This is tremendous! It really is an issue of folk perfering darkness than the light of truth. Way to go Dr!

As a religious person, I see that science backs up creation. I don't believe in the literal 24 hr period...as the bible says over and over again God's days range from 1000 years to 'periods' or time... such as in the creative days

Meyer’s brain was elegantly miraculously designed.

It's not the bits and pieces that make it powerful, it's the interaction between those bits and pieces.

I need to get that book in a complete format

Thank God for "Return of the God Hypothesis." The failure to consider the Laws of Nature as inseparable from the Laws of Nature's God in proper scientific research and application is destroying society.

From Lehigh University
Department position on evolution and "intelligent design"
The faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences is committed to the highest standards of scientific integrity and academic function. This commitment carries with it unwavering support for academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas. It also demands the utmost respect for the scientific method, integrity in the conduct of research, and recognition that the validity of any scientific model comes only as a result of rational hypothesis testing, sound experimentation, and findings that can be replicated by others.
The department faculty, then, are unequivocal in their support of evolutionary theory, which has its roots in the seminal work of Charles Darwin and has been supported by findings accumulated over 140 years. The sole dissenter from this position, Prof. Michael Behe, is a well-known proponent of "intelligent design." While we respect Prof. Behe's right to express his views, they are his alone and are in no way endorsed by the department. It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally, and should not be regarded as scientific.

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

25:38 Unguided evolution theory for silicon: How long will I have to wait for my Apple II and Commodore 64 to evolve into an Intel I7 PC with Nvidia graphics accelleration?
Billions of clock cycles have elapsed on these old CPUs and I see no progress made yet ☺

Keep educating us gentlemen. Thank you for this video

[pattiharrison]

Thank you. This makes so much sense to me.

[peli_candude]

Interesting angle for sure.

I remember watching Stephen Meyer when I first started researching evolution and other aspects of what the atheist contingent was using for arguments. Dr Meyer's presentation on Intelligent Design was like a shot of adrenaline to an athlete struggling to finish a race respectively and launched my belief into sub Theological orbit...much below God but much above the atheist level of understanding.

The more you know the more you can know. Why should we think that there does not exist intelligence that knows it all! We are just growing intelligence put in the dark for our own schooling. The best schooling is hands on experience; having to figure things out of your own desire and necessity to learn, to solve. At death, school is out for kindergarteners. You go home. Intelligence raises intelligence. That is the pattern we see in the life all around us.

[blindlemon]

Stephen Meyer is a brilliant scientist/philosopher. He is really our greatest hope of bringing some form of ID Into the scientific mainstream, and he is a strong antidote to the tired maxim of absolute materialist reductionism being the sole source of truth in the universe. I just wish that the prayer at the beginning could have been excised from the video, not because it offends me—I am a person of faith—but because it will automatically close many scientific minds.

[bartleysawatsky]

Thank God for Stephen C Meyer! He's not only brilliant, but articulate. He and his co-authors of Theistic Evolution have finally pushed back against the flawed theory of Neo-Darwinism. I hope the book continues to sell and that church wakes up to the fact that they need not sell out the Scripture in order to accommodate bad science.
