Diagram showing how the translation of the mRNA and the synthesis of proteins is made by ribosomes. Courtesy of Mariana Ruiz Villarreal ("Lady of Hats") and Wikipedia. The prescriptive information and specified complexity found in the ribosome make it an excellent example of Intelligent Design.

Useful Books on Intelligent Design

Programming of Life by Dr. Don Johnson. This book describes how each cell of an organism contains millions of interacting computers reading and processing digital information, using digital programs and digital codes to communicate and translate information. Scroll down to see links to videos by Dr. Johnson. See here for a review by Robert Deyes. Dr. Johnson's Web site is here.

Signature in the Cell. Web site by Dr. Stephen Meyer.
