5 min read

In a 2024 Telegraph article marking the 20th anniversary of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion, philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer argued that new scientific discoveries have made the new atheist position anachronistic. Dawkins declined to appear in person, but Meyer debated Matt Dillahunty of The Atheist Experience instead. The conversation ranged from cosmology to cellular biology to Noah’s Ark archaeology, but the core question was whether science now points toward a designer rather than away from one.

The three scientific pillars

Meyer built his case on three discoveries of the last century that he says are “completely unexpected from a materialistic point of view” but exactly what theism would predict.

Show Notes

Twenty years after Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion helped propel the New Atheist movement into the mainstream, the debate over science, faith and the existence of God is taking a new turn.

Once celebrated for challenging religious belief in the name of science, atheism now faces a changing cultural landscape, with church attendance reportedly rising and the Bible returning to bestseller lists.

So could science actually provide evidence for God rather than disprove his existence?

Stephen C. Meyer, author and advocate of intelligent design, joins Uncensored to discuss his controversial arguments, his recent article in The Telegraph and the furious response it provoked from Richard Dawkins himself.

As the battle between faith and atheism enters a new chapter, can science and belief really be reconciled?

Piers Morgan is also joined by Matt Dillahunty from The Atheist Experience, archaeologist Flint Dibble, and founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, Andrew Jones, to debate one of humanity’s biggest questions.
