THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Debates by Stephen Meyer

Here is an excellent post by Mike Felker listing debate by Stephen Meyer. Meyer is an excellent scientist, writer, and debater. I thoroughly enjoy his work on Intelligent Design. I'd like to see him debate Richard Dawkins. (I can dream can't I? By some miracle, Dawkins might evolve and grow a proverbial backbone.) . I'm glad Mike posted this list. Please follow the link to see it.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Debates by Stephen Meyer

Can DNA Prove the Existence of an Intelligent Designer? « Biola Magazine

This is an awesome Interview

In the growing movement known as intelligent design, Stephen Meyer is an emerging figurehead. A young, Cambridge-educated philosopher of science, Meyer is director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute — intelligent design’s primary intellectual and scientific headquarters. He’s also author of Signature in the Cell, a provocative new book that offers the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design.
On May 14, Meyer gave a lecture at an event hosted by Biola's Christian apologetics program in Chase Gymnasium, where he made his case that the origin of the information needed to create the first cell must have came from an intelligent designer. Biola Magazine sat down with Meyer while he was at Biola and asked him to elaborate on evolution, the scientific merit of the theory of intelligent design and the uncanny similarities between DNA and computer programming.

I highly suggest reading the article but also I find the comments very telling. There are several comments made by people who embrace evolution form an atheistic worldview. Their attitude amazes me. It's like Evolution has to be so fundamentally true that only morons don't believe it or question it. At the same time they take the attitude that theists are biased  because scientists are supposed to "question and test everything". It's also amazing that none of the critical comments I says said anything like "I read Meyer's book and he is wrong on  a certain page and here is why."  No, he's wrong because he challenges their worldview.

The thing that amazes me about the people who hate intelligent design is that they expect us to believe that all of  nature in its myriad of complexities, structure, and shape - awesome as it is - came into being without a mind behind it. I'm a computer programmer and no computer program comes into existence without a mind. Why would DNA or anything we see in nature be any different?

Stand to Reason Blog: Sproul & Meyer Discuss ID

I saw a tweet from Brian of Apologetics 315 blog. It is an interview from the Stand to Reason blog. RC Sproul interviews Stephen Meyer on the philosophy and science behind Intelligent Design and why it points to the God of the Bible. This is real awesome and worth watching.

Apologetics 315: Signature in the Cell Discussion: Meyer, Berlinski, Woodward & Medved

This is a great discussion! I thank Brian for pointing it out on his Apologetics 315 blog. I really, really enjoyed. This. Go to the link to find the post Brian made and to hear why these intelligent people are skeptical of evolution and believe that the universe had a designer. Unfortunately I could not find a video of the discussion but I did find a video showing what the overall point of Meyer's book Signature in the Cell is.

Apologetics 315: Origins of Life Debate MP3 Audio: Meyer, Sternberg, Prothero, Shermer

 Here is a great debate! I've been looking forward to seeing debates regarding Neo-Darwinism vs Intelligent Design. We need more of these. We need to see debates where both sides presents their sides - evidence! This one is a keeper!

Truthbomb Apologetics: The Goliath of Neo-Darwinism vs. The David of Intelligent Design

On his blog, Truthbomb Apologetics, Chad has summarized some great resources in the latest news on the ongoing debate between those who reject the existence of God and those who favor the idea that God created the universe. I like the term that Chad used: Neo-Darwinism. It's in use today but not all over. It'snot the same as the theories published by Charles Darwin, and has a way more atheistic bent and agenda. As for Intelligent design not all of its proponents believe that the intelligent designer is God - crazy as that is. I mean Richard Dawkins and others would either deny the blatant designed reality all around us or postulate extraterrestrial advanced civilizations seeding life on earth rather than fall down and worship God. Sad really. Here are two debates and comments of people from both sides. Take a look at the link. It's definitely a Goliath-size opponent we are facing, but just like God gave David Goliath's behind on a silver-platter, He will also show Neo-Darwinism for the farce that it truly is.

Signature in the Cell MP3 Audio by Stephen Meyer - Apologetics 315

On the Apologetics 315 blog, there is a lecture by Stephen Meyer. Meyer is talking about the digital code embedded in the DNA of living cells. Meyer does a great job. No one disputes that the way information is encoded in our DNA is nothing short of astonishing. In some ways it is more efficient than our best information systems. Our computers are based on binary codes. DNA is based on twice as many bases. Binary is based on 0 and 1 but DNA has 4 bases. This means that much more information can be encoded. Meyer argues that everyone agrees that information can only be assembled and encoded by intelligence not material processes. I agree. No one picks up a book and assumes that the words and information contained in it shows up out of no where by chance. We automatically know that someone wrote it. Or when we run computer software we know that someone wrote it. Why would we assume DNA was different. Meyer did a great Job. Take a listen.
