Book Description
Intelligent Design or Evolution? examines many unresolved issues associated with chemical evolution, the origin of life, and the evolution of molecular knowledge. With the help of information theory, this book develops statistical models to describe the evolution of the first genes and proteins. It also investigates the chemistry required for the prebiotic synthesis of biological molecules on the primitive earth. The evidence presented will show that naturalistic laws fail to explain the synthesis of RNA, DNA and proteins in the primordial soup. These same laws also fail to explain the origin of life and the evolution of the first genes and proteins. Taken together, these failures imply that life was created.
From the Back Cover
The origin of life is perhaps the most perplexing problem facing science today. Despite an intense 50 year search , no solution is yet evident.
If naturalistic laws do not explain life's origin, then life must have been created. This theory is called intelligent design. This book explores the intelligent design paradigm from three different perspectives. Chapter 9 discusses many of the problems associated with creating the required biological molecules on the primitive earth. Chapters 6, 7 and 10 show that life did not start as a simple self replicating molecule. The rest of the book uses information theory to calculate the molecular knowledge in genes and proteins. This knowledge is then related to a probability of evolution. All three approaches support the design inference.
Because information theory is not an easy concept, this book confines the math to simple algebra. It also includes several chapters of introductory material to gradually introduce readers to molecular biology, computational biochemistry, and chemical thermodynamics.
