“Whenever we see information, especially when we find information in the digital or typographic form, and we trace it back to its ultimate source, we always come to a mind, not a material process. So the discovery that information is running the show in life, the discovery that there are these huge infusions of information in the history of life, such as the one that occurs in the Cambrian Explosion, suggests that a designing intelligence has played a role in the history of life. And it also suggested to me that it was possible to formulate a scientific case for Intelligent Design that is a case for Intelligent Design based on the same method of scientific reasoning that Charles Darwin had used in the Origin of the Species. And so if you want to say that Intelligent Design isn’t science, you would have to say that the Darwinian argument in the Origin of the Species is also not science. But no one really wants to say that. He’s not using an unscientific method, he’s just using a different method of scientific reasoning, an historical method of scientific reasoning, and I use that exact same method in formulating the positive case for Intelligent Design in both Darwin’s Doubt and Signature in the Cell.”
