When Charles Darwin finished THE FOUNDATION of Species, he thought that he had explained every hint, but one. Though his theory could describe many specifics, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the annals of life that his theory didn’t explain. During this event, the “Cambrian explosion,” many animals suddenly made an appearance in the fossil record without obvious ancestors in earlier layers of rock.

In Darwin’s Question, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery encircling this about Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origins of Animal Life as well as the Case for Intelligent Design explosion of pet life-a mystery which has intensified, not merely because the expected ancestors of these animals never have been found out, but because scientists have learned more about what it requires to construct an animal. During the last fifty percent century, biologists attended to appreciate the central importance of biological information-stored in DNA and somewhere else in cells-to building animal forms.

Expanding over the compelling case he presented in his last reserve, Signature in the Cell, Meyer argues that the foundation of this details, as well as other mysterious features of the Cambrian event, are preferred explained by intelligent style, instead of purely undirected evolutionary functions.
