How does that language function?\\n\\xa0\\nDr. Meyer at Discovery Institute- https://www.discovery.org/p/meyer/ \\nStephen C. Meyer\\xa0received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute\\u2019s\\xa0Center for Science and Culture\\xa0in Seattle. He has authored the\\xa0New York Times\\xa0best seller\\xa0Darwin\\u2019s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design\\xa0(HarperOne, 2013),\\xa0Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design\\xa0(HarperOne, 2009), which was named a Book of the Year by the\\xa0Times\\xa0(of London)\\xa0Literary Supplement\\xa0in 2009, and now,\\xa0The Return of the God Hypothesis\\xa0(HarperOne, 2021).\\nIn his first book on\\xa0intelligent design,\\xa0Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design\\xa0(HarperOne, 2009) Meyer examined the mystery of the origin of the first life. With\\xa0Darwin\\u2019s Doubt, he has expanded the scope of the case for intelligent design to the whole sweep of life\\u2019s history. Meyer\\u2019s research addresses the deepest mystery surrounding the origin of life and the origin of animal life: the origin of biological information necessary to produce it.\\nMeyer graduated from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington, in 1981 with a degree in physics and earth science. He later became a geophysicist with Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) in Dallas, Texas. From 1981 to 1985, he worked for ARCO in digital signal processing and seismic survey interpretation. In 1986 as a Rotary International Scholar, he began his training in the history and philosophy of science at Cambridge University, earning an M.Phil. in 1987 and a Ph.D. in 1991. His doctoral thesis was titled \\u201cOf Clues and Causes: A Methodological Interpretation of Origin-of-Life Research.\\u201d\\nHe returned to Whitworth in the fall of 1990 to teach philosophy and the philosophy of science. He left a tenured position as a professor at Whitworth in 2002 to direct the Center for Science and Culture full time, which he had helped found with John West in 1996.\\nPrior to the publication of\\xa0Signature in the Cell\\xa0and\\xa0Darwin\\u2019s Doubt, the writing for which Meyer was best known was an August 2004 review essay in the Smithsonian Institution-affiliated peer-reviewed biology journal\\xa0Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. The article laid out the evidential case for intelligent design, presenting it as the best explanation for the origin of the biological information necessary to produce the new forms of animal life that arose abruptly during the Cambrian explosion.\\nBecause the article was the first peer-reviewed publication arguing for intelligent design in a technical journal, it proved extremely controversial.\\xa0 The journal\\u2019s editor, evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, was punished by his Smithsonian supervisors for allowing Meyer\\u2019s article into print. This led to the investigation of top Smithsonian personnel by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.\\xa0 The controversy was widely covered in the media with articles or news stories appearing about it in\\xa0The\\xa0Wall Street Journal,\\xa0Science,\\xa0Nature, NPR,\\xa0The O\\u2019Reilly Factor\\xa0and the\\xa0Washington Post. The federal investigation eventually concluded that Sternberg had been wrongly disciplined and intimidated.\\nMeyer\\u2019s many other publications include contributions to, and the editing of, the peer-reviewed volume\\xa0Darwinism, Design and Public Education\\xa0(Michigan State University Press, 2004) and the innovative textbook\\xa0Explore Evolution\\xa0(Hill House Publishers, 2007).\\nMeyer has also published editorials in national newspapers such as\\xa0The Wall Street Journal,\\xa0USA Today,\\xa0The National Post (of Canada),\\xa0The Dai'
