This article IMO highlights yet another set of observations suggesting that God may have forcibly intervened from time to time in the world in order to achieve his objectives, and hence that the world doesn't have all the "right stuff" it needs to get from there to here on its own. I've never found evolutionists' plausibility arguments for certain kinds of complexity terribly persuasive.

  Anyone want to discuss this article by Stephen Meyer?

  Many are pointing to this now as one of a handful of articles by
  IDers to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This article was
  published in August 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.

  The full title of the article is "The Origin of Biological
  Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories".
