Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph. D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge and besides being a pioneer in intelligent design research is currently the Director of the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute. His latest book, “Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design.”, was a New York Times bestseller.

In his current research Meyer is examining and explaining the amazing depth of digital technology found in each and every living cell, such as nested coding, digital processing, distributive retrieval and storage systems, and genomic operating systems. He is developing a more fundamental argument for intelligent design that is based not on a single feature like the bacterial flagellum, but rather on a pervasive feature of all living systems. Alongside matter and energy, Dr. Meyer shows that there is a third fundamental entity in the universe needed for life: information.
