10 Questions on Fine Tuning with Stephen Meyer

What does the latest science show about the fine-tuning of the universe? Does it point towards God or is there a better, naturalistic explanation? In this video, I talk with Dr. Stephen Meyer, a Cambridge-trained philosopher of science, about the biggest objections to the fine-tuning of the universe. We discuss quantum mechanics, the multiverse, and other top challenges to the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God.

The thing that struck me reading Dr. Meyers' books is his thorough discussion of objections to his arguments. He strikes me as both knowledgeable and honest.

Sean McDowell does so many great videos. Stephen Meyer is a legend!

[lynandrews]

Fabulous explanations. Thanks gentlemen.

Always learn something from Stephen Meyer who does a good job of explaining complex concepts in ready to understand terms.

I am honored to have Mr. Stephen Meyer.
I think he pulled scientific thought out of the swamp it fell into.

I love Dr Meyer. One of my favorite humans and someone I would really like to meet one day and have lunch with. A long lunch LOL. He explains very complicated things and understandable ways and has really encouraged my love for science and math / probability.

Sean McDowell does an excellent job at interviewing these incredible minds and balancing great questions with allowing them to speak. I wish I had discovered his ministry sooner. It is a huge blessing.

Went to Whitworth College with Dr. Stephen Meyer and we were both Physics majors!

Dr. Tour, of RICE UNIVERSITY, has been debating Athiest scientists on the SHEER IMPROBABILITY of ABIOGENENESIS based solely on the basic biochemicals and organic synthesis concepts. I was on Campus at Purdue University and Dr. Tour was just ONE BUILDING over getting his PhD in Chemistry while I completed my PhD Physics coursework!!

God Bless all

Am here again. Preparing to engage someone about this. Needed a quick refresh on some things.

Great conversation! The emphasis on physical constants is important, because these constants of physics help in understanding creation and the universe.

Great comment Meyer👍

Love hearing from Steven Meyer!!! He always has super interesting info.

Such a thought provoking discussion. Always enjoy listening to Dr. Meyer.

Let’s worship and praise and live in fear and all and wonder if the great fine tuner of everything created

When I was into new atheism it surely wasn't apparent to me that there was this, or these, deep philosophical issues at the root of things. New atheism seems to bypass or ignore them.

It's so weird when I saw a Hitchens vs John Lennox debate. I'd seen it before, but suddenly Lennox seemed more plausible.

Great show. It's very helpful.

Excellent discussion. Just amazing and opens up so many thoughts and avenues. Thanks to both of you for this .

[Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom]

This was a fantastic conversation! Well done, Gentlemen.

I have listened to many of Dr Meyer's talks and read several of his excellent books. This was a great summary, simple and understandably explained!
Thanks for posting this Sean!

I like what John Lennox said while smiling: If there are unlimited universes with all possibilities existing then in one of those universes God exist. On the monkeys typing Shakespeare, I doubt they would ever type a complete play. Why? Because of meaningless repetitive actions. If there was a device that stopped them from repeating already tried combinations, then yes. They would eventually type the play given enough time. String theory made me smile. As I understand it, everything is made of vibrating "strings". It made me remember "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made." Speaking causes vibration.

An ideology is something that refuses to be objective and denies the obvious!
While I understand that scientists need to hold tightly to naturalism to maintain their credibility amongst their peers, it’s still an ideology just the same.
From the macro to the micro the complexity of the universe is a given, the probability for this complexity is astounding and incontrovertible yet the subjective attitudes of scientists over objectivity is astonishing!
