"The creation of information is habitually associated with conscious activity." - Henry Quastler</ref> Meyer call this "[[functional information]]" and compares it to [[radio signal]]s, [[stone monument]]s, or [[magnetic disc]]s (like [[CD]]s and [[DVD]]s or a computer's [[hard disk]]). He argues that when you look for the source of such information, you always find that it was created by a [[mind]]. Thus he concludes that [[digital information]] in the cell

Meyer describes the process of "building an animal" as an engineering problem and implies that unguided (random) material forces cannot explain the sudden appearance of fully-formed organisms in the [[Cambrian Explosion]]. The problem Darwin acknowledged in ''[[Origin of Species]]'' was the absence of intermediate [[ancestral forms]]. Meyer argues that Darwinistic theories like the creative power to generate complex animals and the information necessary to build them.
