The interesting thing is that the blind, pitiless indifference thing isn’t selling as well as it used to.

Steve Meyer on Darwin’s Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is how artsies came to embrace Darwinism. True, false, or indifferent, it practically illustrates itself. Good myths work that way. A problem arises when we are commanded by authorities to believe them.
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.
Multiverse theory makes science obsolete
Even Ockham’s Razor can’t mow down an infinite expanse of nonsense. Steve Meyer, author of The Return of the God Hypothesis, offers a summary of the problems.
Is Ethan Siegel’s Big Bang and Parallel Universes nonsense a response to Steve Meyer?
Now that Miller mentions it, several other anti-Big Bang tales have appeared recently. Perhaps the reason that all these stories seem extra-silly is that the authors are rattled.
Steve Meyer bids farewell to Steven Weinberg’s “purposeless cosmos” thesis in the Jerusalem Post
Casey Luskin looks at the controversy, in part based on time he has spent in Africa, working on South African fossils.
At Evolution News: Twilight of the Godless Universe
If so, fashionable atheists must all just want to kill Meyer for busting up a sweet faith-and-science racket. Whatever any establishment figure with a PhD in science wants to call science is science and obedient religion profs just bumble along, glad to be noticed. Actually, with all the stuff we have discovered that does not confirm just what everyone thinks, it’s a pretty decrepit racket now.
Jordan Peterson’s reflections on Twitter on reading Steve Meyer’s Return of the God Hypothesis
Jordan, if you believe Meyer is right or even partways right or is making a good case, stand your ground. You have already faced some of the most incomprehensibly vicious mobs that Cancel Culture has spewed and you are still standing. Follow the evidence, not the crybullies. You, of all people, can afford to and it would do immense good.
Humanist philosopher James Croft goes after Steve Meyer’s Return of God Hypothesis
But in an interesting, traditional way (no Cancel Culture, no weirdness, no hysterics).
Fish fins, Christian evolutionism, and the “things that just don’t change, come what may”
At Evolution News and Science Today, we learn that Darrel Falk is still around? Why do people care about Christian evolutionism when even the big Darwin guys like Kevin Laland are looking for non-Darwin answers?
Professional skeptic Michael Shermer takes on Stephen C. Meyer and his Return of God Hypothesis
In an age when the Raging Woke parasitize the world of ideas, banning everyone from Frank Turek through Richard Dawkins from public life (when not out setting fires and assaulting the non-Woke), it is worth nothing that Shermer’s 2020 book Giving the Devil His Due, is a defense of intellectual freedom.
Larry Krauss article at Inference Review – reply from Steve Meyer
Then, Larry Krauss responds. If you are stuck in some ridiculous lockdown, be sure to find a link to Inference Review and order in lots of good coffee.
BioLogos hosts Stephen Meyer to talk about his new book, Return of the God Hypothesis
Readers may recall Biologos as a theistic evolution confab, founded by, among others, genome mapper Francis Collins. Here’s both a podcast and transcript of an interview with Steve Meyer on The Return of the God Hypothesis. BioLogos Vice President Jim Stump is the host. There’s even a guide to the episode.
Free excerpt from Steve Meyer’s new book, Return of the God Hypothesis
Meyer: I was not surprised to hear outspoken atheists or scientific materialists explaining why they doubted the existence of God. What shocked me was the persuasive talks by other leading scientists who thought that recent discoveries in their own fields had decidedly theistic implications.
