Summary

On today’s ID the Future, Oxford’s John Lennox, Lehigh University’s Michael Behe, and Darwin’s Doubt author Stephen Meyer continue a probing conversation with host Peter Robinson on what they see as the growing evidence for intelligent design and the scientific and philosophical problems with Darwinian materialism. In this second half of their discussion, the foursome touch on everything from the genetic code and molecular biological machines to design reasoning, the history and philosophy of science, and what Meyer refers to as “Darwin’s other doubt.” Tune into to catch the many fascinating twists and turns in their conversation. And for additional stimulating content from Peter Robinson, head over to the “Uncommon Knowledge 2023” playlist on YouTube. This interview appears here with Read More ›

0:12.0	Greetings and welcome to the show. Today we're happy to share with you the second
0:16.9	half of a wide-ranging conversation with philosopher of science Stephen Meyer,
0:21.5	biochemist Michael Bihy, and mathematician John Lennox.
0:26.1	The conversation originally aired on Uncommon Knowledge, and we're grateful to host Peter Robinson
0:31.4	and the Hoover Institution for their permission to share it with ID the future
0:35.0	listeners.
0:36.8	In the interview, Meyer, Behe and Lennox take turns pointing out the flaws in Darwin's theory, and they report on the latest scientific
0:44.7	evidence that points to an intentional design of the physical world.
0:49.7	As we begin the second half, the conversation is moving toward the positive evidence for intelligent design.
0:56.0	Peter speaks first, showing all three of his guests two images, Darwin's branching tree drawing, and Heckel's evolution of man tree illustration, and posing
1:06.9	a question of comparison.
1:09.2	Let's continue listening.
1:10.2	Now we begin, we approach, we're getting to the subject, which I've been trying to hold off because we're now getting close to this notion of intelligent design.
1:19.0	I want to show you two images.
1:21.0	Serious question, which image is more scientific? Which image contains more
1:27.9	information? Which image contains more reality? Here's image one and there's image two. Serious question, which
1:36.8	contains more information? I'll take a stab at that. Yeah, sure. I think we've been mainly offering criticism of Darwinism so far in this interview
1:47.6	but all of us are sympathetic to the idea that there is evidence in the natural world of the activity of a mind.
1:55.2	John puts it one way, he talks about a top-down infusion of information in the biosphere,
1:59.4	Mike and I talk about the concept of intelligent design, but there is, I think, a powerful scientific case
