What DNA Has to Tell Us About the Origins of Life

There’s an outstanding review of Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell by Terry Scambray in the New Oxford Review, which highlights a bit of relevant history for the reader on both Dr. Meyer and Darwin’s theory: Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design is a testament to the fact that, fortunately, such advice [“don’t ask questions”] never sank in with Meyer.
