Signature in the Cell by Stephen C. Meyer

This carefully reasoned and exhaustively documented argument deals with the DNA enigma. Where does the complex, specified, functional information originate? This entire problem comes from the biochemical fact that the order of the base pairs of the four amino acids in DNA is not contingent. No physical or chemical force or bond determines what order the bases appear in. It is a code. It conveys information. The further question asked in the book is whether there ever is a cause other than an intelligent agent for complex, specific, functional information. Meyer has done the debates and read all the literature. He presents all the arguments and criticism. His case to me seems sound and scientific. His discussion about what constitutes science is especially good.
