'There Was a Beginning': Famous Geophysicist Explains Why Christian Creation Theory Makes Sense, Even Though He's Not a Christian"Intelligent design is telling us that life and the universe were designed—that's also something you would find affirmed in the theistic religious traditions. There are overlapping areas of interest, and increasingly, what we've found is that there is increasing agreement as we've understood the science better." -Stephen C. Meyer, geophysicist
In addition, contrary to many within his discipline, Meyer believes that the scientific study of the origins of the universe has a great number of things in common with the central tenets of theistic beliefs. In a wide-ranging interview on the Ben Shapiro Show, Meyer also criticized Darwin's evolutionary theory as being unable to answer the biggest question of all—how did life actually begin? Intelligent Design vs. Creationism "Creationism is an interpretation from religious authority, whereas intelligent design is an inference from biological and physical, cosmological evidence," Meyer noted of the differences between the two belief systems. "One starts from data of the natural world, one starts from Scripture." In addition, Meyer said, most creationists "hold to the view that the earth is very young—created maybe 10,000 years ago," before qualifying that he himself is an "old earth" guy. Interestingly, despite evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin often being heralded as the enemy of those who believe in a Creator God, for Meyer, Darwin modeled what it meant to investigate the big questions of life with rigor and scientific integrity. Despite following Darwin's scientific method, however, Meyer came to very different conclusions. Darwin had a "principle of reasoning" that he used to help him understand cause and effect on some of the biggest questions of life. "It is possible to formulate a case for intelligent design in a strictly scientific manner," Meyer said. "When we think about the origin of information, it always arises from an intelligent source." Whether it is a "hieroglyphic inscription, a paragraph in a book, or information embedded in a radio signal, whenever you find information, you trace it back to its source, you always come to a mind not a process," Meyer explained. In studying the issue, Meyer, who wrote a PhD on the "origin of life problem" at Cambridge University, said that by using the Darwinian method of reasoning, he "came to a different, non-Darwinian conclusion—that there is evidence of intelligent design"...
