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.

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
He doesn't argue. He demonstrates. Isn't it great when God imbues a bit of His wisdom to a person?!!
Men reject the knowledge of God, for their deeds are evil...
Dr Meyer is a great man without a doubt he is doing GOD s work and helping us all by strengthening our faith in our Creator , May The Creator guide him and us all to straight path path to paradise .
Can you demonstrate this 'god' claim exists ?
@@michaelanderson7715 Yes.
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.
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.
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.
Stephen Meyer is brilliant as always. One of the greatest thinkers of our times.
LoooL hilarious!!
God bless you Stephen Meyer.
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
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.”
Thank God for smart people like Stephen Meyer.💪🏾✌🏾👍🏾
Can you demonstrate this 'god' claim exists ?
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." )
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!!
Thank you so much Stephen Meyer, this is infinitely better than watching the mind numbing thing called T.V.
Our loving Father had made a beautiful home for us..!!
The legend that is Dr Stephen Meyer
Spirit of the living god be with us always.
What an excellent speaker , explaining everything so well.
Those that understand*never* explain,while those that do *not* understand*cannot_help* explaining
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.
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.
If you like Stephen, listen to James Tour on Orgin of life on you tube.
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
To know the true nature of God one must first negate him, so in this sense science is on the right track.
How Richard Dawkins made me a Christian.
“Biology is the study of living things that appear
Designed”
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.
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.
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.
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
Evil prevails when good men remain silent
The whole existence is just one energy manifest itself on millions different ways...we are all that energy and we creating non stop.
Stephen Meyer is the foremost authority on ID and Evolution.
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...
God Bless
“ Our Almighty Lord Savior Beloved Blessed Christ Father Holy Spirit “ Said “ In The Beginning “. His Truths Discernment’s “
“ There “Was “Is “ A “ BEGINNING “.
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".
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...
Principia was NOT one of the greatest works of physics ever written it was THE greatest work of physics ever written.
I so loved this man .
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 gave you a great mind thank you for sharing
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).
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.
To be part of this great movement.
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.
Viva Meyer and Behe.
" *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 so blessed.
Dr. Meyer called the Kalam cosmological argument when Aristotle's unmoved mover argument is another cosmological one.
Hallelujah
Please keep it simple as it has all been said before.
Meyer mops the floor with the new darwinists, again!
I have listened to this before. Very interesting and intelligently explained.
Stephen Meyer is an ignored genius. I pity the Left-liberal atheistic materialistic media and the elite 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?
Thank you!
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.
lol but zero evidence of any such being - all based on questions - we don't get this, how can this be? etc
This is a great lecture.
Not to mention music, art, love...
With consilience there is room both for hard rationalism and faith.
"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?
Awesome!
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....
open your mind people. this man has proof
Amen To God be the glory
God Bless You all. Jesus is King
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".
No rights no wrongs ...just love.❤️
"Son you don't need a world view, you need a job."
This has never been more relevant.
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.
Evolution is about adaptation...
Species require a creative input...
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?
:Intriguing. Creationism is not religion it is science theory. Makes sense. Math always leads back to 1: the source of it all. 2 couldn't be 3 without the 1 and so forth through the golden ratio. Praise the source.
Excellent!
"The New Atheists", would that there was SOMETHING new in what they are saying.
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.
I would add that is not just "information" that leads to a mind, but codified information leads you to a mind that created it.
Thank you
Gratitude for uploading this. Surely a true believer doesn't need such "evidence".
yes because they don't have any - that's the problem
Any fool can make cheap promises & many have
Problem is when intelligent people start asking pesky questions like where is the evidence for this? And since they have none, they resort to your words - "we don't need any" or "it will happen only if you believe" - that way driving out those who ask pesky questions
That is how most ponzi-schemes work
@@ramaraksha01 not even close. google the minimal facts argument. its on you to explain the evidence away that we have and that critics of the bible themselves agree on being historically valid. unless u have a naturalistic explanation(ur rules) you can show even though serious liberal scholars have given up even proposing new ones today. I believe
I would like have a conversation with Stephen I wish there was a way to speak with him. I have a lot of doubts and would just like to have someone far smarter than me help me.
@bubbythebrow153
"I would like have a conversation with Stephen I wish there was a way to speak with him. I have a lot of doubts and would just like to have someone far smarter than me help me."
So then maybe aim a little higher. Go see how his "Signature in the Cell" book was received by the rest of the scientific community. They panned it. And then he whined. And then they laughed.
He is laughable.
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’)
Reject Modernity and its hubris, embrace Tradition.
Wow!
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.
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.
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.
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!
We don't create. God creates via us !
Thanks for your work
When in the video or what was the quote of Richard Dawkins concerning his worldview?
OK found it! 3:36
"The universe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference." --Richard Dawkins
Our world through time .
When is the book coming out?
in gods light we are blind
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.
Amazing
I’m not surprised there are no evolutionist commentators on this thread 😊
Yup
Science is all compelling...
We are humans👍
