Stephen Meyer on The Story of Everything and the Case for a Designer

Stephen Meyer, author, philosopher of science, and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, has spent decades making the case that the universe points unmistakably to a designing mind. The Story of Everything is the cinematic adaptation of his book Return of the God Hypothesis, four years in the making and releasing in theaters April 30, bringing together 22 scientists and scholars to walk audiences through the discoveries that are pulling even skeptics back toward theism.

Scientific evidence, intelligent design, and the digital code inside every living cell: Stephen walks through his three core arguments, the universe's finite beginning, the fine-tuning that made life possible against all odds, and the four-character digital code embedded in DNA that Bill Gates himself has compared to software more complex than anything humans have ever written. He also shares how he talks about this with Uber drivers and seatmates on airplanes, why college students are having their faith mocked out of them in university classrooms, and why he believes this film gives both believers and skeptics something they genuinely need.

Highlights

• Why the idea of a designer behind the universe was the dominant view from ancient Greece through the scientific revolution
• How Darwin, Marx, and Freud together shifted the intellectual world toward materialism in the late 19th century
• The three arguments from Return of the God Hypothesis, a beginning, fine-tuning, and digital information in DNA
• Why Bill Gates' comparison of DNA to software is one of Meyer's most powerful 30-second arguments
• What the impasse in origin-of-life research reveals, and why chemistry simply does not move toward life on its own
• Why this film is something Christians can bring their skeptical friends to without fear
