Got a smartphone? As complicated a machine as it is, it doesn't compare to the incredible sophistication found in biological life. On this episode of ID the Future from the archive, we hear from two contributors to the Crossway anthology, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique, Molecular biologist Douglas Axe and philosopher of science Stephen Meyer explain how Carbon Valley Trumps Silicon Valley, and shouts intelligent design. They compare some of today’s technological marvels to living technology, and show how even “simple cells” far exceed even the best silicon valley has to offer. As Meyer says: "Nobody doubts that natural selection and random mutation is a genuine biological process. What we do doubt is that those mechanisms have the power to generate fundamentally new forms of life." For more from Dr. Axe and Dr. Meyer, watch their short documentary film The Information Enigma.
