Hoover Institution: “Michael Behe, John Lennox, and Steven Meyer are three of the leading voices in science and academia on the case for an intelligent designer of the universe and everything in it (including us).
At Mind Matters News: A recent Big Bang debate: Sheer politeness underscores shakeup
Such sudden, widespread cosmological doubt is bound to have a major cultural impact.
At Mind Matters News: Has a superintellect monkeyed with our universe’s physics?
Takehome: It got worse for Hoyle: To form carbon at all, gravitational forces must be balanced just right with the electromagnetic forces. That’s just the start…
Jerry Coyne weighs in against Steve Meyer in Newsweek
Coyne couldn’t prevent it but he can at least trash it. We like this state of affairs.
At Socrates in the City: Eric Metaxas and Stephen Meyer Tackle Science and God
Meyer is author of “The Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries that Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe.” Eric Metaxas is a radio talk show host and author of Is Atheism Dead?
Steve Meyer on the logic of design detection
A great deal has been invested in not understanding something as simple and obvious as the design inference. That’s powerful evidence that it is an important insight.
Steve Meyer on whether extraterrestrials created life, as opposed to an intelligence outside nature
“Yet those who propose panspermia have not explained, or even seriously grappled with, the problem of the origin of specified biological information.” – Meyer No, but they don’t need to, do they? Their seamless blend of science fiction and non-fiction would be rudely interrupted by needless complexities in the plot…
Steve Meyer on why a supposed multiverse is no answer to the extreme fine-tuning of our universe
Meyer on multiverse cosmologists: “The speculative cosmologies (such as inflationary cosmology and string theory) they propose for generating alternative universes invariably invoke mechanisms that themselves require fine-tuning, thus begging the question as to the origin of that prior fine-tuning.”
Fine tuning of the universe: “Who Ya Gonna Believe Me or Your Own Eyes?”
So Larry Krauss argues “cosmological fine-tuning does not provide evidence of intelligent design, but instead, ‘the illusion of intelligent design.’” Isn’t that a misuse of the concept of illusion? Doesn’t it amount to saying, Who Ya Gonna Believe Me or Your Own Eyes?
Noted at Hillfaith: Atheists’ books show that God must exist

At Theology Unleashed: Philosophical objections to intelligent design
Note: Re Theology Unleashed as a Hindu site. Lots of people are now finding a voice to question materialism, naturalism, physicalism, and Darwinism.
At Claremont Review of Books: “The God Hypothesis should be considered as a possible explanation for our universe.”
Reviewer: Meyer argues that the materialist assumption now poses an obstruction to understanding, compelling scientists to embrace implausible and untestable hypotheses as a defense against the God hypothesis… But Gelernter and Nagel make a good case that religious zealotry, and a refusal to debate the facts honestly, now characterize Meyer’s opponents more than they do Meyer and his supporters.
