The properties of the universe and of life—specifically as they pertain to understanding their origins—are just “what we should expect” if a transcendent and purposive intelligence has acted in the history of life and the cosmos. Such an intelligence coincides with what human beings have called God, and so I call this story of reversal the return of the God hypothesis.
Is this begging the question? Is Meyer "reverse-engineering" our universe to marshal facts presupposing an intelligent designer?
