Recorded on October 15, 2022, in Fiesole, Italy.
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). In this wide-ranging conversation, they point out the flaws in Darwin’s theory and the increasing amount of evidence uncovered by a rigorous application of the scientific method that points to an intentional design and creation of the physical world.

Absolutely correct. We need more of the Robinsons, Petersons, and other intellectuals of this caliber to speak out on how to think. The main thing universities should but refuse to teach. Thank you gentlemen. With absolute gratitude.

I find it very interesting how Peter has managed to integrate Stephen in a broader discussion with other experts to explore and ventilate the subjects so eloquently but still technically described in his books which might otherwise have been confined to a very narrow group of readers with technical or scientific beckgrounds. Good Job Peter! Always a pleasure listening to you as an interviewer.

When I took anatomy and physiology I was amazed at how all the cells in the immune system know what to do, how all the cells in the human body know what to do to keep the body as a whole functioning. It’s intricate and in a way beautiful.

Thank you so much for such a word class interview with world class participants. I must say it was a wonderful follow-up to, in my opinion being a Christian, a anticlimactic interview last episode. I appreciate Murray and Holland having read them but themselves not being Christians (yet) won't go near the logical ends of their own work.

It's such a gift to us to be able to listen to such conversations as if we were students and learn from those who have really STUDIED those who made important discoveries in the past and didn't get their information from wikipedia. It stimulates to do the same and begin to read by myself. Thank you, Mr. Robinson for being that great host that you are!

Thank you! I remember my older Brother telling me of his intellectual conflict with his Biology Teacher at St. Peters College in Australia. In a nutshell he disagreed, or questioned, with what his Biology Teacher was positing, which was that genetic mutation in a species to make it more efficient or give it more survivability is random and by chance. My Brother asked "What is it that decides this is the best mutation or that mutation should even occur?" His teacher said it is just chance. My Brother said "surely there must be some intelligence that decided to mutate the DNA and how best to mutate?" He was kicked out of his class. I remember a good example of intelligent mutation of moths in England. These moths inhabited and survived in a small area in England that used to be an industrial coal mining area. The original moths survived being white of colour as the bark on the trees were white, when the area became industrialised the bark turned black. Meaning the moths could no longer attach to a tree trunk and be hidden from predators. They were picked off very easily by birds, white moth on dark bark stood out. What happened is fascinating, the following generations of moths became dark in colour to be able to blend in to the now dark bark, not just a darker colour but perfectly the same colour of the bark. The white moths died out and the whole species, maybe some exceptions, became perfectly resonant with their environment to ensure its survival as a species. Now, these materialist scientists say it is random and chance. I posit absolutely not. Somehow there was a specific choice beyond the moths mental apparatus to mutate and mutate specifically. They didn't mutate to green, pink or blue. They don't even see colour like we can, same as octopus being able to change colour, it's the frequency and vibration that they sense, all is that anyway, but curious that these moths mutated perfectly without any trial and error. What I think we will notice more and more in so called Science, is like you gentlemen mentioned we must expand our scope which can help to narrow down our understanding. I posit that this evolutionary jump in science will be the 'consideration' that Consciousness (what ever that is) will be found to be the basis and foundation of creation. In everything and connected to EVERYTHING. There is an old saying from Ancient Hermetics, "The Universe is Mental". You can find a book written anonymously in 1908 I think, "The Kybalion" the Authors were "Written by Three Initiates". They state that the Universe is Mental, or Mind, which to me means Consciousness. There is also an interesting statement that sometimes I say incorrectly but it stayed with me and elucidates that there is no such thing as "Separation" in the Universe, everything is intrinsically connected and that there is some kind of higher Being. I'll attempt it, ok so... "All is in 'THE ALL',....and 'THE ALL' is in All." I love that, took me a while to absorb, can't be done only intellectually, it must be understood experientially as well, mind-body-consciousness (or soul) Holy Trinity...........Light-Sound-Geometry, all express frequency and wavelength. And all the same thing, just expressed uniquely. That is the new language. All understood through Math but it isn't just that. Math is the lens to see through to listen to what the Universe is telling us. There is something beyond all of this, and whatever it is, is Unknowable. But it can be experienced. Words aren't needed and quite useless lol. Thank you for this experience hearing all four of you, Love it!

I am not highly educated and stumbled across this. Wow. I have been totally blown away by what these people had to say. I was certain that the theory of evolution was untouchable, and that the concept of intelligent design was all about religious people clinging to their beliefs. After listening to this it seems to me that science may be moving to support the concept of some kind of intelligent design.

I listened to this podcast on the way back from bringing my daughter back from University. I went past my very familiar exit, driving until I looked up and saw I had driven 40 minutes past my turn. I am indeed a Christian though I don't *need* intelligent design to justify my faith, I'm interested in ID for just the reasons these gentlemen articulate very well. It seems that proponents of natural selection with no consideration for intelligent input have much greater faith than I do. I understand the reasoning for keeping things within the scientifically observable but there are many aspects to nature and life are woefully, inadequately explained by Darwinism. The apparent abject refusal to consider intelligence even when it seems favored by the evidence is puzzling to me. Of course not a biologist my attention is on the things in life that seem very intentional and don't really ring of purely random influence, such as generally perfect symmetry of almost all living things, the absence of random spare parts, the fact that ALL species that I can recollect seem to be very much in a state of not just completion but elegance and purpose. I would really like to see a respectful, dignified debate with these gentlemen and some Darwinian scientists. PS one outcome from this was an appreciation for Darwin's honesty and self imposed vulnerability regarding his theories.

The entire creation from the heavens to the tiniest, simplest elements of life can be envisioned in the same manner. I would ask, in the cellular model, what would be the equivalent of the negative, even criminal elements in a city? Would that correspond to disease, genetic abnormalities, etc.? Thank you for honoring God, the Creator of all things, in this discussion. May He be glorified!
