The contemporary media portrays the relationship between science and Christianity as one of perpetual conflict and warfare. But it was not always so, as many of the most prominent scientists in history were faithful Christians. In this message, Dr. Stephen Meyer explains why the two, when properly understood, are not in conflict and reminds us that Scripture and creation can never ultimately contradict each other.

This message is from our 2012 National Conference, The Christian Mind:    • The Christian Mind: 2012 National Con...

  • Excelente, Dios es increible, no solo utiliza su Palabra para que podamos conocerlo, sino, nuestra inteligencia (la de los hombres de ciencia) para revelarse, pero como las escrituras enseñan, el hombre prefiere ser necio y negar lo evidente, que Dios es quien nos creo, y envio a su Hijo en la mision de rescate mas increible, para que quienes crean en su Hijo, tengan vida eterna. Gloria al Padre, al Hijo y al Espiritu Santo.

    This is the best argument for " intelligent design" that I've ever heard. And I'm a long- term atheist. Over 50 years. Can't refute it.

    Before I went to college, I knew that my faith would be challenged. Forewarned was forearmed, so I got through my education years with faith intact.
  • Awesome. Thanks I am a computer scientist, a software designer (programmer), with IBM for thirty years. I can personally affirm that information 'always' comes from mind, not from naturalistic unguided processes. John says, in the Bible (NT), in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things through Him became, and without Him became not one thing that has become. This is profound. When we see the ACTG information coding in the double helix we are in fact looking directly at the mind of God; at the Word encoded in flesh. This is profound. This is the Word of the Lord, thanks be to God. marcus

    Awesome, thanks so much. I became a Christian in 1979, just before finishing my PhD in chemistry. Science was less advanced then, but it did not take long for evolution to be demolished in my mind. I have tried to keep up with the progress ever since, and it is amazing. Love the argument from informatics.
  • One of the rare ones, I call, "A Great One"; and, it's well-deserved! Peace & Blessings!
  • Magnificent lecture and so very important in today's secular world. I'm currently reading Darwin's Doubt and The Return of The God Hypothesis. Thank you so much. And thank you Lord, for this man.

    Drew Berry’s animations of DNA replication and other processes are really astounding. I’m equally astounded that people who understand the intricate goings on inside us still believe it all came about by chance.

    “Science has had an extraordinary success in tracing the chain of cause and effect back-wards in time. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the highest rock, he is greeted by a bunch of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” Robert Jastrow.
  • This is just beautiful - the Eternal "MIND OF GOD" has always been -- is and shall forever "BE"!" TO BE OR NOT TO BE - That Is The Question!" Thank you, I have enjoyed your lecture and your humor. Seattle is beautiful, and from the looks of things -. we must include your intelligent Mind. Thank you. I am going to listen to your lecture again.
  • 24:40 I didn't lose my faith in God in my freshman year. I lost my faith in "higher education". I haven't been back.
  • What can we know about God by looking at His handy work, He Is & He's Magnificent!
  • @timmartin3927
    Thank you for this presentation. I have read Signature in the Cell. I will get your latest book soon.

    I would define 'science' as something like, 'The systematic study of and derivation of knowledge and wisdom from the physical things that God made and the physical laws that he put in place to govern them. Science is an outworking of the dominion mandate that God gave Adam in the Garden of Eden and is undertaken principally to show forth the glory of God in his works and to benefit one's fellow man made in God's image.' There is no conflict between true science and true religion. Not when you start with God and work down to man from there. When you exclude God from 'science', you're throwing away the priceless crown while getting excited about the cardboard box it came in. I love Steven Meyer. I read 'Back to the God Hypothesis' and will read it again. So much solid meat there. Steven really is a gift to Christ's Church.
