...made the top ten in the science category...

Ooooooooo....that must mean something. Means to me that they allowed Creationism into the "science" category.

Dr. Meyer shows that the digital code imbedded in DNA points powerfully to a designing intelligence and helps unravel a mystery that Darwin did not address: how did the very first life begin?

Geeee....Dawin's book didn't address it because.....the origin of life has nothing to do with the differentiation of the species through evolution.

Who exactly is this mysterious designer?

Firstly, Meyer is agreeing with you that Darwin and evolution do not address the origin of life, and he is not being critical of either for not addressing it.

Secondly, ID does not attempt to identify the designer. Meyer admits that his personal belief is God, but that he cannot prove it, and ID does not try to prove it. None of that really detracts from the position that the complex, specific information in the DNA code is best explained, based on what we know now, by the intervention of an intelligent agent. We have seen such information come from intelligent agents, and only intelligent agents, and hence it stands now as the best explanation. If a better means for the origin of such information is demonstrated, then it will prevail I would presume. He attempts to show how chance and natural law does not explain it.
