Access Research NetworkOn August 4th, 2004 an extensive review essay by Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, Director of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture appeared in the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington (volume 117, no. 2, pp. 213-239). The Proceedings is a peer-reviewed biology journal published at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.
In the article, entitled “The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories”, Dr. Meyer argues that no current materialistic theory of evolution can account for the origin of the information necessary to build novel animal forms. He proposes intelligent design as an alternative explanation for the origin of biological information and the higher taxa.
Due to an unusual number of inquiries about the article and because the article is presently not available on line elsewhere, Dr. Meyer, the copyright holder, has decided to make the article available now in HTML format on the Discovery Institute website. (Off prints are also available from Discovery Institute by writing to Keith Pennock at Kpennock@discovery.org).
