Return of the God Hypothesis: Breakthroughs in Physics, Cosmology, and Biology Seeking Evidence for the Existence of God

by Stephen C. Meyer

Indeed, even if Professor Krauss could explain the origin of matter, energy, space, and time from nothing, or from nothing but the mathematically expressed laws of physics, he still could not explain the origin of the information necessary to express and solve the equations that supposedly explain the origin of the universe. Instead, as we have seen, the quantum cosmological theories subtly depend upon the activity of a mind to model the origin of the universe. It follows that if some version of quantum cosmology provides the correct model for the origin of the universe, then mind, not just matter and energy (or even math), played a causal role in that ultimate origin event. Insofar as quantum cosmology models the origin of the universe, it implies the need for prior intelligent design.
