pIntelligent Design ID, the idea that a sentient cause, rather than an undirected process, best explains key features of life and the universe, continues to ignite controversy around the world. In Signature in the Cell, nationally recognized scientist Stephen Meyer shows that the argument for ID is not based on ignorance or giving up on science, but instead on our growing scientific knowledge of the information stored in cells. pp Meyer takes readers on an odyssey of discovery as he investigates current evolutionary theories and the evidence that ultimately led him to back ID, arguing that digital code embedded in DNA helps to unravel the mystery of how life began.

Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery
