“He’s also author of Signature in the Cell, a provocative new book that offers the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design.”

It’s not a new book it’s been out for quite a few years. I read it and it’s an excellent book, very persuasive. It’s written from a totally scientific, logical point of view - he doesn’t resort to bible passages to make his case.

His degree is in Philosophy of Science, which analyzes the nature of science itself and its methodology and limits.

I very much recommend it.

Well said, it’s basically the summary of the book!

In my view the most important ingredient missing from the primordial soup is the single mindedness drive, fight, and will to reproduce and survive at every stage of life’s development.

Inert objects have no such drive.

Dumb question. The mere existence of DNA, it’s form and makeup, leave no doubt as to intelligent design, i.e., GOD.

“His degree is in Philosophy of Science, which analyzes the nature of science itself and its methodology and limits.”

His undergraduate degree is in geophysics and he worked in the oil industry.

I’ve read all of his books which make for compelling and very informative reading. In addition I’ve read Michael Behe’s books starting with “Darwin’s Black Box”.

As a young man I was an atheist. After a few degrees in science I realized the impossibility of nature making the complex biology of plants and animals and us. I am no longer an atheist.

Thanks and thank God.

the current THEORY of evolution is no different than the previous “discredited” 19th century “spontaneous generation” theory that life arose spontaneously from mud puddles. The ONLY difference is the amounts of time involved in the two theories ... plus some extra mumbo-jumbo about lightening, cosmic rays and sea water ..

Pollywogs to polar bears. Chance and Time is to the evolutionists what an omniscient omnipotent God is to the believer.

Yes Behe’s books are also very good.

They both also have lots of great YouTube videos.
