is defined and driven by DNA. DNA is highly complex, highly specific functinal information. What is the mass, texture, and dimension of information? It has none. It is neither matter nor enegy. It is perfectly non-material. And yet, living things are defined by it. Thus, logicailly, it seems to me that the claim that everything in the universe is defined by matter and energy is defeated. Scientific materialism is therefore refuted. Surely, such reasoning very directly supports Meyer's thesis, he can be seen as a very formidable advocate for the God hypothesis.

[@michaelnapper4565]

I am blessed and grateful for this mans life work, but I find it absurd that he needs to expend so much energy refuting foolish men. I do not blame him, I blame them for being willfully ignorant of the evidence. Give glory to God my friends. He is worthy of it.

[@ramaraksha01]

God made in the image of the King/Dictator - "We must get down on our knees, swear loyalty(belief) & obedience to this master and only to this master, beg for his mercy and hope for a reward(heaven)" Like prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders who "love" their rich Sugar Daddies and sing their praises all so that they get a life of ease & comfort, theists lower themselves down to their level hoping for a life of pleasure and ease in Heaven If there was no Heaven, none of you would care whether God exists or not

[@tonyjames1953]

Why do we need science to point us anywhere? Science, from the pretensions of those who worship at its altar, is simply the reasoning of men in their attempt to understand the material world. The mind is more than sufficient evidence that there is so much more beyond the material world; in fact, without the mind, there is no material world, for who or what would perceive it? One doesn't need science to find God. One need humility.

[@madhatter734]

One of the things that has ALWAYS bothered me about the darwinistic evolutionary debate is that only the fauna side is very discussed but why isn't flora development ever talked about. For example what evolutionary mechanism is responsible for the movement from simple plants such as algae into a rose? Maybe the argument can be made for algae into grass as it would be splashed onto land but what motivates a simple plant to develop "thorns" much less attractive color or scents.... plants are perfect examples of living things that are completely oblivious to their surroundings so how could the plant be "aware" of bees in the first place to trigger the development of non photosynthesis pigments or the inducing aroma of the flower or even if oblivious how could it develop thorn to defend itself?

[@adamburling9551]

" *The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music* " The statement by Richard Dawkins has always been one of the most ridiculously illogical and self defeating statements ever. If this were true Richard is not free to make that statement as it completely negates itself.

[@martam4142]

True. And if DNA "doesn't" care" (lol), and we ARE dna, then how can Mr. Dawkins have moral concerns? Self-refuting arguments are probably the most pathetic form of anti-intellectualism. That so many people worship this moron of Dawkins is a sad sign of our times. The terms "garbage + thinker" describe him perfectly.

Darwin's theory actually proves that God not only create species, but also give them the ability of adaption, meaning that species have the capacity of adapting themselves into each specific enviroment for survival. Darwin's book name should be changed from "the origin of species" to "the adaption of species".

[@alexstramp7688]

[@nwzz2916]

Interesting fact; From earths perspective we are only capturing a certain maximum degree of visibility with respect to planets. So every time we make a discovery of a planet, its size, composition, orbit, etc; that is solely because our viewing angle is just right to detect it. In other words, when we detect one planet, there are likely over a hundred more that we simply cannot detect because our viewing angle doesn't allow us to. So we can infer how many planets there are in the universe even though we just can't see them.

[@PInk77W1]

How Richard Dawkins made me a Christian. “Biology is the study of living things that appear Designed”

[@edwardlobb931]

The exponential expansion of materialism in parallel to Darwin's lifetime inevitably led to the enthusiastic embracing of "The Theory of Evolution" as a refutation of God. In parallel, there became a direct correlation with Marxism, attendant to the ensuing rapid intrusion of anti-theism into the realm of scientific thought. This created a state of emotional and intellectual emptiness that is now manifesting as both active and benign mass depression - an anti-God psychosis within the academic establishment.

[@perennialpump2385]

To know the true nature of God one must first negate him, so in this sense science is on the right track.

[@pucka_ak47]

I don't know why we're looking for a material God when we already know that our finite mind (or what is going on inside it) is not materialistic...we should stop immediately to separate and distinct ourselves from God because we are one and everything is connected...the smartest scientist in this world if they all come together with their mind's and PHD's can't create one simple grain of rice and yet they're denying God... stay blessed...

It is an irony that only a conscious mind can deny an intelligent creator is in itself proof that he is. Because only a conscious mind can decide to be an atheist. Many won't get this. But the atheist now has to come up with 'information' that explains the forming of information. If there was no conscious mind then we would not need to explain how information came about.

[@brando3342]

To be fair to Dawkins. His quote specified "In a purely material universe"... what we find is pitilessness and indifference. I would just say, that is completely correct.. IF we had a purely material universe. The problem with Dawkins' quote is that he was presupposing materialism. Also, it is very telling that those two qualities are literally the opposite of true love and love itself is not reducible to the material.

[@jiin5993]

Nature is pitiless and indifferent. It might not what you would like it to be, but your feelings have nothing to say about what is true. Nature is also beautiful and inspiring. Love is a bond between humans, we make the world livable for each other. Is this all not enough? Why invoke anything metaphysical, when we have each other and nature to inspire us and love us? It is simply a hypothesis born from desire, but please realize there is not much left to be desired!

[@rapha4u2]

[@PatrickSingsASong]

"If the material universe has a beginning the you can't invoke matter to explain it's origin" - who is asserting that the material universe has a beginning and if so is their evidence and proof, valid and reliable?

[@wildlyoptimistic1352]

There cannot be conflict between truth revealed by science and truth revealed by religion - it is all the same. The problem is always our perceptions and our presumptions of the nature of God and how how he works and our presumptions of what science has “proven”

[@robertdennis3892]

The typical argument against fine tuning of the universe seems to be that life originated in the conditions that were present. If the parameters had been different, then the resultant life would have been different, and these different parameters would appear to have also been fine tuned. (A jigsaw puzzle piece is always going to precisely match the spot it fits in, regardless of which puzzle is being discussed).

Stephen is spot on with his logic and science! Biology is rife with observable physical facts and evidences that can only be explained by physically existential attributes. Powerfully compelling evidence that leaves no room for retreat to the comparatively ailing and incompetent hype of Darwinian evolution via purely naturalistic casual forces. No excuse. While I disagree with Stephen's adherence to the secular notion of extremely vast ages, specifically the millions and billions of years they insist on, I think i understand how he got there. I pray he has a revelation and realizes he can trust God's word more than he can trust the consensus of secular scientists. They need those vast ages to make room for their imaginations about Darwinian processes! But there are hundreds of fatal problems with imagining even 20 million years of Earth's mechanical functionality, let alone 4 or 5 billion years! Who was doing all the maintenance, for instance? Because the laws of entropy and physics interacting with all the relevant matter, etc, breeds very real problems and compounds them exponentially for everyone who flippantly insist those are realistic time frames.
