Dr. Stephen Meyer: Following Science Back to Faith (S12E42)

In this episode of the Self Brain Surgery Podcast, I have an inspiring conversation with Dr. Stephen Meyer, a world-renowned scientist and one of the founders of Intelligent Design.

We explore life's big questions regarding purpose and meaning, critiquing the materialistic view that life is merely a product of random processes. Dr. Meyer, with his extensive background in both geophysics and the philosophy of science, shares insights from his work, particularly his books Signature in the Cell, Darwin's Doubt, and The Return of the God Hypothesis.

We discuss how intelligent design offers a compelling explanation for the information-rich structures of life, countering traditional Darwinian evolution and the prevailing conflicts between science and faith. This episode aims to bridge the gap between science and theology, providing listeners with a hopeful perspective that integrates both fields.
