2847: DNA Is More Complex Than Any Software Ever Written. So Who Wrote It? | Stephen Meyer
Stephen Meyer, Cambridge PhD and director at the Discovery Institute, outlines a scientific case for a designing mind. He discusses cosmology’s evidence for a cosmic beginning, cosmic fine-tuning, DNA as information like software, the Cambrian explosion, molecular machines, and why materialism struggles to explain these observations.

Stephen Meyer, John Lennox, and James Tour: Three Scientists on the Origins of Everything | Peter Robinson | Hoover Institution
James Tour, a synthetic chemist probing origin-of-life chemistry; John Lennox, an Oxford mathematician exploring cosmology and faith; Stephen Meyer, a philosopher of science focused on intelligent design. They discuss cosmic beginnings, fine-tuning of constants, the information in DNA, chemical challenges to spontaneous life, and whether these clues point to an intelligent cause.

Is Atheism Dead? 3 Scientific Arguments for God They Can’t Explain
Stephen C. Meyer, philosopher of science and author known for books on origins and intelligent design, joins to explore three scientific arguments pointing to a hidden hand. He unpacks fine-tuning at three levels. They critique multiverse and simulation replies. They discuss DNA as information, origin-of-life challenges, and why some scientists reconsider the God hypothesis.

Why Does 2 + 2 = 4? What Math Teaches Us About Deep Reality | Peter Robinson | Hoover Institution
Join Sergiu Klainerman, a Princeton mathematician known for his work on black holes, David Berlinski, a philosophical writer and math educator, and Stephen Meyer, director at the Discovery Institute, as they delve into the profound mystery of mathematics. They debate if math is invented or discovered, discuss the 'unreasonable effectiveness' of math in physics, and contemplate its implications for materialism. The conversation intertwines concepts of beauty in science, the nature of reality, and whether numbers hint at a deeper, perhaps transcendent, truth.

“Pick your Poison”: Naturalism’s Cosmological Dilemma
Stephen Meyer, philosopher of science and author who defends intelligent design, returns to unpack a “pick your poison” dilemma in cosmology. He contrasts beginnings vs. infinite models and argues alternatives carry hidden costs. Short, sharp takes on Penrose, quantum cosmology, and why proliferating models matter.
