You Can Now Listen To Stephen Meyer School Keith Fox On Intelligent Design

As most of you probably already know, Stephen Meyer was in London last week. During the course of his visit, he engaged in a radio debate involving theistic evolutionist Keith Fox, which was chaired by Justin Brierley. Premier Christian Radio introduces the exchange as follows:

Stephen Meyer is a leading proponent of Intelligent Design who directs the Centre for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle.  His most recent book “Signature in the Cell” claims to show that the DNA code is the product of intelligent mind, not naturalistic processes.

Keith Fox is Professor of Biochemistry at Southampton University.  He chairs the UK Christians in Science network but disagrees strongly with ID.

They debate how life could have originated and whether design is allowed as an explanation in science.

    Along with his wit, and his rich depth of knowledge on the subject, I really admired the way Dr. Meyer repeatedly kept Dr. Fox from fallaciously sidetracking the issue into a ‘materialism of the gaps’ argument, by focusing Dr. Fox’s attention strictly on the fact that it is ‘what we do know’, not what we don’t know, that is what overwhelmingly warrants the inference from ‘presently acting cause’ known to produce the effect in question.

    Here is a video where Dr. Meyer clarifies the solid basis that ID has for its warrant in science:

    Here is a informative excerpt, of Dr. Meyer, from another debate that Dr. Meyer was in (excerpt taken from Meyer/Sternberg vs. Shermer/Prothero debate – 2009):

    Here is a clip of Dr. Sternberg, who is certainly no slouch himself, from the same debate:

    If you can’t listen to it all, skip to 45:23. Meyer seems to make Fox contradict himself.
