Scientists and philosopher Stephen Meyer and chemist James Tour.

Uncommon Knowledge. I'm Peter Robinson. We're filming today in Fiesole, Italy.

Stephen Meyer earned his undergraduate degree at Whitworth College and his

doctorate in the History of Science at Cambridge. Now the director of the

Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute.

Dr. Meyer's books include Signature in the Cell,

Darwin's Doubt, and the Return of the God Hypothesis.

James Tour received his undergraduate degree at Syracuse University and his

doctorate in synthetic organic and organic metallic I can't even say what this field is in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry from Purdue. Now a professor at Rice University, Dr. Tours areas of research include nanoelectronics, graphing electronics,

silicon oxide electronics, and carbon research into what the Rice website terms

environmentally friendly oil and gas extraction, close quote.

Dr. Tours has published more than 1,000 peer reviewed research papers and holds several hundred patents.
