But that evades the question at hand – Where does the DNA information come from and why does it represent a formula for producing the same sort of creature over and over?

According to the Discovery Institute’s Dr. Stephen Meyer, whose doctorate is in the history of science, and molecular biologist Dr. Douglas Axe, information requires intelligence.

The following 20:59 video provides a fascinating and accessible explanation for why:
