Can This Man PROVE That God Exists? Piers Morgan vs Stephen Meyer

In a lively yet in-depth discussion, Piers Morgan drills down to the core of human existence with Stephen C. Meyer, the prominent ‘intelligent design’ advocate.

In this Piers Morgan Uncensored special, Meyers firmly rejects the idea that a scientific worldview leads to atheism, arguing instead that ‘the universe requires a creator or cause’. When Richard Dawkin’s name is mentioned, Meyer claims that he actually really loves the atheist firebrand and admires his intensity. Lastly, Morgan and Meyers agree that the question of God’s existence is tied to more than just cold hard facts, but also human nature itself.

I remember being at my mother’s bedside when she died. She died of Alzheimer’s and was non verbal for many months before her death. She opened her eyes and looked at me and said, “Sue, I’ll see you on the other side”. And then she passed. It blew my mind.

I've been an athiest all 32 years of my life, more attracted to science and things that I can see or prove. To the point I've debated people in the past about how stupid the idea of a god is.

Recently, I began to find myself being more and more interested in religion. I've no idea why, I just know that I felt a calling to learn more. Now baring in mind that I've been staunchly against the existence of a god, I started to get this strange feeling when I was doing things. The feeling of being watched. The feeling of being judged on my actions. As crazy as this sounds in words, I began to think to myself, "if there is a God, he's watching me right now. I shouldn't be doing this." And so I started to adjust certain behaviours to try to be good, because I felt I was letting someone or something down. The same type of way you don't want to let a parent down.
I also, very recently, began to get this feeling of some type of presence. Like no matter where I am or what I'm doing there's a presence with me, and I find myself apologising to this presence I believe to be gid, if I do something wrong. Imagine that? Sounds crazy right? Maybe it is. Maybe I am. Who knows.

Now, if you've lived my life, you'd understand how crazy it sounds to me or anyone around me to be apologising in my head to God😂. I mean I feel crazy typing it.
As I walk, as I work, play, talk... no matter what I'm doing it's all I'm thinking about. I'm apologising for all the things I've done and all the people I've hurt in my life and hoping I'm forgiven by this presence or power.

Even as I sit typing right now, I can feel a presence watching over me and it's almost to the level I feel like I'm typing this to spread the word, or even just to share it. To open up someone else's eyes.

I also started reading the bible not too long ago, and again, if you knew the life I was from you'd understand how crazy it is to even have a bible, it really was a huge step. Every single person in my life is completely non religious and would laugh if they seen my bible. I'd be a comple outsider. The only one. The "stupid" one "if I believe any of that nonsense."
I've had recent conversations where workmates have laughed off the idea of a god, they think the idea is something to mock religious people over. I didn't defend it. I didn't tell them i was religious. I didn't challenge them and I've found myself feeling riddled with guilt that I never.
One of the arguments was "I grew out of religion when I was about 12 when i realised Santa wasn't real either."
Unfortunately, I don't have the wisdom, or the information to defend or debate it right now, but I will have, eventually.

Full disclosure, I still don't fully know if I'm Christian, I still have doubts, I'm still very much unsure what this journey is. But hopefully it starts to become clearer and clearer over the next few years.

If if you've made it this far, thank you! I really appreciate your time🙂

[angelarobertson]

Well this was the best interview i have seen piers doing ... no ridiculing, shouting or talking over the thanks to both off.yous 😊

[robburgess]

Stephen Meyer has an incredible mind and character. Intellectual, Philosophical and Spiritual. A rare combo!

[roselzero]

Finally! A good show where there is no screaming, fighting or yelling. Whichever side one takes, you can appreciate the intelligent and meaningful conversation.

[jamesreid]

I wish this was a longer conversation.

[Skotty]

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Beyond its cosmological focus, I thought Stephen spoke with such eloquence on the grief of losing his mother. It profoundly touched me. The complete opposite of ego-bloated scientist, he conveys genuine kindness and affability. This makes me think he's just a very good human being.

[georgez]

I may have been able to understand only 50% of what this guy was talking about but I could listen to him for hours

[annA]

Would have liked this conversation to go on for longer. Thirty minutes just wasn't long enough Piers.
Would really love to see a conversation between Stephen Meyer and Richard Dawkins too.

[angelodaloia]

Having lost my wife suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 53 I know only too well the pain of grief, but I can honestly say this experience has brought me closer to God. God has shown up in my life like never before through many supernatural coincidences that have brought me a great deal of comfort, Psalm 34 vs 18 says “God is close to the brokenhearted “ this has been my experience. I am now more convinced than ever before that there is a God and my wife is in heaven and I will see her again.

[justinbishop-efbp]

I have such respect for this man. I've been aware of Stephen since 2008 in his appearance in the documentary "Expelled No intelligence allowed" and he has only impressed me even more ever since. His answers to the most important questions Piers asked were actually not intellectual, but relational.

That tells me he is not just extremely intelligent, but he is wise. I wish I could meet Stephen and sit down over a cup of coffee.

[TIMG]

I never thought I would say this but Piers is actually very good here. He asks a question and then listens to the answer without interrupting. Refreshing.

[dandrechesterfield]

As an atheist, these are the kind of conversations that make me question myself. Love it.

[Thrdknight]

Stephen Meyer- he reminds me of a Mr. Rogers with a PhD. Very good change of pace Piers. All the rancour and dark debates of our current Milieu, nice to zoom out and have an affirmative talk about what really matters. After losing someone close today, this was serendipitous to hear this pleasant conversation. I like Piers and Stephen am a Christian but faith is hard to hold when you are met everyday with the coldness of our world- but when I heard Stephen speaking so eloquently and personally he gave me just that little jolt of faith. Thanks. Well done!

[d.s.]

Loved the interview, the logic of why there is more likely a God than not was well represented. I have had numerous other incidences besides logic that cement the knowledge of a creator ever so strong in my conviction of faith.
I was working long hours, 16 to be exact and I drove 1 hr to and from work. On one occasion I fell asleep hard behind the wheel and of coarse I had no idea I was asleep until a very gentle woman's voice calmly said: "David wake up" When I opened my eyes, I was heading directly at the concrete pillar for an overhead bridge and because the voice was so calm I remained calm and gently steered the car back onto the road just missing the concrete pillar. After I had passed, my heart was racing and I was very shook up, but I will never forget that sweet voice who saved my life!

[romansfortunyr]

this is interesting, I lost my mother 3 years ago, I was honored to be at her side when this happened, and yes the experience is very interesting, it fell as if the time stopped and something, kinda hard to describe made perfect sense, I'm the 1st of 4 sons, and I live away so I had to commute to see her (so it felt as if she waited to say bye)....I had the pleasure to bid farewell to my mother, I came with the phrase, "my mother brought me from the nowhere into the here, and now is my time to bid her farewell into the everything"...I saw the last chapter and it felt good....but that brief instant where the physical world meets the spiritual baffles every one of us, and like mr Meyes says. nothing prepares you for the departure of your parents....yet I know I'll see her again

[Mamabear]

The concept of God transcends religious affiliations; it's not about choosing to believe in God, it's about acknowledging the existence of a higher power. This is distinct from religion, which is a matter of personal belief and choice.

[philosophercabin]

So nice to see people like Stephen Meyer on "mainstream" channels with a broad audience like Piers Morgan.

[chipesh]

As a young boy I would gaze at the stars and wonder. At 71 I gaze at the stars and wonder.
All I know is how little we know.
The "greatest" minds have always done likewise because they realise our mental limits..
One thing I know for certain, anyone who says that there is no "God" in the sense of some greater meaning to this "life" doesn't really think in anything but the shallowest of ways.
Look at the world, the stars, and wonder.

[stephenmacintosh]

4 mins 55 seconds into this interview Darwin's finches are mentioned by Mr. Meyer. He stated that their beaks changed in response to weather patterns. Oh deary me.
