The Origin of Life on Earth with @DrStephenMeyer : Lab + Information = Mind

In this interview, Dr. James Tour and Dr. Stephen Meyer discuss science and faith, while getting into the details on the discovery of complex, sequence specific information required for life's function and origin, and the required fine-tuned laboratory that we call our universe that must exist in order for assembly to occur.

From our repeat and uniform experience, Meyer says, we know of only one cause having such power to produce this type of information: an intelligent agent—a mind. By reference to the evidence provided by our human intelligence, and by surveying the probabilistic resources available in our universe, Meyer then makes a positive argument for a greater Designing Intelligence of this universal "set up job" in which life came to be. ~~~ Dr. Stephen C.
