 End of Evolution October 19, 2009

This is an excellent book which destroys the theory of evolution. Any reasonable person without bias would conclude that the code in DNA did not happen by chance. So where did life come from? Clearly there was a designer!
 Creationist nonsense October 17, 2009

I've skimmed through this tome of IDiotic nonsense. Meyer's essay, yes, essay because he's not a scientist, biologist, evolutionist, nor did he do any original research for this tripe, he simply grabbed other people's work and massaged it to read the way he wanted, i.e., Darwin, science, and evolution cannot possibly be correct. It must all be the work of his supernatural being, i.e., god, that did it all. Sorry, that admission is no secret, that's what he tells all the church groups he talks to on his circut.
Second, does this man have any ethics or moral conscience? He still references that worthless essay paper he wrote and with Richard Sternberg snuck in the back door at the Smithsonian related publication. Unfortunately for Meyers, the journals's editors actually had it peer-reviewed and the verdict came back -that Meyers' essay had no scientific merit and duly retracted Meyer's essay from publication. You can no longer find it in publication, only on the Dishonesty Institute's web site where Meyers flaunts it as his "peer reviewed" publication. Sad indeed, that his book relies on this type of gibberish.
The editor's comments stated:
"A leading proponent of intelligent design in the scientific community, Meyer presents a compelling case that will generate heated debate, command attention, and find new adherents from leading scientists around the world."
In reality this book has done none of the above per the editor's glowing (but highly partisan comments). The book and the effort behind it are a total loss - the author continues to peddle it to the church groups he addresses, the scientifically ignorant choir to whom he preaches.

The author includes a lot of encyclopedic knowledge which clouds his message.
I stopped reading after 1/3 of the book. It was too boring.
A definitive work, substantial and throrough. October 13, 2009

I've read a number of books and articles promoting Intelligent Design. Dr Meyer's book is among the best of them. It has the potential to make a serious crack in the reigning naturalistic science orthodoxy. Dr Myers arguments are well constructed and compelling, friendly in tone and gracious to his opponents. He covers all the objections I've seen in print.
His book isn't a polemic, just a thorough, calm presentation with LOTS of detail. I think it is sure to be recognized as a must-have book for any reference collection about Intelligent Design.
A View From Outside The Debate October 12, 2009

I am an outsider. I am neither for science nor for intelligent design. I have listened to what the author said that his book was about. I've never even heard of this guy before I heard him talk.
From what he said: about how there is some sort of operating system inside every cell, and how information organizing always seems to always come from some sort of intelligence, (he didn't even say that it might come from a god), this guy appears very open minded and very scientific to me.
I then decided to come on Amazon to get the book and was shocked to find a certain rabid class of people who seem to want to burn this book.
I was still more shocked to see that most, if not all, of these people say that they are either scientists or that they are scientific minded.
But instead they come over as extremely closed minded, fearful, and against any sort of change to cherished theories.
The author of this book appears more like a scientist to me than the so-called scientific minded book burners here.
