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.
Yes, and his name is Jehovah. Please look into this because it is of the most important and time-valuable matter. Jesus said at Matthew 17:26: "I have made your name known to them and will make it known." There is so much more to say on Gods good news of his kingdom. Just as the evidence in science points a God as the creator yet most refuse to tune in to Gods design, so, too, are there many who even though they hear The Truth about Gods word (interpretation and perspective) and come to believe in The Bible, they fail to actually come to know Jehovah out of spite or sticking to traditions which suits them better.
I do believe we need to observe the degree of possible messaging in our environment. Carl Sagan once considered the possibility of intelligence buried deep in mathematics,, such as codes in a transcendental number. Fine tuning could be deliberate evidence for our benefit.
In 1990 I studied science in college and had the exact same experience as the young woman he described in the beginning. As a young christian I was unprepared for defending my faith against my fellow students and professors, so I sat quietly and never said anything.

Thank you, Mr. Meyer.
Greetings from Poland :) Dr Meyer, You are great scientist. Im reading actually Yours "Signtaure in the cell", quite convincing arguments I have to admit. God bless You.
I was never an Atheist, I was always Agnostic. I thought that it would be impossible to answer the question whether or not there is God. But, after seeing all the intelligent design and philosophical arguments from several high profile individuals like Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Dr. James Tour, J. Warner Wallace, Dr. Sy Garte, John Lennox, William Lane Craig, and Dr. Frank Turek, I am no longer an Agnostic. I know, this list is long, but trust me, I had so many questions that needed to be answered before I became a believer that there is a God. I still have one or two questions that remain unanswered, but the amount of evidence, the fine tuning, the philosophical and logical arguments, the immense complexity of Physics and Biology, etc., eventually lead me from being an Agnostic to a Theist.
Much appreciation for the exhaustive accumulation of facts and research, logically reasoned, to repudiate dogged efforts by athiests to deny the simple truth that looms so close to their eyes that it's a blur! But none are so blind as those who wish not to see.
I think this channel is shadow banned or being hidden by the youtube algorithm in some way. I've subscribed and wanted all notifications, but I don't get the notifications that there was a new video and sometimes become unsubscribed. That being said...love that I still found this video
I have a Roku box to watch RUclips and I was suggested this video based on my previous history. But I have experience other times when I purposefully go looking for a video and have the hardest time, so I know youtube and google have an algorithm to keep some issues (like religion)in the dark.
Excellent presentation! The number of hoops that Atheists attempt to jump through - just to avoid the simplest, clearest, most logical explanation - that AN INTELLIGENT BEING Created the Universe.
The biggest issue for the Darwinians to solve is what was the system to record and replicate a successful random functional combination of amino acids and of the formed even first functional protein? They can never answer it. Instead they get to insults 🤣🤣
That would be only the beginning of their end. The Minimum Gene Concept, the Cambrian Explosion, the “Missing” Link, LUCA, Abiogenesis, not satisfying falsifiability to be even scientifically credible, no evidence of cross-species evolution, and the list goes on…
Not only that but how does evolution account for a self correcting coding against mutation? Cells are programmed to self correct any mistake in the codes,now think about it,,this is why all the most mutation they talk about causes a lot of issues for cells which results in cancerous cells that dont make new beneficial steps in the body.any change in the cell is self corrected if it is not in the coded gene.

That's an awesome lecture! For me the conclusion is science actually confirms that this wonderful universe of ours is being run and fully controlled by all too powerful God!
Thank you for simplifying cosmology in a way that is (mostly) understandable. Knowing God is ultimate truth, but its helpful to be reminded that atheism is not settled science.
Atheism is not settled science??? What?? That was nonsensical. Atheism is a response to a single question. That’s it. Just like theism is a response to a single question.
@@gowdsake7103 The person who believes in God and the person who does not believe in God do not merely disagree about the possibility of just another being that exists in the universe. They disagree about the fundamental character of the universe including the nature of reality, existence and conscious experience!! The fact is that reality, existence and in particular the qualities of experience are not made of “matter” they are made of (what matters).
Plank and whole European Scientific community for 20 years denied Einstein. Dr Meyer is diving into the heart of Materialistic scientific community big time. He is on the right track. More scientific finds more points to Intelligent Design.
Many thanks and greetings from U.K. It is a real blessing to know that genuine and brave people fight on every level of life for the Truth. The only regret I have is: if I only knew what I know now, watching your videos, I would be able to defend “the God hypothesis” much better in the past…
Excellent presentation. I think one could also argue against the multiverse hypothesis by inquiring for its first cause which ultimately ends up as the Cosmological argument and adds additional support to the Design and Fine Tuning arguments for God's existence.
If "everything" has a cause, then your god must of had a cause. If you use "special pleading" to make god an exception to your rule then your same special pleading can be applied to the cosmos, without the need for a god.
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. 🧠💚💫
@@garsayfsomali Please cite the peer reviewed and published scientific paper that hypothesize's that the cosmos "had a beginning". Also the paper that links the big bang to the origin of the cosmos. I don't believe that either exist. I follow science not a silly story in an old book.
@@Greenie-43x I didn't ask a question I made a factually correct statement. If you wish to challenge the truth of what I have written I will be more than happy to respond. We have the observable universe and nothing else. Anything else is just a product of our imagination. You use some bronze age writings and imagine your god, science uses insanely complex math to imagine and hypothesise what might be beyond our observable universe. I see no good reason to place "faith" in a book that is brim full of un-evidenced "magical stuff".
What a wonderful explanation, faith and science are not separate. There is an author and maintainer of everything. Colossians 1:17. Thanks for this video.
If you are an atheist, why not put your atheism on the shelf for a few minutes and LISTEN to this man. He's telling you the truth. If you find you cannot bear his logic or become 'lost' in his reasoning, I can assure you, the problem is NOT his presentation. It's because your mind, your soul has 'blinkers'. Your eyes - have the same blinkers... in other words it is a spiritual problem. Put away your prejudices and 'a-priori' and listen to him. You have everything to gain.
So I keep watching Dr Meyer over and over, playing each lecture I find multiple times. Sooner or later it will penetrate my thick skull. Lots of bone, not much gray matter. I looked for his books on recordings for the blind but could not find then so I may have to break down and purchase audio books.
Great video! I pray that God will bless Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute and their good work. May He work through them to help many more people like the young lady he shares about at the beginning of this video! In Jesus Name, Amen!
The more we learn about the multiple levels of systems in the structures of living things, and the central role of information, the more obvious it becomes that so-called "micro-evolution" is just the adaptive power built into every living thing, and the much vaunted "macro-evolution" simply never happened!
I believe in the doctrine of election in the Reformed Faith, because i have known and felt God’s “hand” on my life since i was about 4 years old. It never went away and kept me from doing many things that were dangerous to my life even before i received the Word of God, or was voluntarily “dunked” for Baptism, in my life.
I'd like to know why, purely on a scientific/statistical basis, the existence of an omnipotent creator is less likely or plausible than the multiverse theory. Why is it worthy of ridicule whereas multiverse theory is viewed in awe (by people who can't understand any of the maths/physics behind it).
I'm reading Return of the God Hypothesis right now. Just over halfway through it. I also bought one of the mugs from Discovery Institute website. I'm a veritable high intellect philosopher of science now. 😆 jk but I am thoroughly enjoying thinking through the common sense, heavily evidenced theory of intelligent design. It massages my reasoning and feeds my faith.
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.
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!!
“But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. - Job 12:7-10 (ESV)
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. 🙂
Thank you so much, Dr Stephen Meyer, for the amazing lecture. Undoubtedly God exists. “I will show them My signs in the Universe & within themselves.” Quran 41:53 “Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.” - Immanuel Kant
Dr. Meyer doesn't mention it, but Sir John Polkinghorne was an Anglican priest. Msgr. George Lemaitre, who discovered the Big Bang theory, was a Catholic priest.
~Simply love hearing his lectures...explains in a way that us ordinary people can understand. Thank you...bought several of the books he mentioned ❤ plz do as many videos as possible.
Yes. I loved science and still do but my faith was rattled by the fact that so many "smart" people thought my faith was "stupid". I enjoy my career in IT but I used to dream of being a scientist. I wonder if I would have strived more to be in the science feild had they not been so anti-religion.
Yeah understand. That basically every major field of science was invented/discovered by a devout Christian doesnt seem to matter to many of them. That said, there are many more theists in science than most people realize.
In addition to Dr. Meyer and The Discovery Institute, Dr. James Tour provides essential logical information that promotes intelligent design. It is inescapable that there is a plan and purpose for the universe, the world, and each and every one of us. To believe otherwise takes just as much or more faith and is much more pessimistic viewpoint. It is ultimately an individuals choice on which to place their faith. Choose wisely.
Dr. James Tour and Dr. Stephen Meyer are a one-two punch for reason and a creator God AKA an intelligent designer. It makes more faith (conviction) to believe that there is no god.
*_Groan!_* I loved this right up to the moment he invoked the 13th century philosopher. Occam's Razor is a tool, but like all tools *_cannot_* be used for everything. A hammer has a limited suite of uses, and is highly unusable for driving a car, for welding two sheets of metal, for planting a tree, for creating a blueprint, etc. And there are instances where Occam's Razor does more harm than good. I discuss one of these in my book, *_The Bible's Hidden Wisdom._*
The Urantia Book is the best source of information about the origin of the universe and the life within it. Meyers is aware of this source and it is free online. It answers all the questions that stumps the scientists as well as the theologians.
God created the a beautiful univers with all physics rules and what we don't know yet. Created human being and all what he needs for life. Gave us intelligence to understand that he exists.
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.
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.
There are 2 simple questions 1/ Which came first, DNA or the cell? 2/ How do you make organic acids and organic protiens (the building units of neucleotide bases) from inorganic materials? Right now neither can be explained coherently. EDIT I do like the way you make science almost understandable to me 😉
Perhaps paying a little attention in chemistry classes would have prevented some of your confusion? 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.
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 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.
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
These kind of things must be shouted from the rooftops within the Institution. This incomprehensible Grand Designer became the embodiment of Man, in nature and character, revealed Himself to us. Showing us OUR purpose, our walk, gave us access to this, in the midst of the 2nd law of thermodynamics that we have been subjected to since we chose to taste of such a law, being enveloped suddenly with the knowledge of evil and good.
I just want to say that the multiverse theory was not originally an attempt to explain the fine tuning of the universe. The idea was an attempt by Hugh Everett III to explain the double slit experiment and the "collapse of the wave function." The multiverse idea was originally an interpretation of the Schrodinger equation. It was an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation, don't you know? It is a viable explanation for why the double slit experiment yields non-deterministic results. Fine tuning of the universe never crossed Hugh Everett's mind in his consideration for a "Many Worlds" theory more than 60 years ago. The multiverse idea, many years later, just so happened to also piggyback onto the fine tuning conundrum as a decent, speculative explanation. Please, sir don't ignore this truth, for the wisest of your listeners will understand this and be discouraged. What do we say to our friends and colleagues when they challenge us with this truth?
All of creation is physical proof of God the Creator. There is no physical evidence of creation created itself. There is no physical proof of nonliving elements evolving into life forms.

Stephen Meyer a man of great understanding with the abilities to help us understand thank you.
Thanks to God for a person like you, with such a wonderful gift of explaining
Much appreciation for the exhaustive accumulation of facts and research, logically reasoned, to repudiate dogged efforts by athiests to deny the simple truth that looms so close to their eyes that it's a blur! But none are so blind as those who wish not to see.
Warm greetings from turkey. Please do Turkish substitle.

You can turn on the CC I didn't want give the information in your language
Conclusion: Theism is logical possible. Great explanation of a very technical subject.
I watch these videos over and over. They never get old.
I think this channel is shadow banned or being hidden by the youtube algorithm in some way. I've subscribed and wanted all notifications, but I don't get the notifications that there was a new video and sometimes become unsubscribed.
That being said...love that I still found this video
But it is opposite for Richard Dawkins channel
I don't know how the shadow banning stuff works but this video was suggested to me by youtube. I didn't go looking for it.
I have not had that problem. I wonder why the two different experiences?
I have a Roku box to watch RUclips and I was suggested this video based on my previous history. But I have experience other times when I purposefully go looking for a video and have the hardest time, so I know youtube and google have an algorithm to keep some issues (like religion)in the dark.
@@williamromine5715 it happens on many of the channels I'm subscribed to
Dr. Meyer, you're a national treasure. Thanks so much.
Excellent presentation!
The number of hoops that Atheists attempt to jump through - just to avoid the simplest, clearest, most logical explanation - that AN INTELLIGENT BEING Created the Universe.
The biggest issue for the Darwinians to solve is what was the system to record and replicate a successful random functional combination of amino acids and of the formed even first functional protein? They can never answer it. Instead they get to insults 🤣🤣
They say replication doesn't need a record... They use the factor of immense amounts of time coupled with an incredibly large amount of attempts.
That would be only the beginning of their end. The Minimum Gene Concept, the Cambrian Explosion, the “Missing” Link, LUCA, Abiogenesis, not satisfying falsifiability to be even scientifically credible, no evidence of cross-species evolution, and the list goes on…
Uhh….uh….the wind caused it….EVOLUTION!!
*onepart:* _"Instead they get to the insults"_
I've observed that too. If THEY can't answer, it's be cause I AM stupid. Ironic, that.
Not only that but how does evolution account for a self correcting coding against mutation? Cells are programmed to self correct any mistake in the codes,now think about it,,this is why all the most mutation they talk about causes a lot of issues for cells which results in cancerous cells that dont make new beneficial steps in the body.any change in the cell is self corrected if it is not in the coded gene.
I believe that everyone involved in this project is part of the fulfillment of the prophecy recorded in Matthew 24:14.
And if someone knows something better than that, I hope (s)he publish it.
Thank all of you.

Absolutely loving this!! So logically presented....thank you.
In what way ?
@@gowdsake7103
“In what way”
Why ask? And was that a rational question or determined?
That's an awesome lecture! For me the conclusion is science actually confirms that this wonderful universe of ours is being run and fully controlled by all too powerful God!
Thank you for simplifying cosmology in a way that is (mostly) understandable. Knowing God is ultimate truth, but its helpful to be reminded that atheism is not settled science.
Atheism is not settled science??? What?? That was nonsensical. Atheism is a response to a single question. That’s it. Just like theism is a response to a single question.
Dr. Meyer, this was an excellent and informative lecture, with numerous great conversation starting points!
Not a single proof of god !
@@gowdsake7103 Look at the cosmological argument and teleological argument and the moral argument
@@gowdsake7103
The person who believes in God and the person who does not believe in God do not merely disagree about the possibility of just another being that exists in the universe. They disagree about the fundamental character of the universe including the nature of reality, existence and conscious experience!! The fact is that reality, existence and in particular the qualities of experience are not made of “matter” they are made of (what matters).
@@gowdsake7103 Mount Rushmore: who created it? The universe: who else but God. It is too obvious the truth is not what you actually want.
@@markuse3472 I think its important to see this person in this space ( internally seeking ). A place to start at least.
Plank and whole European Scientific community for 20 years denied Einstein.
Dr Meyer is diving into the heart of Materialistic scientific community big time.
He is on the right track. More scientific finds more points to Intelligent Design.
Name some of these scientific finds.
Thank you Dr. Meyer for this detailed video.
Thank you for all that you and your team do to vindicate God. He will not forget the love you have shown him.
Many thanks and greetings from U.K.
It is a real blessing to know that genuine and brave people fight on every level of life for the Truth.
The only regret I have is: if I only knew what I know now, watching your videos, I would be able to defend “the God hypothesis” much better in the past…
Excellent presentation. I think one could also argue against the multiverse hypothesis by inquiring for its first cause which ultimately ends up as the Cosmological argument and adds additional support to the Design and Fine Tuning arguments for God's existence.
If "everything" has a cause, then your god must of had a cause. If you use "special pleading" to make god an exception to your rule then your same special pleading can be applied to the cosmos, without the need for a god.
@@downenout8705 The Cosmos had a beginning or are you going to throw the big bang under the bus to sooth your conscious.
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.
🧠💚💫
@@garsayfsomali Please cite the peer reviewed and published scientific paper that hypothesize's that the cosmos "had a beginning". Also the paper that links the big bang to the origin of the cosmos. I don't believe that either exist. I follow science not a silly story in an old book.
@@Greenie-43x I didn't ask a question I made a factually correct statement. If you wish to challenge the truth of what I have written I will be more than happy to respond.
We have the observable universe and nothing else. Anything else is just a product of our imagination.
You use some bronze age writings and imagine your god, science uses insanely complex math to imagine and hypothesise what might be beyond our observable universe.
I see no good reason to place "faith" in a book that is brim full of un-evidenced "magical stuff".
Dr. Stephen is one of the best scientist who talking about ID.
Accepting the original definition of universe that it is all that is seen and unseen than there is only one universe. Peace and Love
What a wonderful explanation, faith and science are not separate. There is an author and maintainer of everything. Colossians 1:17.
Thanks for this video.
Amazing stuff. Thank you.
Love your work. You're doing a great job. Thanks.
the brilliance of Dr. Meyer become apparent to me when i read his book: 'Darwin's Doubt"
If you are an atheist, why not put your atheism on the shelf for a few minutes and LISTEN to this man. He's telling you the truth. If you find you cannot bear his logic or become 'lost' in his reasoning, I can assure you, the problem is NOT his presentation. It's because your mind, your soul has 'blinkers'. Your eyes - have the same blinkers... in other words it is a spiritual problem. Put away your prejudices and 'a-priori' and listen to him. You have everything to gain.
I appreciate the slow, clear, case building to a transcendent Designer - remarkable thinking
So I keep watching Dr Meyer over and over, playing each lecture I find multiple times. Sooner or later it will penetrate my thick skull. Lots of bone, not much gray matter. I looked for his books on recordings for the blind but could not find then so I may have to break down and purchase audio books.
Great video! I pray that God will bless Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute and their good work. May He work through them to help many more people like the young lady he shares about at the beginning of this video! In Jesus Name, Amen!
The more we learn about the multiple levels of systems in the structures of living things, and the central role of information, the more obvious it becomes that so-called "micro-evolution" is just the adaptive power built into every living thing, and the much vaunted "macro-evolution" simply never happened!
Exactly correct Chris
Does anyone know what that painting is behind Dr. Meyer on the wall? He has it with him and many videos… I would love to know what it is....
I believe in the doctrine of election in the Reformed Faith, because i have known and felt God’s “hand” on my life since i was about 4 years old. It never went away and kept me from doing many things that were dangerous to my life even before i received the Word of God, or was voluntarily “dunked” for Baptism, in my life.
I'd like to know why, purely on a scientific/statistical basis, the existence of an omnipotent creator is less likely or plausible than the multiverse theory. Why is it worthy of ridicule whereas multiverse theory is viewed in awe (by people who can't understand any of the maths/physics behind it).
At around 29:25, Dr. Meyer discusses the "universe generating mechanisms" apart of the multiverse theory.
Great job Dr Meyer. More people should learn the science of the early universe billions of years ago.
we live in an advanced 'Real Life' Simulation, we are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience
I'm reading Return of the God Hypothesis right now. Just over halfway through it. I also bought one of the mugs from Discovery Institute website. I'm a veritable high intellect philosopher of science now. 😆 jk but I am thoroughly enjoying thinking through the common sense, heavily evidenced theory of intelligent design. It massages my reasoning and feeds my faith.
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.
Thanks Stephen, this is a very informative vid
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!!
“But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of all mankind. - Job 12:7-10 (ESV)
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. 🙂
Thanks for this marvelous channel, it's great to have this amazing perspective...
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Thank you so much, Dr Stephen Meyer, for the amazing lecture. Undoubtedly God exists.

~Simply love hearing his lectures...explains in a way that us ordinary people can understand. Thank you...bought several of the books he mentioned ❤ plz do as many videos as possible.
Applause!!! Beautiful Dr. Meyer!
Yes. I loved science and still do but my faith was rattled by the fact that so many "smart" people thought my faith was "stupid". I enjoy my career in IT but I used to dream of being a scientist. I wonder if I would have strived more to be in the science feild had they not been so anti-religion.
Yeah understand. That basically every major field of science was invented/discovered by a devout Christian doesnt seem to matter to many of them. That said, there are many more theists in science than most people realize.
In addition to Dr. Meyer and The Discovery Institute, Dr. James Tour provides essential logical information that promotes intelligent design. It is inescapable that there is a plan and purpose for the universe, the world, and each and every one of us. To believe otherwise takes just as much or more faith and is much more pessimistic viewpoint. It is ultimately an individuals choice on which to place their faith. Choose wisely.
Dr. James Tour and Dr. Stephen Meyer are a one-two punch for reason and a creator God AKA an intelligent designer. It makes more faith (conviction) to believe that there is no god.
Thanks, Steve! This information is truly a blessing
*_Groan!_* I loved this right up to the moment he invoked the 13th century philosopher. Occam's Razor is a tool, but like all tools *_cannot_* be used for everything. A hammer has a limited suite of uses, and is highly unusable for driving a car, for welding two sheets of metal, for planting a tree, for creating a blueprint, etc. And there are instances where Occam's Razor does more harm than good. I discuss one of these in my book, *_The Bible's Hidden Wisdom._*
I need glasses.I thought your book was "Biden's Hidden Wisdom"🤔.
Amen Dr. Meyer !!!
The Urantia Book is the best source of information about the origin of the universe and the life within it. Meyers is aware of this source and it is free online. It answers all the questions that stumps the scientists as well as the theologians.
Philosophy can clip an angels wings. That book surely does.
The Bible is The only true word of and from God.
God created the a beautiful univers with all physics rules and what we don't know yet. Created human being and all what he needs for life.
Gave us intelligence to understand that he exists.
Awesome explanation
Fine tuning ? this would be the universe that is 99.9999999999999999999999999999 percent lethal to humans
Superb lecture!
So happy... If I cant explain i, then I always have intelligent design.
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.
This man is helping to save lives
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.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
There are 2 simple questions
1/ Which came first, DNA or the cell?
2/ How do you make organic acids and organic protiens (the building units of neucleotide bases) from inorganic materials?
Right now neither can be explained coherently.
EDIT
I do like the way you make science almost understandable to me 😉
Perhaps paying a little attention in chemistry classes would have prevented some of your confusion?
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.

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.
Wow! what a great lecture! He explains so well.
Awesome sir thankx
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.
Awesomely, the answer is also within the problem itself!
If there is a universe creating mechanism somewhere out there I would like to know who created the universe creating mechanism.
My GED hurts.... thanks Meyer.
This a very good insights... & the sources are Atheists or agnostics. To God be the glory for your good works.
Very God Job! Thanks a lot!
Beautiful talk, very balanced and fine-tuned
Wow
Good summary
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
Stephen, are you going to produce a book titled "The science delusion"???
amazing, love meyer...
These kind of things must be shouted from the rooftops within the Institution.
This incomprehensible Grand Designer became the embodiment of Man, in nature and character, revealed Himself to us. Showing us OUR purpose, our walk, gave us access to this, in the midst of the 2nd law of thermodynamics that we have been subjected to since we chose to taste of such a law, being enveloped suddenly with the knowledge of evil and good.
18:50
That's weird. What's wrong with just saying 10 to the 124? I'm open to Dr. Meyer's hypothesis, but why wouldn't he catch that?
Picky much
thats's so profound.. it postulates fewer abstracts....
I just want to say that the multiverse theory was not originally an attempt to explain the fine tuning of the universe. The idea was an attempt by Hugh Everett III to explain the double slit experiment and the "collapse of the wave function." The multiverse idea was originally an interpretation of the Schrodinger equation. It was an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation, don't you know? It is a viable explanation for why the double slit experiment yields non-deterministic results. Fine tuning of the universe never crossed Hugh Everett's mind in his consideration for a "Many Worlds" theory more than 60 years ago. The multiverse idea, many years later, just so happened to also piggyback onto the fine tuning conundrum as a decent, speculative explanation. Please, sir don't ignore this truth, for the wisest of your listeners will understand this and be discouraged. What do we say to our friends and colleagues when they challenge us with this truth?
All of creation is physical proof of God the Creator.
There is no physical evidence of creation created itself.
There is no physical proof of nonliving elements evolving into life forms.
