That the end of that very neat set of explanations for chemical complexity & increased information, self organization, supports itself by links to the Oxford University Press? This isn't where your going to find Stephen "daisy chain" Meyer's Darwin's Doubt ending up: Lehn (2002) defined self-organization as the ‘spontaneous but information-directed generation of organized functional structures in equilibrium conditions’. The necessary information (‘coding’) for self-organization is contained in the molecular-recognition and self-assembly proclivities of the component molecules. This coding also determines how the self-assembled edifice self-organizes into a functional structure in equilibrium. For a recent survey of the various types of coding for self-organization, see my book Smart Structures: Blurring the Distinction between the Living and the Nonliving (2007).

"Living with Darwin: Evolution, Design, and the Future of Faith", global.oup.com Philip Kitcher Philosophy in Action Philip Kitcher stokes the flames swirling around Darwin's theory, sifting through the scientific evidence for evolution, Creation Science, and Intelligent Design, and revealing why evolution has been the object of such vehement attack. The author provides a valuable perspective on the present controversy, describing the many puzzles that blocked evolution's acceptance in the early years, and explaining how scientific research eventually found the answers to these conundrums.
