SynopsisSignatures in the Cell is the first major statement by a scientist to argue that intelligent design is as the best explanation for the origin of life on earth. In this thoughtful and challenging book, scientist Stephen Meyer summarizes and critiques current evolutionary theories and goes on to show that the evidence itself makes a strong case for intelligent design. This book shows that the argument for intelligent design from DNA is not based on ignorance or a desire to "give up on science," but instead upon just the opposite: our growing scientific knowledge of the inner workings of the cell and our knowledge of the cause-and-effect structure of the world. For this reason the argument for design can be formulated as a rigorous scientific argument. In fact, the argument for intelligent design from DNA is based on the same method of scientific reasoning that Darwin himself used., " 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 DNA. Along the way, 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, DNA, and intelligent design--in Signature in the Cell ., A Compelling Case for Intelligent Design Based on Revolutionary Discoveries in Science In Signature in the Cell, Stephen Meyer has written the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design. As he tells the story of successive attempts to unravel a mystery that Charles Darwin did not address-how did life begin-Meyer develops the case for this often-misunderstood theory using the same scientific method that Darwin himself pioneered. Offering a fresh perspective on one of the enduring mysteries of modern biology, Meyer convincingly reveals that the argument for intelligent design is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead on compelling, and mounting, scientific evidence.

Very compelling book
The Signature in the Cell is an excellent book to read regarding the origin of the universe and life on Earth. It's especially fun for geeky types who love statistics and facts. If you aren't the geeky type, not to worry, Stephen Meyer makes it interesting even for those who aren't all that geeky.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Thoroughly argues for intelligent design
This book thoroughly argues intelligent design in the cell. It covers everything you need to know to argue for it. I took evolutionary biology at Stanford in the 1980's and now realize how much of what the prof said was likely just made up.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent, overwhelming solid evidence. “Chance” is not a cause.
As an MD I appreciate and endorse this book as a lucid presentation of biological facts and it’s understated conclusion. Only a determined philosophical prejudice by anti- theists prevents acknowledgement of the obvious presence of Intelligent Design. The “appearance” of design corresponds to the reality of design.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Packed full of great scientific logic
This book makes an overwhelming case for intelligent design of life on earth and puts forth logical scientific arguments as to why it is impossible for life to have sprang for all by itself.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
