    About this audiobook

    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.

      Anyone who has observed the complexity of Nature can't help but wonder how all of this could have come about through random accidents. This book argues that one of the answers to the origin of this puzzling complexity is an Intelligent Designer. Fair enough.

      However, the book fails to answer the question as to the lack of communication from the Intelligent Designer towards its Creation. If something profoundly intelligent designed Nature, one would assume it could also communicate intelligently with its creation, instead of choosing the hodgepodge of sacred writings collected from monastery closets and trash heaps. Most of which require some kind of faith in authenticity to be beneficial.

      The book is chock full of factoids. It's only the 2nd science book of dozens I've read that mentions both Shannon's Information Theory and Prigogine's work with nonequilibrium systems, both of which have implications upon genomics. However, the author merely uses them to advance his own theory of ID.

      If you start at the end and work your way forward, you'll get a better sense of the author's argument, which is: All this complexity could not have come about by accident. However, once this has been established we are still left with many unanswered questions that require faith and belief to resolve.

      A challenging read for those without a background in DNA science. The book felt like it was primarily targeted at the author's scientific colleagues that have not accepted that intelligent design is legitimate science. The arguments seemed compelling, but the book is full of concepts that I am not familiar with. I often wished for more explanation for those of us amateurs with an interest in science and intelligent design. Also the book is very long and somewhat repetitive.

      I guess I missed the science part. Just junk and not really worth the read. I suggest some of the other books on scribd about science and religion. Some are very compelling, this is not.
    • 5/5
      This is a book number one for every believer! We have to stop the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools as an unproven concept!
    • 5/5
      Although rather technical and detailed but also extremely well researched. 100% authoritative.
