ACU Sunday Series. \nDiscovery Institute\nMichael Medved Spotlights the New Book, Your Designed Body\n\xa0Nov 23 2022\xa0\xa0\n\xa0\nAbout the book-\nYour Designed Body by Steve Laufmann (Author), Howard Glicksman MD (Author) November 18, 2022\nConsider your body. Every day it must solve hundreds of hard engineering problems simultaneously, or else you\u2019ll die. While you\u2019re going about your daily business, your body stores, retrieves, translates, and manages software for thousands of proteins, switches, setpoints, thresholds, feedback loops, coordinate systems, counters, and timers. It disassembles thousands of different complex molecules, converts them into their building blocks, absorbs the building blocks, then reassembles them into the legions of chemicals and proteins that keep you going.Your body also safely transports hazardous chemicals to where they\u2019re needed, without spilling them in places where they\u2019d do harm, and employs them as it orchestrates thousands of complex processes and movements, some nearly instantaneous. At the same time it defends itself against threats large and small, and reproduces its own parts to replace those that are wearing out. And this is only a tiny portion of what your body must do to remain alive\u2014all without conscious input from you.In\xa0Your Designed Body, systems engineer Steve Laufmann and physician Howard Glicksman explore this extraordinary system of systems encompassing thousands of ingenious and interdependent engineering solutions. They present a compelling case that no gradual evolutionary pathway could have achieved this, and that instead it must be the handiwork of a masterful designer-engineer.\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\xa0 \xa0\nThe Discovery Science News Channel is the official Youtube channel of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture.

Dr. Stephen C. Meyer: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrStephe...\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
