Intelligent Design Theory indicates that the origin of life requires intelligence, which requires information. But where does that information originate? That question is at the heart of Intelligent Design Theory - the idea that certain patterns in nature point to an intelligent cause, not just chance or necessity.

Unlike theories that say life is purely the result of undirected natural processes, like evolution - Intelligent Design suggests that complex, purposeful systems - like DNA - bear the hallmarks of a mind behind them. DNA is more than chemistry; it’s a code. And in our experience, codes come from coders.

As Stephen C. Meyer observes:

“At the close of the nineteenth century, most biologists thought life consisted solely of matter and energy. But after Watson and Crick, biologists came to recognize the importance of a third fundamental entity in living things: information.”

This isn’t about rejecting science - it’s about expanding it. Intelligent Design uses scientific reasoning to examine evidence in biology, physics, and cosmology, asking: Could the best explanation for life’s complexity be intelligence?
