Over the last century, important scientific discoveries have dramatically challenged science-based atheism, and three in particular now tell a decidedly more God-friendly story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this 30-minute conversation, Dr. Meyer discusses these discoveries with Morgan: the discovery that the universe had a beginning, the discovery of the extreme fine-tuning built into the structure of the universe that makes life possible, and the discovery of the digital code at the heart of biological life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are grateful to the producers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCatt7TBjfBkiJWx8khav_Gg\" class=\"ek-link\">Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/a> for permission to re-post this interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dig Deeper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have you read Stephen Meyer&#8217;s latest book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovery.org\/b\/return-of-the-god-hypothesis\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Return of the God Hypothesis<\/a><\/em>?
