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.

Subscribe to their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/CityRiseOrg In the search to find the cause for life's origin and function, Meyer presents historical scientific methods used by Charles Darwin himself and his mentor Lyell, positing the question: "What causes now in operation are known to produce such effects as these?" and "What has the causal power to create the laboratory conditions we find on our rare planet and also the biological information encoded in digital form, that when decoded and translated, performs a function in lieu of its specific arrangement?" 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.
