The Origin of Animal Body Plans (2025 Dallas Conference on Science & Faith)

What produced different animal body plans in the history of life? Scientist and philosopher Stephen Meyer explains why unguided evolutionary mechanisms weren’t sufficient and why animal body plans required intelligent design. Dr. Meyer is Director of the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute and author of the bestselling books Signature in the Cell, Darwin’s Doubt, and Return of the God Hypothesis. Dr. Paul Nelson, a philosopher of biology, joins Meyer later in the session to discuss the latest research. This session took place at the 2025 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith.
