Stephen Meyer (PhD, University of Cambridge), the director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, is the author of two big books on intelligent design:

On July 14, 2002, he gave a talk to the Philosophy of Religion section at the Tyndale Fellowship in Cambridge, England, which you can watch below. (The talk begins at 4:05 and goes to 54:27, followed by interaction with an audience of theologians, scientists, and philosophers.)

Dr. Meyer argues that Darwin did not refute the design argument (nor did Hume), but that Darwin did make two significant contributions to the debate: (1) he established the legitimacy of the question of design (real or apparent), and (2) he formulated of a powerful method of scientific explanation (namely, inference to the best explanation). Meyer uses this standard scientific form of investigation and explanation in order to argue that the specified complexity we see in biology is best accounted for by an intelligent mind.

For Meyer’s more introductory presentation on intelligent design, delivered to a church, try this.
