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

Men reject the knowledge of God, for their deeds are evil...
Stephen Meyer is so eloquent, it's like listening to a master musician playing his musical instrument. I could listen to him for hours!

And then we will get to sit around and sponge off God for eternity! Live like prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders do shamelessly sponging off their rich Sugar Daddies, living a life of ease & comfort These Sugar Daddies view their prostitutes/leeches with contempt and disgust! amazing that no theist can understand that God too views them with disgust & contempt!
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.
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.
May God bless you and give you light in your heart to embrace the ultimate truth.
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.
Stephen Meyer is brilliant as always. One of the greatest thinkers of our times.

God bless you Stephen Meyer.
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.”
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." )
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
Thank you so much Stephen Meyer, this is infinitely better than watching the mind numbing thing called T.V.
The legend that is Dr Stephen Meyer
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.
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.
Spirit of the living god be with us always.
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.
If you like Stephen, listen to James Tour on Orgin of life on you tube.
Evil prevails when good men remain silent
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?
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.
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.
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!

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

" *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.
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.
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”
I have listened to this before. Very interesting and intelligently explained.
Awesome!

“ Our Almighty Lord Savior Beloved Blessed Christ Father Holy Spirit “ Said “ In The Beginning “. His Truths Discernment’s “ “ There “Was “Is “ A “ BEGINNING “.
Dr. Meyer called the Kalam cosmological argument when Aristotle's unmoved mover argument is another cosmological one.
Not to mention music, art, love...
"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?
Principia was NOT one of the greatest works of physics ever written it was THE greatest work of physics ever written.
Thank you
God gave you a great mind thank you for sharing
Hallelujah
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.
This is a great lecture.
Viva Meyer and Behe.
The whole existence is just one energy manifest itself on millions different ways...we are all that energy and we creating non stop.
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".
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).
With consilience there is room both for hard rationalism and faith.
Amazing
Please keep it simple as it has all been said before.
Wow!
Meyer mops the floor with the new darwinists, again!
How Richard Dawkins made me a Christian. “Biology is the study of living things that appear Designed”
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...
"Son you don't need a world view, you need a job." This has never been more relevant.
When in the video or what was the quote of Richard Dawkins concerning his worldview?

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....
Great lecture, Dr. Meyer at his best at work expanding information and knowledge to the masses that are in desperate need. He destroys the arguments for the material view of life that dominate the world view for many decades and propose a new view called the ID or intelligent design which is gaining lots of tractions. Great science class.

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? And these rich Sugar Daddies view their prostitutes/leeches with contempt and Disgust! But God will love us, right?

Mind boggling.
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 think you need to work on your epistemology. He presented plenty of evidence, it just wasn’t the kind you’re looking for.
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".
Can you add subtitles in Turkish
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.
"The New Atheists", would that there was SOMETHING new in what they are saying.

I am reading "Darwin's Doubt" and I'm hoping that someone can answer this question. How does one do a molecular study on a fossil that's been dead millions of years?
Yup
I’m not surprised there are no evolutionist commentators on this thread 😊
Who designed the designer?
In the inquiry whether nature is evidence for design, have you considered the criteria for intelligence in signals from deep space that the scientists running that project use? I don’t know at all but would be interesting. Perhaps several dots and dashes in a pattern sets off an intelligence warning From deep space, and the genetic code in every living thing on earth is dismissed.
I would add that is not just "information" that leads to a mind, but codified information leads you to a mind that created it.

It’s always fascinated me that Georges Lemaître still doesn’t get the credit he deserves when discussing Hubbles constant (that Lemaître discovered 2 years before Hubble) or the origin of the Big Bang (which Lemaître also inferred first from his equations and called the ‘theory of the primeval atom’)
