Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Folks, this is hour two.

I'm talking to Dr. Stephen Meyer, whose brand new book is called The Return of the God Hypothesis.

Stephen, this is big news.

You are saying that the preponderance of evidence has led us to a place where we have to

scientifically talk about God. In other words, we might have ignored it. We have

ignored it. Lots of people have ignored it. But it's become impossible. And you say there are three

reasons, the Big Bang, evidence of intelligent design, and the complexity of a single cell.

We didn't know these things in the way that we do now. Do you think people will

take this book seriously who wouldn't have taken this ID seriously? Do you have any indications

that folks out there who are not on the same page as you are would be open to this thesis?

Well, we've sent the book out for pre-review and possible endorsement to a wide variety of

scientists. We've gotten some very nice endorsements, including one from a Nobel Prize-winning

physicist, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Cambridge University. So I think the argument's getting

some traction. These three evidences, the universe had a beginning, the fine-tuning of the universe

from the beginning, and then the big bursts of digital information into our

biosphere over time have, I think in each case, put the materialist on the defensive

in trying to explain these things. And so I think we will get

some traction with this argument. Well, folks like Francis Collins and others with the Biologos

Foundation, they have a different view on a number of these things, obviously not the Big Bang,

but with regard to the fine-tuning and with regard to

the DNA, this explosion of evidence, I guess, where are they?
