The Cosmic Scrabble
Description
Continuing on the previous episode with the review of Stephen C. Meyer's book Return of God Hypothesis. This one goes over the impossible odds of assembling proteins or DNA to either begin or evolve life. Then, it goes over the digital or symbolic nature of information that encodes life and explains why natural laws in their ontological essence cannot produce such information. We distinguish orderliness of the type produced by natural laws with that produced by functional design seen in written language, computer code, or DNA code. We explain why the inference of intelligent design is the obvious conclusion arising from strictest standards of logic. This inference was the norm for the great founders of modern science, so why is it no longer the norm with us?
