Quote by Stephen C. Meyer

“The information contained in an English sentence or computer software does not derive from the chemistry of the ink or the physics of magnetism, but from a source extrinsic to physics and chemistry altogether. Indeed, in both cases, the message transcends the properties of the medium. The information in DNA also transcends the properties of its material medium.”

People are welcome to believe in God, though not a God who makes a difference in the natural order.”

“The young earth-solution to reconciling the order of creation with natural history makes good exegetical and theological sense.
