Can we prove the existence of God, or are we left to grapple in the dark and take blind leaps of faith about what we believe? Everyone asks these questions, and maybe you think you have the answers. But can you defend your beliefs when peers and professors are challenging your worldview? Dr. Stephen Meyer helps you examine the evidence and provides the tools needed to defend your faith and make it your own. This 64-page full-color discussion guide is designed to be used with the TrueU: Does God Exist? DVD kit (978-1-58997-339-8). Sold separately, this book is filled with discussion questions designed to dig deeper into the ten 30-minute lessons featured on the DVDs. As you examine and discuss the evidence, you will be better equipped to defend your faith in an increasingly hostile culture. This book is also available in a 10-pack (978-1-58997-116-5).
Author Biography
Dr. Stephen C. Meyer is director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture (CSC) and a founder both of the intelligent design movement and of the CSC, intelligent design's primary intellectual and scientific headquarters. Dr. Meyer is a Cambridge University-trained philosopher of science and the author of peer-reviewed publications in technical, scientific, and philosophical books and journals. He has been widely featured in media appearances on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News, PBS, and the BBC. In 2008, he appeared with Ben Stein in Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. He's also featured prominently in two other science documentaries, Icons of Evolution and Unlocking the Mystery of Life.
Meyer's research goes to the very source of the mystery of life: its origin, and more specifically the origin of biological information as represented in DNA. Signature in the Cell, published by HarperOne in June 2009, presents a radical and comprehensive new case, revealing the evidence not merely of individual features of biological complexity but of a fundamental constituent of the universe, namely information. Meyer's work in biological information represents the cutting edge of the argument for design.
