In this fast-paced conversation the pair touch on the Judeo-Christian roots of science, how fine tuning in physics and cosmology point to intelligent design, and how a great many scientists held out hope that the universe was eternal and therefore did not require a creator, until the evidence for a cosmic beginning mounted. What about the multiverse hypothesis as an escape for atheists wishing to explain away the evidence for a cosmic designer? Meyer explains why it fails Occam\u2019s Razor. Finally, Meyer and Klavan discuss a noted atheist philosopher who frankly admits that he doesn\u2019t want theism to be true and yet also admits that modern Darwinism has failed and that the evidence for design in various scientific fields is too powerful to be ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This interview is re-broadcasted, with permission, from the Daily Wire and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1050-freedomland-becomes-fantasyland2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Episode 1050<\/a> of the Andrew Klavan Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dig Deeper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Haven&#8217;t read Meyer&#8217;s latest book yet?
