Stephen Meyer recently did an Uncommon Knowledge podcast interview with Peter Robinson of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution about his new book Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe. I took a week off for Easter and read the book during the holiday — it’s another masterpiece from Meyer. He breaks new ground in showing that not only do materialists smuggle in information when trying to explain the origin of biological complexity, but they do the same thing when seeking to explain how the universe arose from “nothing,” or when they appeal to the “multiverse” to explain away cosmic fine-tuning.
Virtually everywhere we observe the same pattern: information is at the foundation of nature’s complexity, and information requires an intelligent cause. Materialists who purport to explain the origin of that complexity by smuggling in information unwittingly demonstrate the need for intelligent design. That’s Meyer’s argument in a nutshell, but you’ll have to read the book to fully appreciate it.
