Signature in the Cell

?Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of life's origins and the question of whether life is a product of unthinking matter or of an intelligent mind. For those who disagree with ID, the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate. For those who may be sympathetic to ID, on the fence, or merely curious, this book is an engaging, eye-opening, and often eye-popping read? ? American Spectator

Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling book from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer presents a convincing new case for intelligent design (ID), based on revolutionary discoveries in science and the biological information stored in DNA. Tackling the central mystery of the origin of life, Meyer argues that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID. If you enjoyed Francis Collins's The Language of God, you'll find much to ponder?about evolution, the digital code in DNA, and intelligent design?in Signature in the Cell.

What is the signature in the cell, and what does it reveal about the origin of life?

• The DNA Enigma: Delve into the mystery of how the digital information in DNA first arose?the question that materialistic evolutionary theories have been unable to answer.
• Specified Complexity: Discover the concept of specified information, the unique hallmark of intelligent agency, and see how it appears in the cell's molecular machinery.
• Critique of Chemical Evolution: A comprehensive review of the failures of leading scientific theories?from chance to self-organization?to explain the origin of the first life.
• Evidence for Intelligent Design: Follow the step-by-step argument as Meyer makes a positive, evidence-based case for an intelligent cause as the best explanation for the information at the heart of life.
