About this listen

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' The Language of God, you'll find much to ponder - about evolution, DNA, and intelligent design - in Signature in the Cell.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A good read for anyone with a scientific bent

Stephen Meyer does an excellent job presenting his case for why Intelligent Design Theory, in his opinion, presents the best case for the design apparently present in living things. He does a fair job of presenting both sides of the argument (methodological naturalism or neo-darwinian evolution VS ID) and why he feels ID is the best theory based upon evidence available. He addresses issues which are brought against ID being a scientific theory and refutes them well.

The book is a scientific book written for folks without a scientific bent (I think it tends to be more scientific/technical than the average reader) and is also a long presentation.

No matter which side of the discussion/debate you fall on, this is enlightening and well worth the read.

Naturalists cannot overcome the DNA Enigma.

Very thorough and thought provoking refutation of the Chance Hypothesis that is posited by Neo Darwinist/ Naturalism adherents.

Thought Provoking. Challenging.

This book will get you thinking. Challenge your "beliefs" and set in your mind that Science is never settled, and neither is history. I encourage all that are interested in the natural sciences as well as genetics to dive in. You will not be sorry.

So good!

Not going to like “some” of this went over my head, barley any ha. So thankful that people like you are doing work like this and can quantify it so succinctly! Thank you for your work!

A Great Book

Signature in the Cell is a great book. I liked the tone and the interesting information. Sometimes it was over my head. Despite that, I think I understand the essential things the book was trying to say. I had the Audible version, and I liked the reader of the text. He was easy to understand and spoke at a nice pace.

Wow!

This is a mind blowing book. I'm not a scientist, but I was able to follow the complexity of Meyer's thought process.

buries darwinian evolution

you will shake your head in disbelief at how so many people have been duped by the absurdity of Darwinian evolution. This book elucidates just about every aspect of intelligent design and is a compelling obvious correction of how intelligence was necessary to create the information in life and DNA.

ID vs Materialistic view (evolutionary theories)

Well done. Complex science, well described. Great background History examing contenders for Best Origin Theory.

Articulate, Insightful, and thought-provoking

How many times have I looked at electron transport systems, such as ATP Synthase, and thought there is no logic in believing this basic cellular unit naturally occurred through a chance process. I wish Dr. Meyer could have been my microbiology professor.

A must read!

This book was an excellent listen. If you listen with an open mind, it will certainly help you to see the weakness of the Theory of Evolution. Mathematically it simply does not add up. I read and listen broadly and it helps to reason with others in this divisive issue. It would benefit us all if we could reason and discuss instead of getting emotional and arguing. In all your other reading and listening on this issue, listen to this!
