Here’s the first one, all about biological information in DNA and the origin of life.
Part 1 of 12:
Here’s the second one, all about what it takes to have a habitable planet.

These are each about an hour long. The third one in the series is called “Darwin’s Dilemma”, and it covers the origin of new body plans and organ types in the Cambrian explosion. It’s the best of the series.

Here’s a new book review (in Scribd format) is here. (H/T Evolution News)
Excerpt:
Stephen C. Meyer changes the game in the intelligent design fight with Signature in the Cell, a big book that methodically, but agreeably, constructs an argument that intelligence in some unspecified form, is responsible for the bio-molecular machinery in the cell and, therefore, for first life. Meyer’s argument is, at its heart, logical and statistical but also strives for a reality check by engaging the reader’s day-to-day experience of cause and effect.
[…]His long argument is encyclopedic yet lively and persuades that science is at an impasse in explaining the origin of life as the product of undirected processes. The work overall, technical at times, is directed to the general reader. The scientifically trained reader must decide whether a popular work is “trying to pull a fast one,” preferably guided by criteria that are consistently and dispassionately applied across historical sciences. The author’s passion for his argument is palpable but scrupulously controlled; he is ever mindful that it is the target of scornful attacks by opponents who are, to put it gently, not disinterested. Meyer delivers his argument in the manner of a dish best served cold, yet forcibly enough to shake the base of the materialistic paradigm.
The review appeared in The Journal of the International Society of Philosophical Enquiry.
The review is written by a software engineer, so he understands code, algorithms and specified complexity. His name is Harry Kanigel, and he is the former executive director of Information Technology at UBS Investment Bank. (!)
This book is an excellent science book – the best book on intelligent design available today.
