Signature in the Cell

DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design

De: Stephen C. Meyer

Narrado por: Derek Shetterly

Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling audiobook 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.

The Thousand Year Book

I believe this book is the most important written in the last thousand years. Beautifully read by Derek Shetterly. Dr. Meyer makes a remarkable, tremendous, exciting and excruciatingly thorough argument, scientifically and mathematically, to usurp Darwin from the crown of evolutionary understanding and re-introduce our Fine Designer. The logic of Dr. Meyer’s argument is driven by our present day exceptional understanding of molecular biology, of what life truly is at the nano-level and what it takes to have something “alive”. We can truly appreciate life only when we read or hear details like those provided in “Signature in the Cell”. While Dr. Meyer is completely prepared to run his critics over with a proverbial “Mack truck”, he goes through pains, at an almost fantastical level of thoroughness, to cover and examine his critics arguments in extraordinary detail. Indeed, this book is as much the examination and dissection of opposing positions to ID as it is his elaborate, exceptional argument. It is wonderfully written. If you enjoy an exciting detective novel, a mystery novel, a history lesson, with the marvel of life‘s complexity all enveloped within and a conclusion delivering your own spiritual renewal, then please, download, and buckle up. It’s no overstatement to make: This book will one day prove to have brought a new, lasting, long sought after light in an up-til-now darkened tunnel, and a fresh hope for the revival of humanity’s relationship with The Divine.

phenomenal!

This material must be taken in by every person interested in origin science and every scientist researching the cure of any disease. It is the key to freeing the mind from 150 year old false assumptions about origins that have retarded the human race's ability to progress.

Darwinism in light of the human genome project

Prior to the discovery of germ theory in the late 19th century, there could be no understanding of how diseases were caused or cured.

Prior to the discovery of DNA and its encoded information, there could be no understanding of how the origin of life occurred. Were Darwin alive today, I believe he would not have postulated "chance alone" as a mechanism for life due to the complexity of DNA.

I was in search of a modern review of Darwinism in light of the recent discoveries in genomics and Steven Meyer provided the scientific and philosophical approach I was looking for. His work was very up-to-date and relevant to answering the question of Intelligent Design's role in the formation of life.

Challenging and thorogh

This is an exhaustive historical dissertation on comparative hypotheses. I do believe that the case is made, from beginning to end,
that there should be room to consider design as an option in the origins of life in the universe.
If one were to utilize probabilities alone in looking at rational conclusions, I believe that it is only a philosophical roadblock that would keep someone from determining that design should be able to have a seat at the table along with other scientific hypotheses around the origins of life itself. The author does a very thorough job at building a case and helping to formulate reasonable thoughts around the subject.

Amazed at the Information

Stephen c Meyer lays out an exquisite case for intelligent design. he also does a systematic and logical refutation of of standard evolutionary thought and Neo-Darwinism.
