Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe. Meyer argues that theism — with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator — best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Trevor on March 31, 2021

If you follow Stephen C. Meyer, then whether you are friend or foe, you likely know what to expect from this book. I do want to try to tailor this review to the person that might not know what to expect, but I also think it only fair to disclose my bias. I have been following Dr. Meyer for some time......more

Goodreads review by Aberdeen on January 31, 2023

A brilliant book. It is a journey not only through three fields of science—cosmology, physics, and biology—but the history of science and philosophy of science, complete with a chapter on “how to assess a metaphysical claim” and an introduction to Bayesian probability analysis. If that sentence make......more

Goodreads review by John on January 15, 2024

As a philosopher of science, rather than an astrophysicist, Stephen Meyer provides a different take on some Big Questions. That is, he's well trained with a PhD from Cambridge--following a first career in digital applications of geology--to tackle creative intelligence as the most logical explanatio......more

Goodreads review by Zak on June 21, 2021

If you are like me, with a spiritual seeking revivified by the psychological arguments about God from Victor Frankl, Carl Jung, or jordan peterson, you will be fantastically disappointed. When I realized Meyer would spend the entire book resorting to a classic “god of the gaps” angle of argumentatio......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on September 09, 2024

Before I review the book, I want to confess that I am not a scientist, nor strong in science and math. If I don't word statements in the review quite scientifically, it is my fault, not Dr. Meyer's. Terms like quarks, fermion, abduction, cyclic ekpyrotic model, inflationary string landscape hypothes......more
