J.T. Trevors and D.L. Abel, ' Chance and Necessity Do Not Explain the Origin of Life', Cell Biology International; Volume 28, Issue 11, November 1, 2004.
J.T. Trevors & D.L. Abel, ‘Three subsets of sequence complexity and their relevance to biopolymeric information’, Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, (2005, 2: 29)
Øyvind Albert Voie, 'Biological Function and the Genetic Code are Independent', Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 2006, Vol 28(4), 1000-1004.
A good contemporary book on this topic is: Fazale Rana & High Ross, Origins of Life: Biblical and Evolutionary Models Face Off, (Navpress, 2004) - Fazale and Ross frame their argument in terms of their Old Earth Creationist Position.
