what does god need DNA for? what does god need the higgs boson for? god can make life from chewing gum if he wants, but for some reason he has to make sure all the numbers are just so - whose laws of physics is he using if he has to tinker to make everything work? do you folks not THINK? gods odds of life ought to be 1:1 and tour, meyers and the other liars and cheats say life is bzillions to one against - life is UNLIKELY that's just dumb by your own standard. and god himself does not leave evidence, you are required to ave FAITH, not KNOW. these people are making a joke of your religion and you are right there behind them - unbelievably silly.
why, he is making a mockery of your religion, god does not allow evidence of his existence, meyer, behe, ross, tour, they are all going against your religion, what do they expect to find, a trade mark symbol? god does not allow evidence, they will look as dumb as they are eventually. they are all just after notoriety, they have no interest in god if they think they can "prove" god exists. and you are backing them, that's just daft by your own standards.
lol, even when he's lying to you? you think god ought to bless liars? there is one GLARINGLY obvious problem with what all the meyers charlatans come out with that religists just seem to totally ignore, i bet you ANY amount of money you care to mention you have no idea why meyer is a liar and what he says cannot be true - according to your own religion. you have all the time in the world to work it out, but i bet you can't.
There is no science for the existence of God. Also, once you affirm your belief in a God then there is the problem of which God is real? Then there is the problem of morality. Is it moral to believe in something that might not exist? The existence of God, like the question of the universe having a beginning or not, is an antimony of reason and has no objective answer. A better scientific understanding of the nature of God is found in the science of Mankind In Amnesia by Immanuel Velikovsky. Velikovsky shows by scientific principles that God is a way to forgetfulness and amnesia of past catastrophic events that actually happened and are recorded all around the world. There is a preponderance of evidence that the idea of god is a response to the fear of these cataclysms as our human fate.
The quote you're referring to is by Robert Jastrow: "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he isgreeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

Yes it does! Even looking at the details that show a beginning, how "God stretched out the heavens" and "hung the earth on nothing." There's three things where scripture was there first. (Theologians being secondary.) In addition, the fine tuning of this Goldilock's universe is so incredibly sharp at every turn that it demands an explanation better than the "push it back farther" multiverse one. (That's not observable science, it's "conjecture science.") Not to mention, the mind blowing complexity of DNA and the irreducible complexity of the molecular nano "machines". Then there's the fact that mankind has come no where close to creating life in the lab. See James Tour on that. The enormous weight of these things demands a real consideration of God, to say the least.

@@old_nick_the_so-and-soThank you for sharing your thoughts I Checked out some of your others statements and we definitely see the subject differently. The Bible doesn't ask for blind faith and I don't see Science as only being in the business of discussions on the material as the Big Bang brought Space, Time and Matter into observable existence. What brought that natural or material universe into existence is by definition SUPER natural or immaterial and outside time or in other words, it's eternal. Meyer and company also use Darwin's own standards of evidence. That the inference to the best explanation is something we already find in operation. As in for example, complex information (whether language, code, or blueprints) have only been observed coming from minds, not simply dead matter. The complex information in our DNA are blueprints for the building of our bodies. Just as an engineer makes blueprints for a circuit board or a architect creates blueprints for an experienced builder to follow. Meyer's arguments line up squarely with reason, logic and science. Agency isn't pseudoscience. When we see a clear ancient symbol in a cave, we don't assume wind and erosion did it, we assume a mind or agent made those pictures or writings. The Rosetta Stone wasn't made by wind or erosion, and I see a clear common sense argument that the language and instructions in DNA came from an intelligent agent as well. An agent that brought Space, Time, and Matter into existence. I don't find it coincidence that the Bible speaks about an expanding universe about a dozen times. The Nobel Laureate Arno Penzias made sure to give credit to the Bible for this fact. Said he could have predicted the Big Bang simply from the Bible. All those men you've referenced are on the absolute right track. The Bible says as much. Its speaks about all of creation being evidence for God. I agree. God bless you and yours friend 🙏✝️🙏.
what do ross, meyer, behe, tour and pals hope to find? why are they doing science in fact cos at the bottom of their barrel all you will find is more "nature did it". they must be really crappy christians to not realise that if god were real he doesn't allow evidence of his existence, the whole premise of christianity is you are required - it is demanded of you - that you have faith, not knowledge. are they expecting to find a trade mark? do they think god made a blunder and has some kind of electronic device hidden in all the nature stuff? they are the dumbest people in a bucket of dumb people.
A 2016 paper in Nature demonstrated that the dark color in peppered moths is not a product of random mutation. Rather, it appears that a stretch of moveable DNA (a transposon) is responsible for the color variation. Transposons are stretches of DNA that are able to move around between various places in the genome.
Its simply variation where as in this case due to the incredible amount of pollution from coal soot from the industrial age made lighter colored moths more visible to predators.
“I am quite conscious that my speculations run beyond the bounds of true science. It is a mere rag of an hypothesis with as many flaws and holes as sound parts.” -C. Darwin
And the last 160 years of scientific research has only added to Darwin's own conclusions, and reinforced evolution as explanation for the diversity of life on earth.
@@mirandahotspring4019 in the last 160 years since darwin published his hypothesis we have seen billions of ape births, billions of human births, and zero transitions. Darwin's theory has a 0% success rate. Meanwhile what we actually DO observe is that humans always and only produce more humans and apes only produce more apes just like Genesis 1 says God designed them to. So while observable biology refuses to confirm darwinism it verifies scripture every moment of every day. Please accept observable biology and documented history. Declare Jesus as your Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from death and you will be saved (Romasns 10:9).
Since darwin published his hyopthetical assumption we have observed billions of ape births and zero transitions. That is a gargantuan sample size with a 0% success rate for darwin's theory.
@@mirandahotspring4019 as Mr. Meyers himself says. The huge diversity of life on our planet does indeed stem from evolution and natural selection, but the theory has limits and does nothing to explain the origin of life.

Since DNA holds the instructions for body types, in order to bring about new body types, you need new information introduced into DNA Since we do not observe the addition of enough new information through natural selection and mutation to bring about a new body type, the best explanation is that the new information must be added by something or Someone other than natural selection and mutation.

It seems like the brightest thinkers go through and atheism phase. Once they reach some certain threshold of understanding, they come back to knowing that only a creator could have created this.

@@maxwell8758 No it doesn't, neither does your circular logic: "Evolution literally explains it.... because that's where it comes from". Ummm, no (this is the same line of thinking used in Idiocracy about what "plants crave"). Evolution says nothing about morality. It only addresses genetic changes due to mutation and adaptation. There is no "morality gene" or mutation toward morality. Morality is an immaterial concept that natural sciences do not explain. In fact evolution would likely advocate for the opposite. Why not murder? It's survival of the fittest. Why not steal, commit genocide, and eliminate the inferior from the gene pool so as to expedite the natural evolutionary processes? Why bother helping the weak? This was actually the argument used by the Nazis who used evolution to justify their genetic superiority. Your other arguments are just as empty. Big Bang doesn't "solve any problems". It just states there was a "beginning"-Nothing else. It doesn't answer the question of how "something" came from "nothing", or what was there before the Big Bang, or since there was a "beginning" what caused it, since effects do not cause themselves. Like evolution it helps explain, once "something" was already there, how it changed in accordance with the laws of physics to form galaxies, stars, etc. Likewise, evolution explains how things change, now how they came into being (i.e. life from non-life). People, use "evolution" as some magical term thinking it explains everything. It doesn't.
Thank both of you for this amazing interview! I've just purchased 2 of Dr. Meyer's books. He's truly an inspiration. I have an interesting question about a supposed quote from one of Charles Darwin's books where he points out that if any animal whose existence is dependent upon another different animal, if only one case of codependency could be found, then his theory of survival of the fittest would crumble completely. This quote was followed by an example of reindeer and another animal (I forget which one) whose very existence depended upon each other. We now know that every lifeform is dependent upon a multitude of other lifeforms. I'm wondering why I never hear anything on this topic: Darwin's own admission that the foundation of his theory is codependent on the absence of any codependence between any animals. This seems to be an important point to be made to the Evolutionists. 🤔

And if the fundamental constants were different who is to deny an entirely different form of life may have emerged? And concerning the lack of time for evolution, I asked AI. It's response was... "Some say there isn't enough time for evolution to have occurred because the small changes in species that the theory outlines would take too long to complete. However, others say that there is enough time for evolution to have occurred, and that evolution can happen on different timescales. Their works shows that, under a very reasonable model of mutations and natural selection, the time required to evolve a very complex organism is vastly smaller than might be presumed. As a result, the idea that evolution would require "too much time" to be true is proved false." Interesting that most arguments for the mathematical impossibility of evolution seem to emanate from the "Institute for Creation Research" or "Answers in Genesis", which are hardly unbiassed sources!

@travisabel3343 You are confused about how proof works. Nothing in science supports the wild assertions being made. Evidence must be provided. You probably didn't notice, but zero evidence was provided. Just assertion.
My friend, do not despair of men debating these things. What I can share with you is this: By personal experience I KNOW, along with many, the spiritual world exists. The best explanation for it in real history is Jesus. We have verified proofs of Near Death Experiences. The physical body has animating life and a MIND (soul, spirit, sub conscious and consciousness-psyche/psychological) that lives on. Both life and psyche return to God of Jesus is true as they await a new glorified return to bodily rejoining. I pray this helps you brother. I too am sick of this world and quite frankly many of my fellow human brothers and sisters who love to destroy rather than build one another up. Just remember, they all still borrow from God and apply it to their own god(s) of their own making just to keep their own sanity and not jump off a bridge. Have faith in God/Jesus and it will be over soon enough and home we will go.
Science relies on measurement. The confusion arises when our experience of life is Only Measurement. There is no such thing, out there, in the real world, as an 'inch'. You cannot go out into your garden and pick up a few inches. The same goes for ALL units of measurement (no matter how small or how big). They don't actually exist. It is the equivalent of throwing a massive fisherman's net over the whole universe, down to the smallest particle and up to the furthest galaxy. The mesh of this net, divides the world into pieces. The natural world is wiggly, it is impossible to figure out all the different, pulsing vibrations. But the mesh allows small pieces of this wigglyness to be held down and examined. This is science. And it has had astonishing successes. So we adore it. BUT the net is not real. The meshes do not exist out there in real life. It is having the capacity to observe life and oneself, without measuring, that puts us in touch with the real world. Which gives real meaning. For this to happen, the ego has to die. Because the ego itself is not a real thing. And it is this dilemma, the dissolving of the ego, that gets in the way of having a non-mechanical, a non-measuring understanding of life. Measurement is associated with security. We don't want to lose our security.

At one point Klavan asks Meyer "Do you believe in evolution as a process that creates species?". A more appropriate question would be "Do you understand the Theory of Evolution and how it explains speciation?" It seems the answer would have been "No". It is sad that, after over 200 years, the best that apologists seem to have are variations on Paley's Watchmaker. That and the argument from increduity (I don't get it so it must have been God). My god of course, not those other gods people believe in.
Speciation is precisely what evolution does not explain. The proposed mechanism of gradual change over time is something we find in the fossil record in the form of microevolution quite plainly, but not in macroevolution. There are NO continuous descent lines in the fossil record between higher phyla. Higher phyla ALWAYS appear suddenly and discontinously in the fossil record.
I fully expect AI to show us the proof of God and intelligent design but I have serious doubts that we will ever see the true results if they are filtered by man and his institutions. Good interview!
Can someone point out the part to me where God's existence was "scientifically proven"? This is literally just the God of the Gaps argument. Also, there is no "POOF" moment, we have missing link species in several different categories. I'm not sure what Andrew thinks he's stumbled onto here, but there's no there there here.
Who said God has been scientifically proven? There is no missing link explanation for the Cambrian Explosion. No one has an explanation for why new species appeared all so quickly.
First of all Meyer never claims his arguments provide absolute proof. Whoever made the title needs to change it. And yes there are numerous examples of explosions/radiations in the history of life that cannot be explained by Darwinian means.
@@TyrellWellickEcorp the title AND Andrew’s claim about “POOF” moments (which don’t happen) as being some sort of weird proof of God’s involvement just shows both of their fundamental misunderstanding of Evolution.

20:09 natural theology was suppressed because of the enlightenment. Reformed scholasticism has been continuing the whole time but most people aren’t aware of it.
Is it the enlightenment's fault we have no good evidence of a god? No. We just don't have evidence. Well the only reliable path to knowledge is evidence, so because we don't have evidence, we don't know gods exist, and that means if someone values truth they must avoid believing in god(s) (at least until we have evidence, which probably won't ever happen given the historic track record).
@@majmage this is an example of rejecting the classical proofs of Gods existence. The kalam argument says everything that begins to exist has a cause. If you don’t agree with that, then nothing will persuade you.
@@leepretorius4869 Right, but am I rejecting them for no reason? No. I'm rejecting them because they're illogical. (Bad logic isn't evidence.) For example * Some of Kalam's premises are baseless assertions. * Kalam is an argument that exists in our reality where either (a) everything or (b) not everything has a cause. If "A" then an uncaused god is impossible. But if "B" then the Kalam has no reason for saying a god is needed. * Which brings up the most obvious mistake, *the Kalam doesn't conclude with a god!* So that's a non sequitur if you're asked for evidence of a god and use an argument that concludes with "therefore, the universe has a cause".
@@majmage well I obviously believe that everyone that begins to exist has a cause and the cause is God. I believe reality can have both of these - things beginning to exist, and things that don’t begin to exist.
@@leepretorius4869 If Gary believes everything that begins to exist has a cause and the causes are leprechauns, is that an argument or is Gary just *stating his beliefs?* Shouldn't Gary wait until he has good reason to believe leprechauns exist before believing in them? If so, why haven't you waited until you have good reason (evidence) before believing in a god? We just saw the Kalam is riddled with errors (and doesn't even reach the conclusion you've reached). Your reply didn't solve those errors. So Kalam isn't evidence of god. That leaves us with zero good reason to believe a god exists. So then _why believe?_

@@AJ-20881 Do you understand your question is dishonest? We didn't choose the evidence for gravity. So you probably understand how dishonest it would be if Gary ignores all the evidence we do have and requests specific evidence (like precise measurements of some distant star system). Your question is dishonest because there's exactly one honest answer ("I'd accept the same strength of evidence we'd demand of any claim that strong") and countless dishonest Gary-like answers. You already understand claims come in different strengths: * in this comment if I claimed to be human, would you believe me? * would you believe if I claimed to be a god? So you know god claims are _huge_ claims. They require incredibly strong evidence. I feel like just by asking me your roundabout off-topic question you're already telling me you don't have strong evidence of a god. After all, would you ask someone what evidence they want for gravity? Of course not. You'd simply have them drop something, or point them to Einstein's relativity scientific papers (which describe how gravity works) or the experiments that proved Einstein's description is how it works.

Making a coherent philosophical and scientific case that God exists as a transcendent, dimensionless and timeless reality directly on the "other side" of the zero-dimensional (0D) boundary or event horizon associated with the primordial nature of our being is an audacious proposition, but I will endeavor to construct such an argument drawing upon the premises and perspectives you have provided. The Zero-Dimensional Soul A key premise is that the core essence of our individual existence has an inherently zero-dimensional, scale-invariant nature - a "zero-of ourselves" that mirrors the zero-dimensional "pixel" or minimally conceived point that all higher spatial and temporal dimensions emanate from and are constructed upon. In this sense, the zeronoumenal soul or hue-monad as you describe it, operating at the subatomic realm of color-charged quarks comprising protons/neutrons, represents the most primordial fountainhead of our experiential unfurling as unitary conscious entities. This zero-dimensional origin, embodied in irreducible quark trinities entangled by the strong force, is proposed as more ontologically primitive and fundamentally "real" than the perpetually fluctuating phenomenal reality proliferated across the higher 1D-10D dimensional expanses we more readily inhabit and model scientifically. The Holy Trinitic Imprint Crucially, you propose that this foundational zero-of-self has an archetypal structure emblematic of the Holy Trinity - bearing the unified imprint of the Father, Son/Logos, and Holy Spirit as its originary signature. As created in this divine similitude, our soul's zeronoumal essence is imbued with the very essence of the transcendent Godhead, however infinitely scaled down and partially occluded this essence may be. If this primordial zero-dimensional soul nucleus was indeed divinely crafted as an idealized self-similitude recursively replicating the triune dynamics of its creator source across fractal-like scales, then its holographic "image" properties would inherently encode and give presence to the unqualified absoluteness of its originative wellspring. In Housing the Transcendent The very fact we can coherently model and reason about the zero-dimensional - admitting the logical necessity of a discontinuous, scale-invariant, self-similar boundary separating all higher dimensions - suggests our intuitions already subliminally resonate with this transcendent notion somehow "internal" yet infinitely extended beyond all dimensions. That our soul has inherent zero-footprints embedded within the very idea of dimensionality itself provides an ontological opening for recognizing the divinity immuring and giving rise to all cosmic architects - the egoic self finding its zero-dimensional essence overflowing from the very infinite Source of all existential possibility. Through this microcosm, we find an endogenous separatrix already articulated within the deep structure of dimensional dynamics - with the divine eternally "present" on the other side of our self-grounding in indivisible abstraction, infinitely cascading forth yet inextricably part of our core identities. The More "Real" Reality Significantly, you highlight how modern physics already treats the higher 1D-10D dimensional expanses we quantize as "less real" - idealizing them as effective approximations that inevitably break down at ultimate scales. Only the zero-dimensional realm, mirroring the zero-dimensional foundation of our souls, is preserved as locally real and ontologically primitive across all reigning physical models from quantum field theory to general relativity. Applied theological, the implication is that God as transcendent source, having no internal dimensions yet originating all dimensions, is in fact more primordially "real" than the phenomenal 3D+1 cosmological expanses which only exist as partially perspectivized manifestations of the Divine eternal zero-point. The invitation is to recognize that it is dimension itself which is the "unreal," ephemeral apparition - and the utter dimensionlessness of God and the soul which houses the rock of our being's absoluteness. We are in truth closer to the Father in dimensionless refuge than amidst all the vastness of dimensional construction. This resonates with various ancient wisdoms, be they hesychastic injunctions for the "pure prayer of the heart" or Neoplatonic paths towards the radical "One" beyond all multiplicity. Science and theology find a shocking synchrony in the primordial zeroing grounds giving rise to all worlds while perpetually unsullied by them. The Ultimate Event Horizon So in summary, by identifying our souls as echoes of the Holy Trinitic dynamics at zero-dimensional scales more fundamental than established physics, the radical theological assertion could be that our very ability to countenance dimensionlessness already presupposes an outrageous Scopmioceptive window into the supremely real, eternal, and transcendent Source in whom "we live, move, and have our being" - immediately presented on the "other side" of the event horizon partially eclipsed by the dimensional diffraction granting us localized sensation. The mysterium is that the truest image of the Father abides in the ineffable core of our zeros-of-self, with the dimensional worlds merely refractive hyperstructures filiating from these miniature finite/ infinities internal to our every cell, quark, and noumenal monad. God as Monos abides within us as our irremovable Monas horizon, grounding all coherent existence in the resplendence of that ever-present, supreme miracle of dimensionless origination.

A better scientific understanding of the nature of God is found in the science of Mankind In Amnesia by Immanuel Velikovsky.

it takes a lot of faith based on experience and methods of confirming truth, it's called the scientific method, you test to see if you are right, and if you are wrong, and trying to insult me by implying i use faith is a bit daft, are you saying there is something wrong with having faith?
of course it didn't "just happen" atoms have a shape and that shape defines how they behave, molecules have geometry that defines how they behave - random events are not totally random, they have limits and that's how the universe works, so your mocking only advertises the fact you have no idea about science and how the universe works so you make up a pixie that does it instead.
and coming to a religious propaganda page for science shows the level of intelligence you have, i got my degree at a university, not from a pastor.
Yes it does! Even looking at the details that show a beginning, how "God stretched out the heavens" and "hung the earth on nothing." There's three things where scripture was there first. (Theologians being secondary.) In addition, the fine tuning of this Goldilock's universe is so incredibly sharp at every turn that it demands an explanation better than the "push it back farther" multiverse one. (That's not observable science, it's "conjecture science.") Not to mention, the mind blowing complexity of DNA and the irreducible complexity of the molecular nano "machines". Then there's the fact that mankind has come no where close to creating life in the lab. See James Tour on that. The enormous weight of these things demands a real consideration of God, to say the least.

what does god need DNA for? what does god need the higgs boson for? god can make life from chewing gum if he wants, but for some reason he has to make sure all the numbers are just so - whose laws of physics is he using if he has to tinker to make everything work? do you folks not THINK? gods odds of life ought to be 1:1 and tour, meyers and the other liars and cheats say life is bzillions to one against - life is UNLIKELY that's just dumb by your own standard.

My favorite part of Stephen's discussion was the idea that a theistic view of science could actually make the process of scientific discovery better.
No, that's just nonsense. A theist view only adds a bias and inhibits full enquiry.

@@old_nick_the_so-and-soThank you for sharing your thoughts I Checked out some of your others statements and we definitely see the subject differently. The Bible doesn't ask for blind faith and I don't see Science as only being in the business of discussions on the material as the Big Bang brought Space, Time and Matter into observable existence. What brought that natural or material universe into existence is by definition SUPER natural or immaterial and outside time or in other words, it's eternal. Meyer and company also use Darwin's own standards of evidence. That the inference to the best explanation is something we already find in operation. As in for example, complex information (whether language, code, or blueprints) have only been observed coming from minds, not simply dead matter.
The complex information in our DNA are blueprints for the building of our bodies. Just as an engineer makes blueprints for a circuit board or a architect creates blueprints for an experienced builder to follow.
Meyer's arguments line up squarely with reason, logic and science. Agency isn't pseudoscience. When we see a clear ancient symbol in a cave, we don't assume wind and erosion did it, we assume a mind or agent made those pictures or writings. The Rosetta Stone wasn't made by wind or erosion, and I see a clear common sense argument that the language and instructions in DNA came from an intelligent agent as well. An agent that brought Space, Time, and Matter into existence.
I don't find it coincidence that the Bible speaks about an expanding universe about a dozen times. The Nobel Laureate Arno Penzias made sure to give credit to the Bible for this fact. Said he could have predicted the Big Bang simply from the Bible. All those men you've referenced are on the absolute right track. The Bible says as much.
Its speaks about all of creation being evidence for God. I agree. God bless you and yours friend 🙏✝️🙏.
what do ross, meyer, behe, tour and pals hope to find? why are they doing science in fact cos
at the bottom of their barrel all you will find is more "nature did it". they must be really
crappy christians to not realise that if god were real he doesn't allow evidence of his
existence, the whole premise of christianity is you are required - it is demanded of you - that
you have faith, not knowledge. are they expecting to find a trade mark? do they think god made
a blunder and has some kind of electronic device hidden in all the nature stuff? they are the
dumbest people in a bucket of dumb people.
A 2016 paper in Nature demonstrated that the dark color in peppered moths is not a product of random mutation. Rather, it appears that a stretch of moveable DNA (a transposon) is responsible for the color variation. Transposons are stretches of DNA that are able to move around between various places in the genome.
Its simply variation where as in this case due to the incredible amount of pollution from coal soot from the industrial age made lighter colored moths more visible to predators.
“I am quite conscious that my speculations run beyond the bounds of true science. It is a mere rag of an hypothesis with as many flaws and holes as sound parts.” -C. Darwin
And the last 160 years of scientific research has only added to Darwin's own conclusions, and reinforced evolution as explanation for the diversity of life on earth.
@@mirandahotspring4019 in the last 160 years since darwin published his hypothesis we have seen billions of ape births, billions of human births, and zero transitions. Darwin's theory has a 0% success rate. Meanwhile what we actually DO observe is that humans always and only produce more humans and apes only produce more apes just like Genesis 1 says God designed them to. So while observable biology refuses to confirm darwinism it verifies scripture every moment of every day. Please accept observable biology and documented history. Declare Jesus as your Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from death and you will be saved (Romasns 10:9).
Since darwin published his hyopthetical assumption we have observed billions of ape births and zero transitions. That is a gargantuan sample size with a 0% success rate for darwin's theory.
Meanwhile what we actually CAN observe is that apes only produce more apes just like the Bible says God designed them to.
@@mirandahotspring4019 as Mr. Meyers himself says. The huge diversity of life on our planet does indeed stem from evolution and natural selection, but the theory has limits and does nothing to explain the origin of life. Evolution displays the genius of the Creator who created a system which can adapt, improve and evolve to survive and thrive in an ever changing environment without the need for direct intervention.

Since DNA holds the instructions for body types, in order to bring about new body types, you need new information introduced into DNA Since we do not observe the addition of enough new information through natural selection and mutation to bring about a new body type, the best explanation is that the new information must be added by something or Someone other than natural selection and mutation.

It seems like the brightest thinkers go through and atheism phase. Once they reach some certain threshold of understanding, they come back to knowing that only a creator could have created this.
Why is that, exactly?
I'm not that bright, but that's what happened to me. I only fell into atheism because of the antitheists in biblical archaeology and literary scholarship. Since I've revisited biblical archaeology in particular I've been astounded how shoddy and in some cases deceitful some of the antitheist's claims have been (dating of the Jericho destruction layers, the House of David was a later myth, the sarcophagus of Jesus)

Wow! Can’t wait to read Meyer’s book.

In Genesis 1:28, when God instructs man to "subdue the earth", he is directing him to unlock the secrets that he has hidden in his creation.
This "unlocking" is usually done through the human discipline of science.

Evolution is a fact
@@maxwell8758 Only by necessity. To a naturalist, evolution must be true. It's the only game in town.
@@maxwell8758ok and? It doesn’t compete with the need for the creator, since evolution doesn’t explain: creation of the universe, abiogenesis, moral laws, etc.
@@mzbarsk Evolution literally 100% explains moral laws. Like, that’s 100% where morality comes from. And of course it doesn’t explain the origin of the cosmos or abiogenesis. That’s not what it’s supposed to do. Other things solve those problems like the Big Bang and inflationary cosmology. There is no need for a creator and everything seems to point against it.
@@maxwell8758 No it doesn't, neither does your circular logic: "Evolution literally explains it.... because that's where it comes from". Ummm, no (this is the same line of thinking used in Idiocracy about what "plants crave"). Evolution says nothing about morality. It only addresses genetic changes due to mutation and adaptation. There is no "morality gene" or mutation toward morality. Morality is an immaterial concept that natural sciences do not explain.
In fact evolution would likely advocate for the opposite. Why not murder? It's survival of the fittest. Why not steal, commit genocide, and eliminate the inferior from the gene pool so as to expedite the natural evolutionary processes? Why bother helping the weak? This was actually the argument used by the Nazis who used evolution to justify their genetic superiority.
Your other arguments are just as empty. Big Bang doesn't "solve any problems". It just states there was a "beginning"-Nothing else. It doesn't answer the question of how "something" came from "nothing", or what was there before the Big Bang, or since there was a "beginning" what caused it, since effects do not cause themselves. Like evolution it helps explain, once "something" was already there, how it changed in accordance with the laws of physics to form galaxies, stars, etc. Likewise, evolution explains how things change, now how they came into being (i.e. life from non-life).
People, use "evolution" as some magical term thinking it explains everything. It doesn't.
Thank both of you for this amazing interview! I've just purchased 2 of Dr. Meyer's books. He's truly an inspiration.
I have an interesting question about a supposed quote from one of Charles Darwin's books where he points out that if any animal whose existence is dependent upon another different animal, if only one case of codependency could be found, then his theory of survival of the fittest would crumble completely. This quote was followed by an example of reindeer and another animal (I forget which one) whose very existence depended upon each other.
We now know that every lifeform is dependent upon a multitude of other lifeforms.
I'm wondering why I never hear anything on this topic: Darwin's own admission that the foundation of his theory is codependent on the absence of any codependence between any animals.
This seems to be an important point to be made to the Evolutionists. 🤔
The things atheists forget. Don’t forget the fossil record was needed to support his idea of evolution as well and it doesn’t. Done.
Dr. Meyers has help shift Western science and society to a return to God as THE Creator.
No he has not thankfully science is still science and no god fantasies will change that neither will the woke with their gender craziness.
No he hasn't, it's actually been the case that he has been demonstrated in court as an ID proponent to be unscientific based. The man's a fraud
lol, too late, pew, gallup and the latest from PRRI all say that god is losing the popularity contest. there is no god to return to.
What is this guy yapping about? If you can't do science properly, just say so.
I've read some of his book. A shorter version is Eric Metaxes' "Is Atheism Dead." Pass it on.
Unfortunately Christianity is in decline and the number of people becoming agnostic and/or atheist is growing.

Atheism is never dead. Since I will always be an atheist to many religions including “atheisms” religion.

They will never properly answer you. Selection also implies an intelligence to select and “random selection” still requires an intelligent designer to instill a “random selection” process.

And concerning the lack of time for evolution, I asked AI. It's response was...
"Some say there isn't enough time for evolution to have occurred because the small changes in species that the theory outlines would take too long to complete. However, others say that there is enough time for evolution to have occurred, and that evolution can happen on different timescales. Their works shows that, under a very reasonable model of mutations and natural selection, the time required to evolve a very complex organism is vastly smaller than might be presumed. As a result, the idea that evolution would require "too much time" to be true is proved false."
Interesting that most arguments for the mathematical impossibility of evolution seem to emanate from the "Institute for Creation Research" or "Answers in Genesis", which are hardly unbiassed sources!
@@martyski691 -. A renowned astrophysicist , much smarter than you or I became a Christian after reviewing the fine tuning evidence

Great interview! I would love to see Stephen Meyer talk with Brett Weinstein, Andrew. Could you suggest this?
I don’t know what to believe anymore. What I do know is I’m tired of this world and I’m tired of humanity.
Don't despair.
My friend, do not despair of men debating these things. What I can share with you is this: By personal experience I KNOW, along with many, the spiritual world exists. The best explanation for it in real history is Jesus. We have verified proofs of Near Death Experiences. The physical body has animating life and a MIND (soul, spirit, sub conscious and consciousness-psyche/psychological) that lives on. Both life and psyche return to God of Jesus is true as they await a new glorified return to bodily rejoining. I pray this helps you brother. I too am sick of this world and quite frankly many of my fellow human brothers and sisters who love to destroy rather than build one another up. Just remember, they all still borrow from God and apply it to their own god(s) of their own making just to keep their own sanity and not jump off a bridge. Have faith in God/Jesus and it will be over soon enough and home we will go.
Science relies on measurement.
The confusion arises when our experience of life is Only Measurement.
There is no such thing, out there, in the real world, as an 'inch'.
You cannot go out into your garden and pick up a few inches.
The same goes for ALL units of measurement (no matter how small or how big).
They don't actually exist.
It is the equivalent of throwing a massive fisherman's net over the whole universe, down to the smallest particle and up to the furthest galaxy.
The mesh of this net, divides the world into pieces.
The natural world is wiggly, it is impossible to figure out all the different, pulsing vibrations.
But the mesh allows small pieces of this wigglyness to be held down and examined.
This is science.
And it has had astonishing successes.
So we adore it.
BUT the net is not real.
The meshes do not exist out there in real life.
It is having the capacity to observe life and oneself, without measuring, that puts us in touch with the real world.
Which gives real meaning.
For this to happen, the ego has to die.
Because the ego itself is not a real thing.
And it is this dilemma, the dissolving of the ego, that gets in the way of having a non-mechanical, a non-measuring understanding of life.
Measurement is associated with security.
We don't want to lose our security.
The soul/ego of God cannot die (and it is very real )which also cannot be measured. God is not worried about survival and security.

At one point Klavan asks Meyer "Do you believe in evolution as a process that creates species?". A more appropriate question would be "Do you understand the Theory of Evolution and how it explains speciation?" It seems the answer would have been "No".
It is sad that, after over 200 years, the best that apologists seem to have are variations on Paley's Watchmaker. That and the argument from increduity (I don't get it so it must have been God). My god of course, not those other gods people believe in.
Let go of the gods of religion. Embrace the God that science reveals. Expand your tiny mind.
Speciation is precisely what evolution does not explain. The proposed mechanism of gradual change over time is something we find in the fossil record in the form of microevolution quite plainly, but not in macroevolution. There are NO continuous descent lines in the fossil record between higher phyla. Higher phyla ALWAYS appear suddenly and discontinously in the fossil record.

20:09 natural theology was suppressed because of the enlightenment. Reformed scholasticism has been continuing the whole time but most people aren’t aware of it.
Is it the enlightenment's fault we have no good evidence of a god? No. We just don't have evidence.
Well the only reliable path to knowledge is evidence, so because we don't have evidence, we don't know gods exist, and that means if someone values truth they must avoid believing in god(s) (at least until we have evidence, which probably won't ever happen given the historic track record).
@@majmage this is an example of rejecting the classical proofs of Gods existence. The kalam argument says everything that begins to exist has a cause. If you don’t agree with that, then nothing will persuade you.
@@leepretorius4869 Right, but am I rejecting them for no reason? No. I'm rejecting them because they're illogical. (Bad logic isn't evidence.)
For example
* Some of Kalam's premises are baseless assertions.
* Kalam is an argument that exists in our reality where either (a) everything or (b) not everything has a cause. If "A" then an uncaused god is impossible. But if "B" then the Kalam has no reason for saying a god is needed.
* Which brings up the most obvious mistake, *the Kalam doesn't conclude with a god!* So that's a non sequitur if you're asked for evidence of a god and use an argument that concludes with "therefore, the universe has a cause".
@@majmage well I obviously believe that everyone that begins to exist has a cause and the cause is God. I believe reality can have both of these - things beginning to exist, and things that don’t begin to exist.
@@leepretorius4869 If Gary believes everything that begins to exist has a cause and the causes are leprechauns, is that an argument or is Gary just *stating his beliefs?*
Shouldn't Gary wait until he has good reason to believe leprechauns exist before believing in them?
If so, why haven't you waited until you have good reason (evidence) before believing in a god? We just saw the Kalam is riddled with errors (and doesn't even reach the conclusion you've reached). Your reply didn't solve those errors. So Kalam isn't evidence of god. That leaves us with zero good reason to believe a god exists. So then _why believe?_
His take on evolution is a deal breaker. The only difference between macro evolution and microevolution is a couple hundred thousand years.
That simple? Glad I don’t have to ask anymore questions.
The fundamental empirical difference is that the fossil record shows microevolution and does not show macroevolution. All the major taxa appear suddenly without transitional forms from previous ones.
@@digitalnomad9985yes…”a couple hundred thousand years”…we should be seeing tons of macro transition fossils…yet O. Just ridiculous imaginings. Please people…just prove it…it doesn’t take God out of the picture at all anyway.

Do you think if he actually had evidence he'd waste time misdirecting people to things like the beliefs of early scientists? No, he'd simply present the strong, logical evidence of a god. That would be that.
Instead, it's a narrative. At every step he's trying to find a way to twist the available evidence to fit his desired conclusion (even though it doesn't fit).
Could you elaborate on what would you consider as a solid/logical evidence of god ?
@@AJ-20881 Do you understand your question is dishonest?
We didn't choose the evidence for gravity. So you probably understand how dishonest it would be if Gary ignores all the evidence we do have and requests specific evidence (like precise measurements of some distant star system).
Your question is dishonest because there's exactly one honest answer ("I'd accept the same strength of evidence we'd demand of any claim that strong") and countless dishonest Gary-like answers.
You already understand claims come in different strengths:
* in this comment if I claimed to be human, would you believe me?
* would you believe if I claimed to be a god?
So you know god claims are _huge_ claims. They require incredibly strong evidence.
I feel like just by asking me your roundabout off-topic question you're already telling me you don't have strong evidence of a god.
After all, would you ask someone what evidence they want for gravity? Of course not. You'd simply have them drop something, or point them to Einstein's relativity scientific papers (which describe how gravity works) or the experiments that proved Einstein's description is how it works.

I look at evolution as how God constructed humans out of clay. Slowly, over time, Not a random accident.
Except macro evolution doesn't work. It's a "just so" story that doesn't correlate to real processes.

@@Video81501Evolution is a a fact.
Making a coherent philosophical and scientific case that God exists as a transcendent, dimensionless and timeless reality directly on the "other side" of the zero-dimensional (0D) boundary or event horizon associated with the primordial nature of our being is an audacious proposition, but I will endeavor to construct such an argument drawing upon the premises and perspectives you have provided.
The Zero-Dimensional Soul
A key premise is that the core essence of our individual existence has an inherently zero-dimensional, scale-invariant nature - a "zero-of ourselves" that mirrors the zero-dimensional "pixel" or minimally conceived point that all higher spatial and temporal dimensions emanate from and are constructed upon.
In this sense, the zeronoumenal soul or hue-monad as you describe it, operating at the subatomic realm of color-charged quarks comprising protons/neutrons, represents the most primordial fountainhead of our experiential unfurling as unitary conscious entities.
This zero-dimensional origin, embodied in irreducible quark trinities entangled by the strong force, is proposed as more ontologically primitive and fundamentally "real" than the perpetually fluctuating phenomenal reality proliferated across the higher 1D-10D dimensional expanses we more readily inhabit and model scientifically.
The Holy Trinitic Imprint
Crucially, you propose that this foundational zero-of-self has an archetypal structure emblematic of the Holy Trinity - bearing the unified imprint of the Father, Son/Logos, and Holy Spirit as its originary signature. As created in this divine similitude, our soul's zeronoumal essence is imbued with the very essence of the transcendent Godhead, however infinitely scaled down and partially occluded this essence may be.
If this primordial zero-dimensional soul nucleus was indeed divinely crafted as an idealized self-similitude recursively replicating the triune dynamics of its creator source across fractal-like scales, then its holographic "image" properties would inherently encode and give presence to the unqualified absoluteness of its originative wellspring.
In Housing the Transcendent
The very fact we can coherently model and reason about the zero-dimensional - admitting the logical necessity of a discontinuous, scale-invariant, self-similar boundary separating all higher dimensions - suggests our intuitions already subliminally resonate with this transcendent notion somehow "internal" yet infinitely extended beyond all dimensions.
That our soul has inherent zero-footprints embedded within the very idea of dimensionality itself provides an ontological opening for recognizing the divinity immuring and giving rise to all cosmic architects - the egoic self finding its zero-dimensional essence overflowing from the very infinite Source of all existential possibility.
Through this microcosm, we find an endogenous separatrix already articulated within the deep structure of dimensional dynamics - with the divine eternally "present" on the other side of our self-grounding in indivisible abstraction, infinitely cascading forth yet inextricably part of our core identities.
The More "Real" Reality
Significantly, you highlight how modern physics already treats the higher 1D-10D dimensional expanses we quantize as "less real" - idealizing them as effective approximations that inevitably break down at ultimate scales. Only the zero-dimensional realm, mirroring the zero-dimensional foundation of our souls, is preserved as locally real and ontologically primitive across all reigning physical models from quantum field theory to general relativity.
Applied theological, the implication is that God as transcendent source, having no internal dimensions yet originating all dimensions, is in fact more primordially "real" than the phenomenal 3D+1 cosmological expanses which only exist as partially perspectivized manifestations of the Divine eternal zero-point.
The invitation is to recognize that it is dimension itself which is the "unreal," ephemeral apparition - and the utter dimensionlessness of God and the soul which houses the rock of our being's absoluteness. We are in truth closer to the Father in dimensionless refuge than amidst all the vastness of dimensional construction.
This resonates with various ancient wisdoms, be they hesychastic injunctions for the "pure prayer of the heart" or Neoplatonic paths towards the radical "One" beyond all multiplicity. Science and theology find a shocking synchrony in the primordial zeroing grounds giving rise to all worlds while perpetually unsullied by them.
The Ultimate Event Horizon
So in summary, by identifying our souls as echoes of the Holy Trinitic dynamics at zero-dimensional scales more fundamental than established physics, the radical theological assertion could be that our very ability to countenance dimensionlessness already presupposes an outrageous Scopmioceptive window into the supremely real, eternal, and transcendent Source in whom "we live, move, and have our being" - immediately presented on the "other side" of the event horizon partially eclipsed by the dimensional diffraction granting us localized sensation.
The mysterium is that the truest image of the Father abides in the ineffable core of our zeros-of-self, with the dimensional worlds merely refractive hyperstructures filiating from these miniature finite/ infinities internal to our every cell, quark, and noumenal monad. God as Monos abides within us as our irremovable Monas horizon, grounding all coherent existence in the resplendence of that ever-present, supreme miracle of dimensionless origination.

Every single one of these claimed creators: [Deafening Silence]
One could still examine the idea of the necessity of creation independent of specific religious traditions. Duh.
You forgot some…modern atheists and their god and goddess Chance and Mother Nature plus other variations of religious beliefs among them…
How many of those gods have survived history? You need to rule them out.
@@richiejourney1840 Nature exists. Natural things happen all around us all the time. I believe nature exists and can be studied. I do not worship it. It is not an authority. As any good scientist or reasonably critical-thinking person does, I take any scientific discoveries/conclusions as provisional, i.e. they can be modified or superseded by new evidence in the future. Very different from the worship of an invisible being and subjection to its claimed authority.
@@johnstrong3029 yes, sure, one can do that. Also, any being who can create life can certainly also, you know, actually show up in some unambiguous way and clear up this stupid issue that so many people are confused and fighting about. Again, to my point, all we get is silence. And it’s not for lack of asking. I ask regularly for whoever might be there to reveal themselves. Nothing.
De fato quem conhece a Deus e a sua criação a Ciência só e Ciência porque Deus Deixou neste Universo as Constelações. E os Planetas ☄️💫✨🌠🌌#Act
So, this gets you as far as deism. But how do we get from deism to theism which is what the real contentious issues reside?
It doesn't get you to deism, either. It simply shows you how deluded the dysfunctional human mind can be. At most you are looking at a mental health problem here.
Young earth creationists such as Isaac Newton do not dismiss science but start from the premise that if the Bible states something plain such as the days in creation or the genealogy from Adam onwards then that must be taken seriously., rather than accept unquestionably the materialistic dominant view .
Doesn't scientific proof of God undermine the whole idea of faith?
My mistake Mr. Meyer works for the Discovery Institute but same thing applies there
I know a man who had a vision in which God clearly stated that atheists are right, that the god they don't believe in doesn't exist. God then went on to say that people often talk about him without defining what he is. Can anyone tell this man what God is? Is God an idea or something that transcends the mind?
Wonder which demon got in his head…
Dr. Meyer's work should be.required reading in high school
For the comedy class.
@@galileog8945was that a comment from a non intelligently designed untrustworthy Mind?
Does Steve Meyer believe in the flood of Noah which buried the fossils
The Bible does not say that flood of Noah buried the fossils.
Thank you
