description: The New York Times bestselling author of Darwins Doubt and Intelligent Design scholar 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 beliefthat 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 Darwins 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 kindbut the existence of a personal God.
