Can Science Point to God? Stephen Meyer and Michael Shermer

In this conversation, intelligent design scientist Dr. Stephen Meyer and skeptic Dr. Michael Shermer discuss one of history’s biggest questions: can science point to the existence of God?

Meyer brings scientific arguments for a Creator. Shermer pushes back from a naturalist worldview. They cover mathematics and theism, the intelligibility of the universe, faith and evidence, and the search for meaning, in a friendly “iron sharpens iron” exchange.
