Yes, there is an ‘information signature’ placed in every cell of every living life form on earth. The chromosomes and the genome we study in biology class contain a code. This is no suprise since this is common knowledge. What is not common, is our understanding exactly how complex the code really is. And complex code deserves a look from the standpoint of trying to explain where the complexity comes from.
What we are left to assume is that life is the product of chance events over long periods of time. The code in the genome, along with all the forms of life we see, are subject to the common assumption.
BUT THE ASSUMPTION IS WRONG. And … if this is true, maybe the door to a better explanation for the origin of life is right there in front of our eyes.
You live in the day when a paradigm in biology will change. The assumption of chance occureneces leading to life is soon to be widly considered a non-starter, a dead concept, and simply wrong.
Dr. Stephen Meyer’s book, Signature in the Cell, is written in plain language with examples a grade school child will understand. Â But the entire story told in the book takes you from science detective work, to explaining how, why, and where the genetic code is so complex as to not be the product of either chance or necessity. Dr. Meyer peels the layers of the story like removing layers of the onion. He is considerate, gentle, patient to explain, and then reinforces points with sound logic. And yes, he supports abductive reasoning much like Charles Darwin used in the first effort to explain evolution. But here, Dr. Meyer gives the best explanation we have for the origin of life as a product of design.
The book answers flawed thinking, illustrates problems with criticisms lowered on the design approach, and then goes further excplain how design theory can best explain biological information in the cell.
Signature in the Cell is a book you can get at a reasonable price.
We could just recommend the book and say: “Go read this great book!” Or, we could say that in the months and years ahead this writing will change the way we think about the classroom, our life, and our origins!
