As a former ardent atheist, I agree. You should see the evidence (and great minds) involved in the evolution discussion. Evolution as origin and speciation is an absolute joke - mathematically proven to be *dozens of orders of magnitude” too weak even using severely conservative assumptions. Someone added a ton of information to the biosphere’s genome during the cambrian explosion (a brief five-million-year period when almost all known animal forms appeared suddenly).

Dear Paul, I'm glad to hear that. Realizing the fact that *there is a creator* is only the first step brother. The next step is finding answer to the qstn *which God?* You said you're a Christian. That was a great decision to follow Christ. But remember, there are thousands of christian denominations all over the world. These denominations hardly agree with each other in key doctrines and practices. Not every denomination can be the truth. So I encourage you to find the true Christian faith using your God-given ability of reasoning and logic. If you currently belongs to a trinitarian church, I encourage you to study on *trinity.* What does the bible teach about God? Is he Trinitarian or non-Trinitarian? Try to find out. Ask any help if u want.

What this video still leaves unanswered is why the metaphysics of universes requires a physics that requires fine tuning. One could imagine mathematical structures with more wiggle room. My conclusion is that not only is there a designer, but that this designer WANTS TO BE KNOWN.

Thank God for this Man.

Good question to ponder, Downen Out. The main reason I can think of why the cosmos can't get the same treatment as a Creator would be the following; The Law of Cause and Effect is a Universal Law, meaning true for this universe. So the Cosmos or Universe would Always have the Law of Cause and Effect, no matter how far back we go. By definition if something or Someone is the Creator of the cosmos, it (or God) would start its creation Not existing inside the universe, and hence would not be limited to the Laws of this universe. We can build a house, but it would be silly for someone to claim that our process was always inside that house. At the start, the process was on the bare ground with no structure in sight, so we certainly weren't 'inside' of it. So that leaves us with an Intelligent Creator or a Multiverse for two of the common explanations. Since we have zero evidence for the multiverse hypothesis, I will continue to study the cosmos that we currently know exists. And as I find intelligence has been introduced, I choose to attribute that to the one source verified as a creative power, a Mind. 🧠💚💫

Odd, if intelligent design is so obvious then why do you have to rely on faith? Coincidently, those that dont rely on faith don't see intelligent design. If you have evidence you don't need faith. Faith feeds confirmation bias. If you are convinced you have a relationship with a god all you have to do is ask your god to give you the ability to demonstrate its infiinte existence that cannot be misinterpreted. Should be easy for a god that is smarter than people, correct? Until then, us nonbelievers continue forward while you all sort out your own intelligent design mess.

thats's so profound.. it postulates fewer abstracts....

Thank you for all the work that the Discovery Institute is doing. The standard attack is that you are religiously motivated but denying that it is the data that counts. Intelligent design has infinitely more explanatory power not only for the origin of a finely tuned, intelligible universe and life but also consciousness, metaphysics, art, literature, music, numbers, miracles, beauty and so many other things that grubby, stunted materialism cannot explain. Why natural selection would waste energy and time on phenomena extraneous to survival is inexplicable in Darwinist epistemology. Why not stop at bacteria or cockroaches rather going on to Mozart, Rembrandt, or Kurt Gödel. Thanks again. Meyer, Tour, Behe, and others are really agitating the monkey descendants. I love it.

I like listening to Stephen Meyer's presentations on the probability that our universe is the product of an intelligent designer, and I agree with most of what he says. However, I think his arguments are hindered by the belief that the intelligent designer created the universe out of nothing, because that belief only leads to the natural question: "Then where did the intelligent designer come from?" There are fundamental scientific laws and observations so well established that they are beyond question, and they lead to the conclusion that the universe was NOT created from nothing: The Law of Cause and Effect; The Law of the Conservation of Mass; The Law of the Conservation of Energy; E=mc2; the expansion of the universe in all directions. If we go back in time then the universe will get smaller and smaller until we reach a point where Time equals zero. At this point everything the universe consists of will come together in what is known as a 'Singularity', and it will remain in this state unless acted upon by an external influence (a Cause) which brings about a change in the state of the 'Singularity' (the Effect). The Cause cannot come from within the 'Singularity' but must come from outside the 'Singularity', otherwise the "Singularity' could never have formed in the first place. We call the Effect: 'The Big Bang', and our universe has evolved from that event under the 'Fine Tuning' conditions Dr Meyer has so eloquently explained in his presentation. This hypothesis of creation from a 'Something' that has always existed and always will exist in some form or other (rather than creation from a 'Nothing'), complies with the two Laws of Conservation given above. The observed interchangeability of matter and energy is explained by E=mc2. The expansion of the universe is observed, and further supports the hypothesis that our universe was formed from something that already existed. So the answer to the question: "Where did the universe come from?" is, "From the 'Singularity'." The real question that needs to be answered is: "What Cause brought about the change in the state of the 'Singularity' in such a magnificent way?" Each of us can call that Cause whatever we choose, but it's unscientific to deny it's existence. Finally, is our universe just one of countless billions of universes? Could we be part of a multiverse? Probably. Could each individual universe have come from it's own 'Singularity' in the same way ours did, with the same 'Fine Tuning' conditions as ours has? Yes. Would that mean each universe has it's own separate but equally magnificent Cause? Most definitely. Atheism is NOT supported by scientific laws, so Atheists resort to the argument that the scientific laws must have been different when the universe first formed. I personally don't believe them. The argument for 'Intelligent Design' makes scientific sense, and especially if we rule out the notion that the universe was created from nothing. Jim. 🙂

I wait to be corrected, but the multiverse comes across as a frolic in confidence trickery, does it not? Nevertheless, while I'd like to be convinced by the 'fine-tuning' argument, if seems to be a case of affirming the consequent to me and so is uncompelling as it lacks a comparative, unlike design theory, which does stand out from a comparative (the rock face illustration, for example) and so has some credibility. Specified complexity needs more work to my mind, but seems promising, along the lines of the low entropy of 'designed' things. The route to design specificity is perhaps the conjunction of a number of non-determined elements (systems/sub-systems, sources, components across time and/or space that produce an outcome that is not determined by any of the elements alone, nor determinable by those elements. More work needed, I know, but that's where I lean an the moment.

Can someone give me the math behind all this debating and atheist and when I refer to Stephen Meyers "whenever anyone's said what you've said they never provide formulas equations variables used and not used" I can't find a good answer to that

Question: How did the mechanisms needed to spawn a universe, such that multiverse and String theory require, come into existence? How did something come from nothing? Doesn't the explanation of where some- _thing_ came from imply that it came from some- _thing_ ? Explaining how the universe was formed by saying it was formed by something seems to just move the goal post. Where did everything come from if not an outside intelligent influence? After all, isn't nothing the absence of _everything_ ?

We don’t know many of the answers to those questions. They are some of the most difficult things to investigate. Some choose to believe it’s all from some deity. And that’s fine for them. Many aren’t satisfied or few that’s a good explanation for things when we see no actual evidence for a deity being the cause of things.

Multi-Realm's Jesus made two incredible statements, first, He said "My Father is always working", two, "My Father has MANY abodes or mansions". Since God has no beginning, and He (obviously) loves to work. Jesus downplayed His Father's greatness by using the word "MANY", when in reality since His Father had no beginning, that would imply His Father has a vast amount of realms AND He controls each one perfectly, just as our universe is fine tuned perfectly.. YOU live in the presents of an awesome God!!

Picky much

Our modern scientic jurney as spicies is just in its infancy. It's just over 500 years old (starting at Copernicus). There are still so many intra-scientific questions we still cannot answer. The prolific mind of certain individual scientists continue to spue so many hypotheses to resolve these qustions. Many of which are not really scientific at all because they suppose entities and proceses, which are not accessible to our experince even in principle (e.g. "many worlds" hypothsis). The main thing to remember is the overwelming leap in our ability to describe the universe and our ability to improve our own lives that was achieved since we decided to abandon the notion of devine intervention in nature. Given the status of most of our theories in physics, cosmology, biology, etc., and given our ceturies of everchanging scientific world views, it's quite consivable that our current theories will be supercieded by more advanced and coherent ones, perhaps ones doesn't require any fine tuning, either in the beggining of the univese (if it really had a beggining) or in the constants of nature. That said, I believe we can be sure of at least two things: (a) Mr. Meyer and his followers will not abondon their faith, and (b) they will continue to suggest "god's work" at whatever gap(s) that will still remain in our scientific world view (I assume there will always remain some gaps). Just remember, if it's "gods work", there is no need to continue exploring and researching because "god's work" can explain everything totaly and completely. After all, men cannot quetion "god's work". In this view, it's the deninitive "first motion" to everying.

Individual intellect expands via personal interest, open curiosity and an active mind, and this process has an affect on our perception of reality that can be profound and can displace well established personal mysticism.

Our atmosphere is constantly exposed to various particles having sufficiently high energy to break bonds in common inorganic molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide. These reactions creates very reactive single atoms or molecules (oxygen, nitrogen, ozone, nitrogen oxide) which reacts further to give componds like nitrous acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid which is carried down with the rain. There they can react further with various minerals to give a whole slew of metal containing componds having various levels of catalytic influence on another whole slew of compounds. We learned about catalysts from nature.

If both the observable expanding universe and CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) are not a product of the Big Bang, then explain them.

It's my assertion that the main branches in the tree of life formed in the earliest multi-cell organisms. The distinct differences simply needed enough time to pass in order to see the distinctions in the fossil record.

But we're did the multi cell organism come from?
