The Mystery of Life's Origin

Readers may be interested to know that the seminal intelligent design book, The Mystery of Life's Origin, first published in 1984 and now out-of-print despite a second printing in 1992, is now available as a free pdf download:

Charles B. Thaxton, Walter L. Bradley & Roger L. Olson, The Mystery of Life’s Origin: Reassessing Current Theories, (Lewis and Stanley, 1992) @ www.themysteryoflifesorigin.org/


For up-to-date, peer reviewed information on this fascinating area of research, cf (by year of publication):

Stephen C. Meyer, 'DNA and the Origin of Life' - This article appears in the peer-reviewed book Darwinism, Design and Public Education (Michigan State University Press, 2003)

' Chance and Necessity Do Not Explain the Origin of Life', Cell Biology International; Volume 28, Issue 11, 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 VoieChaos, 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.

William Paley Institute re-publish articles

Today I came accross a website called 'The William Paley Institute' which has re-published (with reference to ARN) four of my articles:

Why Naturalists Should Mind about Physicalism, and Vice Versa

Intelligent Design, Aesthetics and Design Arguments

'What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?' Comparing Dawkins' Blind Faith with Flew's Evidence

A Rough Guide to Creation & Evolution

Why these appear in a section called 'speeches' rather than in the one called 'papers' I don't know! Still, nice to be re-produced!
