Stephen C. Meyer

This episode of ID the Future features the second half of philosopher of science Stephen Meyer’s recent appearance on the Dennis Prager Show. Meyer and Prager discuss some of the critics of intelligent design who tie themselves in knots: Theistic evolutionists who claim life arose through a completely undirected process directed by God, and materialists who insist on a universe from “nothing,” but where “nothing” means something.

On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid reads a popular essay by philosopher of science Stephen Meyer on the detectability of intelligent design in nature. The article recently appeared in Sapientia, and here at Evolution News. In the piece, Meyer explains the logic by which we routinely know there’s been a creative intelligence at work. Meyer unpacks this logic in terms of information, which we can see clearly in the cell, but elsewhere in nature, too. He also shows how this detection method is an established part of the historical sciences.

On this episode of ID the Future, we hear from two contributors to the new Crossway anthology, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique, Molecular biologist Douglas Axe and philosopher of science Stephen Meyer explain how Carbon Valley Trumps Silicon Valley, and shouts intelligent design. They compare some of today’s technological marvels to living technology, and show how even “simple cells” far exceed even the best silicon valley has to offer.

On this episode of ID the Future, listen in as Wesley J. Smith and Stephen C. Meyer answer questions at a Washington D.C. event entitled “March for Science or March for Scientism? Understanding the Real Threats to Science in America.” Listen in as they discuss the politicization of science, and how these ideas are anti-human.

On this episode of ID the Future, hear Stephen C. Meyer’s talk given this April at the “March for Science or March for Scientism? Understanding the Real Threats to Science in America” event hosted by Discovery Institute and the Heritage Foundation. Listen in as he discusses weaknesses in the theory of neo-Darwinism.

This episode of ID the Future offers another sample from the new audio version of Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell. The previous podcast covered the first half of Chapter 1. Now the rest of the chapter. Here Meyer explains how he was introduced to the mystery of how DNA came to be, perspectives on origins science, and how these drew him to learn more through formal study.

On this episode of ID the Future, hear a segment from the new audiobook version of Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. What is information? And how does DNA pose a problem for Darwinism? Listen in and find out.

This episode of ID the Future offers another sample from the new audio version of Stephen Meyer’s bestselling Darwin’s Doubt. The previous podcast covered the first half of Chapter 1. Now the rest of the chapter. Here Meyer takes a closer look at Darwin’s early intellectual opponent, Louis Agassiz. Why did the great Harvard paleontologist reject Darwin’s theory? Was he really, as some argue, a hidebound traditionalist, too mired in minutia and German idealism to catch the new wave? Learn why the historical evidence paints a very different picture.

On this episode of ID the Future, hear a segment from the new audiobook version of Stephen Meyer’s New York Times bestseller Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design. What was the one clue Charles Darwin admitted he couldn’t explain? And who was his chief antagonist in the matter? Listen in and find out.
