New Video Shows DNA Evidence for Deliberate Design
In the 21st century, the information age has finally come to biology. We now know that biology at its root is comprised of information rich systems, such as the complex digital code encoded in DNA. Groundbreaking discoveries of the past decade are revealing the information bearing properties of biological systems.
Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a Cambridge trained philosopher of science 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.
Meyer 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.
A new video, Journey Inside The Cell, launched today dramatically illustrates the evidence for intelligent design within DNA, as described in Stephen C. Meyer’s book, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne 2009).
The original animation by Light Productions reveals in intricate detail how the digital information in DNA directs protein synthesis inside the cell, revealing a world of molecular machines and nano-processors communicating digital information.
“This video is going to make things worse for critics of intelligent design,” Dr. Meyer explains. “They will have more difficulty convincing the public that their eyes are deceiving them when the evidence for design literally unfolds before them in this animation.”
Narrated by Meyer, the video is a short tour of the molecular labyrinth, the cell’s sophisticated information-processing system, which not only produces machines, but also reproduces itself.
Where does the scientific evidence lead?

They say to take the blinder off but in my mind they are still warring them, let’s be honest. I am not saying there is no (creater) but lets at lest admit that a being more evolved and intelligent is still a being from an other race, so let’s give up the stigma that society instills in ous and look for the truth. Let turn are attention to the (Heavens) space.

I gather what you are getting at is “Who created the Creator?” and the infinite regress that inevitably follows.
It seems you haven’t considered the possibility that the Creator transcends and exists outside of the space-time realm that he creates. You may not have considered the option that the Creator is therefore timeless and self-existent.

Everything dynamic and very positively!

Admittedly, I haven’t watched your videos yet - I may try to do that later. But, as the Teacher of Ecclesiastes points out, “there is nothing new under the sun”. Judging by the description, I expect this is little more than a re-hashing of Dembski’s already de-bunked “information” argument.
The first clue that new evidence is emerging that challenges the selection paradigm is that it will 1) actually be evidence, and 2) not be presented in a cartoon. Instead, it will be presented in a series of rigorous papers that probably will likely only be accessible to experts. Soon, after other experimenters reproduce the original results and new understanding begins to emerge from the success of the new paradigm, people will start writing enthusiastic popular books and filming popular documentaries for the rest of us.
I’m afraid Stephen C. Meyer is putting the popularization cart before the research and evidence horse.
