intelligent design actually continues to improve on their technology. The evidence is: there are some ancient spices who never evolve in billions of years, while some species can evolve slowly and some species can evolve quickly. Intelligent design knows how to control the evolution speed.
I don't agree with the whole inference from possible hypotheses line of reasoning. We have observed earthquakes, floods, great storms and volcanic eruptions to compare the aftermaths of those events to the aftermath of Mount St. Helens. However we have never observed the inception of another universe nor have we observed the programming of DNA of an eternal being for another life form. In Washington we can call back to other similar events, but as for the big bang and (a)biogenesis on earth we have no similar events. Therefore all Meyer proposes here are his hypotheses, and they have nothing to do with scientific fact.
His hypotheses are conclusions drawn from scientific fact. Science has shown that is near impossible, and extremely implausible, that life to formed from non-life. The 'primordial soup' theory of chemical evolution (abiogenesis) is completely ridiculous at this point, and the more scientists study the area, the further they get from accomplishing their goal. Science has NEVER shown how 'instruction information' (a particular sequence of data, symbols, impulses, etc, conveyed or represented by a particular arrangement, which guides the processes of how things operate or function) can come from anything BUT a mind. Atheists constantly complain about a lack of evidence for God - but this is it, right here. Where is the evidence that information comes from anything but a mind? How did the information in DNA come to be, without a mind? How did the laws of physics, which seem to be pre-programmed into our universe, come to exist, if not from a mind? There is ZERO scientific evidence that can answer these questions without a MIND which transcends the universe itself. The evidence for God is right here in front of us. You just need to open your eyes and see it.

Enough with these suggestions that the universe is expanding. E pending into what? It must have boundaries into which it expands. This boundary is composed of what? Silly, cluless egggeads.
Doctor i want you to know your work inspires people of the abrahamic faith in every corner of the world. I have nothing greater to offer than to humbly ask of you to please study islam once in your lifetime. With an open heart. You will not find it farther from the ethics you hold dear as a christian. Infact you will find islam more "christian" than what the churches preach
Because they say there is no evidence of any Sugar Daddy God That is all this is about, right? Death can't be the end - we must live forever Not only forever but the easy lazy life - pleasures of the flesh for eternity There is a magic Sugar Daddy God & all he wants to do is keep billions of lazy people in cozy comfort for eternity! Live like prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders do shamelessly sponging off their rich Sugar Daddies and living a life of ease & comfort And all they have to do is tell their Sugar Daddies that they "love" them and sing their praises! you can do that too, right?

Consider the words of the renowned 19th century French microbiologist, Louis Pasteur: “ A little bit of science distances from God; a lot of science brings one back to Him.” - ( “Un peu de science éloigne de Dieu, beaucoup de science y ramène." )
I did have one man who was a wonderful Christian who was a teacher at my university. He stated to me and my friends that the more he learned about science the more he knew there is a God.
" *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.
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.
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.
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
This guy is my new scientist hero. I don’t see how people cannot see the design. All I have to say is the periodic table. Logical building blocks of reality.
It seems a sad thing that so many people live out their lives never thinking how the intelligent design of our world made all of our lives possible for us to experience, without ever knowing how or why. Thank God he does not require more than we can give him.
Science is an observational study of God’s creation. I.E. electron microscope, Hubble. Almost all things created by man have been made with ideas generated from the study of God’s creation. Since we are made in God’s image we too also create!
Nice update as I have not heard him speak in a couple of years. It is obvious to any person that that follows the evidence that we had a creator and still do. People choose not to accept the obvious because of their bias.
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.
I studied Darwins theory from cover to cover and one thing that nobody ever mentions but that is true is he mentioned creation, that word, many many times in his book.
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.
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".
Simple Cause and Effect. 3D printers.. They only produce the shape you want. That first starts with Mind. That produced the Code you need. To guide the process. Then a Machine\Materials to produce them. No other way around it... So it's a Top Down only solution....
Admire Stephen so much, keeps calm, is a gentleman in all his debates while others go off like firecrackers, admire his courage, what a great role model for the young, as some parts of society plunge back into the black hole of paganism and disorder!!
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?
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.
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.

"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?
I am a bit disappointed in this presentation. Having read signature in the cell and watched many, many videos from Meyer's I was very excited to see something new, but sadly this is basically the same presentation he has done dozens of times with little if any new information. I don't mind hearing it all again. I really don't. I was just hoping for some new material.
Best presentation I've ever heard on the ILLOGICAL conclusions of naturalism and Materialism. Nicely framed arguments. Can't wait for all.the silly atheists to respond with their silly hurt feelings instead of actual FACTS.
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.
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!
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.”
Science points to a transcendent mind which exists outside the universe which caused everything to exist. There is zero evidence for a naturalistic origin of the universe or of life itself.
The only problem for me related to God is the suffering, the evil , the injustice.... what the fuck is he doing...and why...babies suffering cancer, dying from starvation !!! Come on...why would he create that..
My house is an illusion. It just keeps me warm at night. It has the appearance that somebody made it, but I must be having hallucinations since I don't have a house, only a title deed that says that I do. Now either I am crazy or somebody else is. Can somebody here please help me? I just hope you are not an illusion too... sigh...
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...
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.
This writer is ignorant of the great Vedic civilization,the civilization more than 2000. Years old from whence originated science,math,medicine,pharmaceuticals,the mind sciences,astronomy and astrology yoga ,meditation,Sanskrit-the most perfect language and the mother tongue of Greek,Latin,German,Russian. That extant civilization gave freely of its knowledge ,was raped and plundered by various European countries who,even today are still searching for their origin and you write about modern science originating in medieval Europe and proof of anAbrahamic God. What a conceit!!
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”
“ Our Almighty Lord Savior Beloved Blessed Christ Father Holy Spirit “ Said “ In The Beginning “. His Truths Discernment’s “ “ There “Was “Is “ A “ BEGINNING “.
This video is from a website saying “Groundbreaking Evidence - Scientific Evidence That God Exists.”I watched the whole video. Can someone tell me at what point or time stamp the evidence was revealed? I must have missed it.
The most amazing thing to me is how God has provided us with his complete and pure word, perfectly preserved in a book that we can hold in our hands and read and study and believe! Rom 1:16; Rom 2:16; 1Cor 15:1-4; Eph 2:8-9; Eph 1:13; 2Tim 2:15-16 KJV
Well spoken but it's just based on wishful thinking. Randomness theory explains our existence. But if life is a result of determinism, than likely other intelligent life created us. An alien intelligence capable of light travel would appear god like.
Dawkins clearly never thought through what design is and how it can be recognized and properly distinguished from things which do in fact only have an appearance of design. Design is not discerned just from something looking pretty or appearing intricate or being complex. It is discerned from a purposeful arrangement of elements and purpose is detected by the performance of a function. Higher orders of design can be distinguished by how functions mesh with the performance of other functions in the same environment or - denoting an even higher level of design - in timed concert with other functions to achieve an even greater objective. Aback of all design is intent because design requires foresight. Intent and Purpose come only from a Designing Mind.
And so who designed the designer? You can't believe that a blind, unicellular creature emerged from the primordial muck and guck but a magic man with arms and legs and incredible powers just popped into existence? Hello! Where is your education, sir? Where did all this reasoning go? Where is your designer for your God?
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).
Woody Allen said "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens." Anyhow, rewinding the clock, going to the BIRTH of the universe 14 billion years ago, in a "big bang." To say hey, the universe had a beginning, so it must have had a creator, is circular logic. And then you start exploring what many cosmologists believe, and that is this: there was a universe prior to this one, part of which or the whole of which, contracted down to a point from which expansion started resulting in the universe as we know it. www.livescience.com/49958-theory-no-big-bang.html. An amazing 2007 book called "Endless Universe" revealed this same theme. www.goodreads.com/book/show/885276.Endless_Universe This fits very nicely into Hindu belief, that universes are born and universes die, to be reborn again. But not God, who IS this ever-changing universe, is timeless, ageless, and infinite. Make any shape of Play-Doh, it is still Play-Doh. As to the universe being "fine-tuned" for life, what a ridiculous statement. Our earth is and has been, but not any other planets, and surely not the sun or stars which are so furiously hot that life cannot even form there. As to "intelligent" design, surely the "designer" was either drunk or on drugs. From the earliest days, fish and mammals have to feed on life to survive. If you see a tiger killing and tearing up an innocent deer, you'll question the idea of an "intelligent designer." Whereas Hinduism has a hint of an answer: like innumerable sparks that fly off a blazing fire, so are we, (living beings) sparks from the fire that is God. But unfortunately, many of the sparks took the easy way out and decided they had to feed off other sparks whereas some sparks (think plants with their chlorophyll) decided they could just live off the energy of the sun! Sure this is just a hint of an answer; nobody knows the whole story! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_cosmology And as to the biblical age of the earth, as having been created out of nothing in 4004 BCE, that is myth. Fascinating myth, but myth all the same. Maybe it is just Hindu myth that the universe is 4.32 billion year life-span. Humanity needs to use its God-given brains and keep exploring.
A brave new world of post-materialism is already in its infancy. For at least a century now, we have begun to realize, through the counter-positivistic findings of astronomy, quantum mechanics and biology, that the universe is way weirder and more mysterious than science could have fathomed. Standard 19th century descriptions of a hard cold empty random indifferent universe simply do not match mathematical interpretations of reality as it is. The system is just too unique and fine-tuned to be random, matter could not come together in growing complexity and agency were it not somehow designed to. Yes, Darwin was insufficiently accurate, as he knew. As was Einstein. And most definitely Dawkins. The information codified in and flowing between us through our shared experiences and their resulting mental phenomena are metaphysical: they mirror the superstructure of the universe. What happens is full of transcendental value, it's always some kind of lesson. We are not mere accidents. An intelligent designer of some kind is at constant play in the very fabric of existence. Whether you (like most oriental philosophies) believe God (Brahma, Atman, Self) to be the ultimate intelligent dimension of reality itself (Pantheism) or an outsider (transcendental creator and conductor, Theism), that is another (possibly intangible) question altogether. What we all can’t escape is a collective realization of a natural moral law we all must align with and converge, like Tao, Dharma, or an evolving universal (as in “catholic”, or Bahá'í) religion. But in any case, we are bound to return to a common sense of the universe and our lives as full of meaning, wisdom and purpose. Mankind is bound to reassert itself in the role of beholder (God's most accomplished disciple this side of the galaxy) of the beauty and inexorable metalogic übercausality of all things. Let's take a step back so to leap forward to a (very scientific) humanistic or spiritualistic cultural framework of wonder and reverence instead of nihilism, decadence and never so silent despair...

Physics is the study of "Properties of Matter" whereas Science is the study of "The whole of Universe" where both of those entities are the creation of "Almighty All Knowing God".
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.
he is choosing the simplest themes! Is there any soul? what happens after death? Does the God, if he exists, influence the human lives? If so why are there many injustices? Try to read the Bible, page by page, including the atrocities committed by the Jews when crossing the Jordan. The Jewish God seemed to have approved of the killings. MOreover, the God gives away to the Jews the lands of other peoples. Very strange. So I would split the notions of the God, religions and the church (es).
I validate, for the physical non-observation and the improbabilities of math, possible to explain how the Maillard reaction and entropy for chemistry and physics please
If Richard Dawkins is right that all life was created without intelligence, then we could all take the books that contain his name and put ours there as he could not possibly be the author! How could he claim plagiarism ? We could take all of his books scramble the text and relabel them and give credit with his name to assert random selection. How could he justify a complaint of misrepresentation, or seek repudiation when only nonsense is produced, as its production would be based on his assumptions.
If we stop using the word "God" and substituted a Creator which is not a thinking mind but a form of Energy which created our Observable Universe. Just saying?
Science is a tool for understanding a God. It's a shame some let 'intelligently designed' 😂devils, sin and other hocus pocus get in the way of nature, our origins, evolution, and scientific discovery.
Who would have thought that Einstein’s belief in God led to his realization that he was wrong or his openness to humility which would let him see his mistake would lead him to discovery. Atheists today lack this open mindedness.
The problem is that the wrong questions are being asked. Step out of the realm of materialism...and until that is done....science will continue to stagnate and struggle with the same old fundamental questions. Its gets really boring when science continues to chase their tails looking for answers in the wrong places. 👎👎
Stephen Meyer is so eloquent, it's like listening to a master musician playing his musical instrument. I could listen to him for hours!
I agree DL

I don't agree with the whole inference from possible hypotheses line of reasoning. We have observed earthquakes, floods, great storms and volcanic eruptions to compare the aftermaths of those events to the aftermath of Mount St. Helens.

Thank you so much Stephen Meyer, this is infinitely better than watching the mind numbing thing called T.V.
Nice update as I have not heard him speak in a couple of years. It is obvious to any person that that follows the evidence that we had a creator and still do. People choose not to accept the obvious because of their bias.
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.
What an excellent speaker , explaining everything so well.
Those that understand*never* explain,while those that do *not* understand*cannot_help* explaining
I studied Darwins theory from cover to cover and one thing that nobody ever mentions but that is true is he mentioned creation, that word, many many times in his book.
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.
God bless you Stephen Meyer.
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".

“Biology is the study of living things that appear

Stephen Meyer is brilliant as always. One of the greatest thinkers of our times.
LoooL hilarious!!
Simple Cause and Effect. 3D printers.. They only produce the shape you want. That first starts with Mind. That produced the Code you need. To guide the process. Then a Machine\Materials to produce them. No other way around it... So it's a Top Down only solution....
Admire Stephen so much, keeps calm, is a gentleman in all his debates while others go off like firecrackers, admire his courage, what a great role model for the young, as some parts of society plunge back into the black hole of paganism and disorder!!
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?
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.
Only the willfully stupid deny the creation.
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.

Thank God for "Return of the God Hypothesis." The failure to consider the Laws of Nature as inseparable from the Laws of Nature's God in proper scientific research and application is destroying society.

When you say "Thank God for return of God Hypothesis" what cosmic intelligence do you have in mind? Surely not the god of the Isralities?
@@edwardlongfellow5819 Who else?
Thank God for smart people like Stephen Meyer.💪🏾✌🏾👍🏾
Can you demonstrate this 'god' claim exists ?
So, we as students came up with the same question Stephen Meyer was thinking of and no one cared 30 years ago, lol. @ 50:15 minutes...
"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?
I am a bit disappointed in this presentation. Having read signature in the cell and watched many, many videos from Meyer's I was very excited to see something new, but sadly this is basically the same presentation he has done dozens of times with little if any new information. I don't mind hearing it all again. I really don't. I was just hoping for some new material.
Spirit of the living god be with us always.
Debate Dawkins
Best presentation I've ever heard on the ILLOGICAL conclusions of naturalism and Materialism. Nicely framed arguments. Can't wait for all.the silly atheists to respond with their silly hurt feelings instead of actual FACTS.
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.
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!
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.”
You can have your own opinions,
but not your own facts.
Why would science point to the campfire tales of nomadic Bronze age goat herders?
Science points to a transcendent mind which exists outside the universe which caused everything to exist. There is zero evidence for a naturalistic origin of the universe or of life itself.
It doesn't.
The only problem for me related to God is the suffering, the evil , the injustice.... what the fuck is he doing...and why...babies suffering cancer, dying from starvation !!! Come on...why would he create that..
My house is an illusion. It just keeps me warm at night. It has the appearance that somebody made it, but I must be having hallucinations since I don't have a house, only a title deed that says that I do. Now either I am crazy or somebody else is. Can somebody here please help me? I just hope you are not an illusion too... sigh...
The legend that is Dr Stephen Meyer
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...
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.
"The New Atheists", would that there was SOMETHING new in what they are saying.
This writer is ignorant of the great Vedic civilization,the civilization more than 2000. Years old from whence originated science,math,medicine,pharmaceuticals,the mind sciences,astronomy and astrology yoga ,meditation,Sanskrit-the most perfect language and the mother tongue of Greek,Latin,German,Russian.
That extant civilization gave freely of its knowledge ,was raped and plundered by various European countries who,even today are still searching for their origin and you write about modern science originating in medieval Europe and proof of anAbrahamic God.
What a conceit!!
20,000.years old.
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”
God Bless

This video is from a website saying “Groundbreaking Evidence - Scientific Evidence That God Exists.”I watched the whole video. Can someone tell me at what point or time stamp the evidence was revealed? I must have missed it.
I think you need to work on your epistemology. He presented plenty of evidence, it just wasn’t the kind you’re looking for.
The most amazing thing to me is how God has provided us with his complete and pure word, perfectly preserved in a book that we can hold in our hands and read and study and believe!
Rom 1:16; Rom 2:16; 1Cor 15:1-4; Eph 2:8-9; Eph 1:13; 2Tim 2:15-16 KJV
Well spoken but it's just based on wishful thinking. Randomness theory explains our existence. But if life is a result of determinism, than likely other intelligent life created us. An alien intelligence capable of light travel would appear god like.
This is invoking something even less likely, logically that is, than God to try and avoid theism. This doesn’t even scrape the sides of the issue.
This man makes me want to bow down to God
God wants you to investigate and research so you can see He is real. Blessings
Dr. Meyer called the Kalam cosmological argument when Aristotle's unmoved mover argument is another cosmological one.
The Old Testament address atheism. That is why the book of Esther does not mention the name of God.
Dawkins clearly never thought through what design is and how it can be recognized and properly distinguished from things which do in fact only have an appearance of design.
Design is not discerned just from something looking pretty or appearing intricate or being complex.
It is discerned from a purposeful arrangement of elements and purpose is detected by the performance of a function.
Higher orders of design can be distinguished by how functions mesh with the performance of other functions in the same environment or - denoting an even higher level of design - in timed concert with other functions to achieve an even greater objective.
Aback of all design is intent because design requires foresight.
Intent and Purpose come only from a Designing Mind.
And so who designed the designer? You can't believe that a blind, unicellular creature emerged from the primordial muck and guck but a magic man with arms and legs and incredible powers just popped into existence? Hello!
Where is your education, sir? Where did all this reasoning go?
Where is your designer for your God?
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).
Disease, evil, suffering are all from the degradation of God's creation...
Woody Allen said "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens." Anyhow, rewinding the clock, going to the BIRTH of the universe 14 billion years ago, in a "big bang." To say hey, the universe had a beginning, so it must have had a creator, is circular logic. And then you start exploring what many cosmologists believe, and that is this: there was a universe prior to this one, part of which or the whole of which, contracted down to a point from which expansion started resulting in the universe as we know it. www.livescience.com/49958-theory-no-big-bang.html. An amazing 2007 book called "Endless Universe" revealed this same theme. www.goodreads.com/book/show/885276.Endless_Universe This fits very nicely into Hindu belief, that universes are born and universes die, to be reborn again. But not God, who IS this ever-changing universe, is timeless, ageless, and infinite. Make any shape of Play-Doh, it is still Play-Doh.
As to the universe being "fine-tuned" for life, what a ridiculous statement. Our earth is and has been, but not any other planets, and surely not the sun or stars which are so furiously hot that life cannot even form there.
As to "intelligent" design, surely the "designer" was either drunk or on drugs. From the earliest days, fish and mammals have to feed on life to survive. If you see a tiger killing and tearing up an innocent deer, you'll question the idea of an "intelligent designer." Whereas Hinduism has a hint of an answer: like innumerable sparks that fly off a blazing fire, so are we, (living beings) sparks from the fire that is God. But unfortunately, many of the sparks took the easy way out and decided they had to feed off other sparks whereas some sparks (think plants with their chlorophyll) decided they could just live off the energy of the sun! Sure this is just a hint of an answer; nobody knows the whole story! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_cosmology
And as to the biblical age of the earth, as having been created out of nothing in 4004 BCE, that is myth. Fascinating myth, but myth all the same. Maybe it is just Hindu myth that the universe is 4.32 billion year life-span. Humanity needs to use its God-given brains and keep exploring.
Principia was NOT one of the greatest works of physics ever written it was THE greatest work of physics ever written.
A brave new world of post-materialism is already in its infancy. For at least a century now, we have begun to realize, through the counter-positivistic findings of astronomy, quantum mechanics and biology, that the universe is way weirder and more mysterious than science could have fathomed. Standard 19th century descriptions of a hard cold empty random indifferent universe simply do not match mathematical interpretations of reality as it is. The system is just too unique and fine-tuned to be random, matter could not come together in growing complexity and agency were it not somehow designed to. Yes, Darwin was insufficiently accurate, as he knew. As was Einstein. And most definitely Dawkins.
The information codified in and flowing between us through our shared experiences and their resulting mental phenomena are metaphysical: they mirror the superstructure of the universe. What happens is full of transcendental value, it's always some kind of lesson. We are not mere accidents. An intelligent designer of some kind is at constant play in the very fabric of existence. Whether you (like most oriental philosophies) believe God (Brahma, Atman, Self) to be the ultimate intelligent dimension of reality itself (Pantheism) or an outsider (transcendental creator and conductor, Theism), that is another (possibly intangible) question altogether. What we all can’t escape is a collective realization of a natural moral law we all must align with and converge, like Tao, Dharma, or an evolving universal (as in “catholic”, or Bahá'í) religion. But in any case, we are bound to return to a common sense of the universe and our lives as full of meaning, wisdom and purpose.
Mankind is bound to reassert itself in the role of beholder (God's most accomplished disciple this side of the galaxy) of the beauty and inexorable metalogic übercausality of all things. Let's take a step back so to leap forward to a (very scientific) humanistic or spiritualistic cultural framework of wonder and reverence instead of nihilism, decadence and never so silent despair...

Physics is the study of "Properties of Matter" whereas Science is the study of "The whole of Universe" where both of those entities are the creation of "Almighty All Knowing God".
I have listened to this before. Very interesting and intelligently explained.
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.
All WE have to do is Look up Into The night SKY 🤗🙏👋🙏❤️🌈,, And That tells us That It was Created by a very Powerful and Intelligent 🧠 Being!!!👈👈👈👈👈
DON'T need science. Need logic. To think there isn't a source of creation or a substrate is a HUGE fallacy!
he is choosing the simplest themes! Is there any soul? what happens after death? Does the God, if he exists, influence the human lives? If so why are there many injustices? Try to read the Bible, page by page, including the atrocities committed by the Jews when crossing the Jordan. The Jewish God seemed to have approved of the killings. MOreover, the God gives away to the Jews the lands of other peoples. Very strange. So I would split the notions of the God, religions and the church (es).
Abiogenesis is physically impossible, mathematically (zero probability) and chemically (Maillard reaction) and physically (entropy)
I validate, for the physical non-observation and the improbabilities of math, possible to explain how the Maillard reaction and entropy for chemistry and physics please
If Richard Dawkins is right that all life was created without intelligence, then we could all take the books that contain his name and put ours there as he could not possibly be the author! How could he claim plagiarism ?
We could take all of his books scramble the text and relabel them and give credit with his name to assert random selection. How could he justify a complaint of misrepresentation, or seek repudiation when only nonsense is produced, as its production would be based on his assumptions.
Without watching:
If "Science" does not point to God, then 'Science' needs to double- and triple-check its math.
If we stop using the word "God" and substituted a Creator which is not a thinking mind but a form of Energy which created our Observable Universe. Just saying?
What Sience cant explain, is God. Siencetist is looking for God without Even knowing it
Science is a tool for understanding a God. It's a shame some let 'intelligently designed' 😂devils, sin and other hocus pocus get in the way of nature, our origins, evolution, and scientific discovery.
Who would have thought that Einstein’s belief in God led to his realization that he was wrong or his openness to humility which would let him see his mistake would lead him to discovery. Atheists today lack this open mindedness.
Just a note to Christians. You must accept by faith. Those who require 'evidence' to reinforce their faith will not be going to heaven.
The problem is that the wrong questions are being asked. Step out of the realm of materialism...and until that is done....science will continue to stagnate and struggle with the same old fundamental questions. Its gets really boring when science continues to chase their tails looking for answers in the wrong places. 👎👎
