Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design by Stephen C.

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Signature in the Cell by Stephen C. Meyer 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. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of lifes 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 Darwins theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID. If you enjoyed Francis Collinss The Language of God, youll find much to ponder—about evolution, DNA, and intelligent design—in Signature in the Cell. Back Cover 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. Author Biography Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in the philosophy of science after working as an oil industry geophysicist. He now directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington. He authored Signature in the Cell, a (London) Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year. Review "Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of lifes origins ... the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate... [T]his book is an engaging, eye-opening, and often eye-popping read" -- American Spectator "A decisive case based upon breathtaking and cutting-edge science." -- Dr. Philip S. Skell, member, National Academy of Sciences, and Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus at Pennsylvania State University "A fascinating exploration ... Whether you believe intelligent design is true or false, Signature in the Cell is a must-read book." -- Dr. Scott Turner, professor, environmental and forest biology, State University of New York, and author of The Tinkerers Accomplice "A careful presentation of this fiendishly difficult problem." -- Dr. Thomas Nagel, professor, New York University, in the Times Literary Supplement Review Quote "Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of lifes origins . . . the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate. . .

In Signature in the Cell, nationally recognized scientist Stephen Meyer shows that the argument for ID is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead on our growing scientific knowledge of the information stored in cells. Meyer takes readers on an odyssey of discovery as he investigates current evolutionary theories and the evidence that ultimately led him to back ID, arguing that digital code embedded in DNA helps to unravel the mystery of how life began. Signature in the Cell is a major contribution to the ongoing debate over the validity of Intelligent Design. Dr. Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle. In 2004, Meyer ignited a firestorm of media and scientific controversy when a biology journal at the Smithsonian Institution published his peer-reviewed scientific article advancing Intelligent Design. Meyer has been featured on national television and radio programs, and has been featured in the New York Times. "Meyer has provided no less than a blueprint for 21st century biological science ... After this book, readers will wonder whether anything more than sentimentality lies behind the continued association of Darwins name with modern biology." -- Dr. Steve Fuller, professor of sociology of science, University of Warwick, and author of Dissent from Descent Details ISBN0061472794 Author Stephen C.
