Signature in the Cell
by
Dr. Stephen C. Meyer
One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Darwin revolutionized biology, but did
he refute intelligent design (ID)? In Signature in the Cell, Stephen Meyer
argues that he did not. Much confusion surrounds the theory of intelligent
design. Frequently misrepresented by the media, politicians, and local school
boards, intelligent design can be defended on purely scientific grounds in
accordance with the same rigorous methods that apply to every proposed
origin-of-life theory. Signature in the Cell is the first book to make a
comprehensive case for intelligent design based upon DNA.
This documentary will examine what many consider to be the most powerful
refutation of Darwinian evolution—the Cambrian fossil record. Charles Darwin
realized that the fossil evidence did not support his theory of gradual,
step-by-step evolutionary development. He hoped that future generations of
scientists would make the discoveries necessary to validate his ideas. Today,
after more than 150 years of exploration fossil evidence of slow, incremental
biological change has yet to be excavated. Instead, we find a picture of the
rapid appearance of fully developed, complex organisms during the outset of the
Cambrian geological era. Organisms that embody almost all of the major animal
body plans that exist today. This remarkable explosion of life is best explained
by the existence of a transcendent intelligence.
