Dr. Stephen Meyer: What is the key thing to be explained in origin of life research

What is the key thing that needs to be explained in origin of life research?
Dr. Meyer explains the importance of biological information in origin of life research, as he discussed in his book Signature in the Cell - http://www.signatureinthecell.com.

It's funny that people bash someone like Meyer on YouTube....your telling me you are more informed than the guy that works on this stuff first hand? It's rediculous to say he's wrong because u went on some website that said so...

"Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Science, and M.Phil. in the History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, England; B.S. in Physics/Earth Science (double major program), Minor in Philosophy, Whitworth College."- That's Stephen Meyer's résumé.. I think he might know what he's talking about...

Too bad Meyer the liar left out so many different cells. An entire CLASS of cells, Prokariotes, have no nucleus! Viruses often have no nucleus, no organelles, and no DNA, HIV being an excellent example. Meyer is an incompetent poseur, typical of the frauds making up the Disco Institute "Fellows". Believe these people at your peril: they are nothing more than dogmaholics who worship the bible.

@ScienceIsKnowledge

Everything you have said is untrue, misleading and/or irrelevant. You insult people because your 'facts' don't add up so intimidation and insult is your only recourse. The catastrophic failure of the Evolutionary Synthesis by comparative genomics is already published. Those who refuse to admit that the Theory of Evolution is dead are forced to lie about the evidence such as I show in my video "Dawkins Caught Lying for Darwin" and also on my blog, NewCreationist.blogspot.com

@ScienceIsKnowledge Oh now you are saying that evolution has it's own intelligence and designs itself? you evolutionists ignore evidence which discredit your claims so that you can continue to believe that random genetic mutation is the supreme creator. I read something somewhere that said to believe in evolution is as irrational as looking at a twelve cylinder engine with all it's parts working in unison and claiming the engine designed itself over a period of time.

@ScienceIsKnowledge didn't you tell me to educate myself and check out wiki, how about you doing that. just google or bing nylonase and read everything that it brings up. Have fun finding the truth.

@angelgal707

"Purposeful adaptation" - Did you just make that up or what?

Many creationists, such as yourself, seem to think evolution is a matter of chance, which is surprising, since the word "selection" is quite obvious in the words "Natural Selection." Organisms are not the product of chance, but selection, with the best genetic traits surviving and being passed on, while the useless ones died out. Why you morons keep playing the "random" card is beyond me...

@hugenex2000

Ok, grammar Nazi.

Name one thing I have said that was misleading or untrue....

ZERO. Stay on the subject, sparky.

I insult ignorant people with facts.

@angelgal707

WRONG.

Source please....

Make it something legit and peer reviewed, not some ID website.

[angelgal707]

@ScienceIsKnowledge As far as nylonase goes when the mechanism was observed it turned out to be an adaption by protein replacement. If it was a random mutation then we would have seen a mutation in the genes instead the gene simply produced two different proteins which indicates a purposeful adaptation and not something random, a Plasmid is responsible and thats not random mutation, its a system not a random process. If I can find this info, why can't you?
