In 2004, Meyer ignited a firestorm of media and scientific controversy when a biology journal at the Smithsonian Institution published his peer-reviewed scientific article advancing intelligent design. He is author of the New York Times-bestseller DarwinвЂ™s Doubt (2013) as well as the book Signature in the Cell (2009) and The Return of the God Hypothesis (2021).

Might such beings be the explanation for certain features in nature that appear to be intelligently designed? Meyer argues that no, there would always remain certain features of the universe that are only adequately explained by reference to a designer with the skillset of the God of theism. The two also touch on the idea of extra-terrestrials becoming so technologically advanced that their abilities become indistinguishable from GodвЂ™s, what Shermer has labeled ShermerвЂ™s Last Law. He also makes a distinction between two distinct modes by which God can direct things in the natural world, an analytic distinction that Meyer notes is not part of his design arguments in Return of the God Hypothesis but instead is drawn from the theology of nature developed many hundreds of years ago. Meyer says he doesnвЂ™t have an in-principle objection to that idea, but that the evidence doesnвЂ™t support it. Meyer and Shermer also discuss the idea of front-loaded intelligent design-that is, where God loaded into the moment of the Big Bang everything necessary for the emergence of stars, planets, Earth, and lifeвЂ™s diversity, with no need for subsequent design tinkering. Meyer argues that while we donвЂ™t know precisely how an immaterial mind would do this or did do this, we have good evidence that minds can and do affect matter, as for instance in the evidence that our minds can affect our brains and, by extension, our bodies. On this ID the Future, Return of the God Hypothesis author Stephen Meyer and skeptic Michael Shermer address the question of how a divine immaterial being could act in the material world to design and fashion things such as the first life.
