The Nicest Debate I Have Ever Heard. Michael Shermer of Skeptic Interviews/Debates Dr. Stephen Meyer. The Return of The God Hypothesis. Stephen Meyer—Return of God Hypothesis: 3 Scientific Discoveries Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief — that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, Meyer claims that discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. Shermer responds to each claim and a stimulating and enlightening conversation ensues.

It's as if We Have Been Under Foreign Totalitarian Occupation. Eric Metaxas, John Zmirak. The Eric Metaxas Show John Zmirak  Jan 24 2025   Other Episodes John Joins to discuss the the Inauguration    Article Mentioned- With Trump, America Inaugurated a Return Not to Faith, But to Reason https://stream.org/with-trump-america-inaugurated-a-return-not-to-faith-but-to-reason/   Books Mentioned- The Triumph of Reason by Rodney Stark The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success Hardcover – December 6, 2005 by Rodney Stark  Many books have been written about the success of the West, analyzing why Europe was able to pull ahead of the rest of the world by the end of the Middle Ages. The most common explanations cite the West's superior geography, commerce, and technology. Completely overlooked is the fact that faith in reason, rooted in Christianity's commitment to rational theology, made all these developments possible. Simply put, the conventional wisdom that Western success depended upon overcoming religious barriers to progress is utter nonsense. In The Victory of Reason, Rodney Stark advances a revolutionary, controversial, and long overdue idea: that Christianity and its related institutions are, in fact, directly responsible for the most significant intellectual, political, scientific, and economic breakthroughs of the past millennium. In Stark's view, what has propelled the West is not the tension between secular and nonsecular society, nor the pitting of science and the humanities against religious belief. Christian theology, Stark asserts, is the very font of reason: While the world's other great belief systems emphasized mystery, obedience, or introspection, Christianity alone embraced logic and reason as the path toward enlightenment, freedom, and progress. That is what made all the difference. In explaining the West's dominance, Stark convincingly debunks long-accepted “truths.” For instance, by contending that capitalism thrived centuries before there was a Protestant work ethic–or even Protestants–he counters the notion that the Protestant work ethic was responsible for kicking capitalism into overdrive. In the fifth century, Stark notes, Saint Augustine celebrated theological and material progress and the institution of “exuberant invention.” By contrast, long before Augustine, Aristotle had condemned commercial trade as “inconsistent with human virtue”–which helps further underscore that Augustine's times were not the Dark Ages but the incubator for the West's future glories. This is a sweeping, multifaceted survey that takes readers from the Old World to the New, from the past to the present, overturning along the way not only centuries of prejudiced scholarship but the antireligious bias of our own time. The Victory of Reason proves that what we most admire about our world–scientific progress, democratic rule, free commerce–is largely due to Christianity, through which we are all inheritors of this grand tradition.     The Return of the God Hypothosis by Steven Meyer Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe Hardcover – March 30, 2021 by Stephen C. Meyer (Author) The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin's Doubt, Stephen Meyer,presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology. Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe.  Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God.    Is Atheism Dead?  Eric Metaxas (Narrator, Author) Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows atheism not merely to be implausible and intellectually sloppy, but now demonstrably ridiculous. Perhaps the only unanswered question on the subject is why we couldn't see this sooner, and how embarrassed we should be about it.   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  John Zmirak makes his weekly appearance and covers current events and shares recent articles available at-   https://stream.org/author/johnzmirak/ Watch Eric Metaxas on Rumble-  https://rumble.com/c/TheEricMetaxasRadioShow  The Eric Metaxas Show- https://metaxastalk.com/podcasts/ Eric Metaxas Show on Apple Podcasts-    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-eric-metaxas-show/id991156680 Check out- Socrates in the City   Find All of John Zmirak Articles at- https://stream.org/author/johnzmirak/ John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or co-author of ten books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism.

It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   Zmirak further shows how today's mounting threats to the gun rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment are inexorably linked to the   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Phil Toledano, a man whose name has become synonymous with passion, creativity, and, of course, collecting. Known to many as Mr. Enthusiast, Phil is an artist, photographer, and a collector with a taste for the unconventional—his collections spanning watches & cars in a way that reflects his unique perspective on life and creativity. As an artist by trade, Phil has always approached collecting not just as a hobby but as an extension of his creative expression.Raised between London and Casablanca, his formative years gave him a truly global outlook, which is reflected in the way he curates his eclectic collection of cars and watches. In fact, it was a deeply personal moment—the day after his father passed away—that marked the beginning of his foray into car collecting, purchasing a Ferrari Dino in tribute to a man who, like him, had a profound connection to the world of art.Phil's creative journey has been anything but linear. After a career in advertising, he began to take his passion for collecting more seriously, moving from one obsession to the next, always searching for the unique and the unexpected. Phil's approach to collecting is as much about discovery and reinvention as it is about the items themselves. His own watch brand, Toledano & Chan, has garnered significant attention from collectors, affirming his place not just as a curator of fine things, but as a creator who deeply understands the culture of collecting.From the art he creates to the rare pieces he seeks, Phil's approach to life as an enthusiast is truly one-of-a-kind.So without further ado, Phil Toledano, aka Mr. Enthusiast, for Collectors Gene Radio.

Carmen Rossi is a successful serial entrepreneur who has launched over 70 businesses across various industries—hospitality, restaurants, real estate, cannabis, clothing, law, travel, and more. He also owns and operates some of the biggest nightclubs and restaurants in Chicago, along with iconic campus spots like KAMS and Red Lion. His secret? The ability to truly listen. Carmen has an unmatched talent for tuning into what people want and turning those desires into unforgettable experiences. That's his superpower, and it's fueled his extraordinary success. Carmen's entrepreneurial journey began early—in college, where he started a dormitory loft-building company, a painting company that hired fellow students, and a travel agency that sold over 1,000 spring break trips. Unlike the stereotypical innovator creating entirely new ideas, Carmen admits his strength lies in refining existing concepts and mastering their execution. It's this pragmatic approach that has guided him through trial and error, with an open embrace of failure. “Failure is welcomed here,” he says, seeing college as the perfect arena for experimentation and growth. Carmen's story offers not only inspiration but also valuable insight for anyone aspiring to make an impact in their communities. He emphasizes the importance of identifying unmet needs in neighborhoods before launching ventures, creating everything from vibrant sports bars to upscale dining experiences. His hospitality empire includes over 40 businesses, such as Hubbard Inn, Cardozo's Pub, The Joy District, The Dime, and HVAC Pub in Chicago. During this episode, Carmen shares his love for pop culture, his admiration for films like Risky Business and Yes Man, and his belief in amplifying social connections through business. He explores his philosophy of saying “yes” to new opportunities and creating ventures that bring people together in memorable ways. Carmen offers practical advice to young people, promoting the “rule of large numbers.” He encourages taking large-scale action and learning from setbacks. As he puts it, “I'm not going to ask two people out on dates, I'm going to ask 20. And if I get 20 rejections, I know I need to change the pitch.” Right after our conversation with Carmen, we were so inspired by his ideas that one of our own projects took off, going viral within a week. That's the power of Carmen has—he sparks immediate action and creativity in others. This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship for anyone looking to understand how to build and run multiple successful businesses. We were incredibly lucky to spend an evening with Carmen Rossi, and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. *EPISODE LINKS:* - Carmen Rossi's Company: https://8hospitality.com/ - Follow Carmen's latest venture, DIVAN: https://www.instagram.com/divanchicago - KAMS: https://www.instagram.com/kams_illini - Red Lion: https://www.instagram.com/redlionchampaign/ *OUTLINE:* 0:00 - Introduction 1:12 - Childhood 6:03 - Adult Conversations 11:20 - Aaryaman's American College Experience 16:55 - Carmen's First Impressions of UIUC. 20:50 - Carmen's First Business 28:41 - Carmen's Guide to Starting Successful Local Businesses 31:35 - How to Assemble a Team 37:56 - How to Discover Yourself in College? 43:29 - Ideas for Dates at UIUC 44:37 - Carmen's Regret: Not Studying Engineering 48:28 - The Business Carmen Would Start Today at UIUC 1:02:56 - How to Ask Someone Out 1:10:46 - Failure 1:15:23 - Listening 1:20:44 - Carmen's Playbook for Experience-Driven Businesses 1:29:18 - Building for Yourself or Others? 1:36:05 - Delegation 1:45:31 - Carmen's Advice for Juan David & Aaryaman 2:09:20 - Compete With Yourself, Not Your Peers 2:17:38 - Say Yes 2:21:21 - Carmen's Reflections on The UIUC Talkshow Experience 2:23:00 - Advice to young people

Mary Shelley was just 18 years old when the idea for Frankenstein struck her on a rainy night in Geneva, Switzerland. Cooped up on vacation with nonstop rain, famous poet Lord Byron had challenged the group of literary geniuses to come up with a ghost story. Mary struggled. She could think of nothing. Then one night, as she struggled to sleep, she was hit with what she referred to as a "waking dream." What followed would come to define the science fiction genre, both inspiring and horrifying readers for centuries to come. But who was Mary Shelley, the creator? Who was she to bear such a creature? How did she manage to embody all that horror, that pain, that grotesque abnormality, gothic morbidity? Well, the more you know about the life of Mary Shelley, the more it all makes sense.

The fact is, says Dr. Stephen Meyer, "The major discoveries of modern science over the last 100 years in cosmology and physics and biology are pointing in exactly the opposite direction." In other words, the more we delve the deepest depths of cosmology, biology, physics and beyond, the more we understand, "there must be a God somewhere," as the spiritual says. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Meyer, best-selling author and director of the Discovery Institute in Seattle, talks about his most recent book, "The Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries that Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe". For instance, DNA, the foundation of human building blocks. Meyer shows that scientists have known for quite a while that it would be a mathematical impossibility that random forces could create even a fully functioning amino-acid sequence to produce a protein for DNA; it would be about 1 in 10 to the 195th. That's a direct assault on Darwin's theory of evolution. Meyer writes, "Over the past three decades, many evolutionary biologists have challenged a key tenet of the neo-Darwinian synthesis, namely the idea that small-scale microevolutionary changes can be extrapolated to explain large-scale macroevolution innovations." It's complicated, and yet so simple: "And God said..." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#socrates #philosophy #inspiration Socrates (470–399 BC) was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of thought. An enigmatic figure, Socrates authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous accounts of classical writers, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. KiranPrabha, in this talk show, made an attempt to reconstruct Socrates life journey (from books published around 1900 - 1930). Socrates philosophy was also discussed at a high level.

Meyer, director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, and author of Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe.

I explore the psychological underpinnings of the startup world with Yael Daniely, a seasoned startup psychologist and co-founder therapist. Yael brings to the table a unique blend of clinical expertise and intensive research focused on the mental and emotional well-being of founders and their teams. The conversation opens with Yael discussing the common psychological barriers that startup founders face. From the specter of burnout to the pervasive stress and fear of failure, Yael unpacks the personal experiences and triggers that can hinder founders' professional journeys. With 70% of her portfolio successfully moving on to their next funding round, Yael's approach to transforming vulnerability into strength is not just theory but proven practice. As a therapist who specializes in co-founder relationships, Yael sheds light on the complex dynamics that can make or break the startup's leadership. She stresses the importance of personal relational resumes, psychological contracts, and the necessity of regular, open communication to navigate the highs and lows of startup life. We also explore the essential factors that contribute to a healthy co-founder relationship. Awareness, understanding, and embracing the challenges of growth are discussed as cornerstones for fostering emotional health and resilience among founders. Yael also paints a vivid picture of the startup environment's unique stresses and challenges, where founders often grapple with intense responsibility and anxiety for their venture's survival.

In today's episode, Becket chats with Dr. Stephen Meyer about his book, “Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe.”  The New York Times bestselling author of “Darwin's Doubt,” Stephen Meyer, presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology. Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe.  Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God.
