Neither chance nor necessity, nor the combination of the two, can explain the origin of information starting from purely physical-chemical antecedents. Causal powers of both natural entities and intelligent agency suggests intelligent design as the best explanation. Read More ›
The elegant form and protective covering of the coiled nautilus, the interdependent parts of the vertebrate eye, and the interlocking bones, muscles, and feathers of a bird wing “give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Read More ›
Dr. Meyer argues that no current materialistic theory of evolution can account for the origin of the information necessary to build novel animal forms. He proposes intelligent design as an alternative explanation for the origin of biological information and the higher taxa. Read More ›
A clear exposition of the problem of the origin of life and how the existence of biological information provides compelling scientific evidence for intelligent design. Read More ›
Since 2005, the theory of intelligent design has been the focus of a frenzy of international media coverage. But what is this theory of intelligent design, and where did it come from? And why does it arouse such passion and inspire such apparently determined efforts to suppress it? Read More ›
