Is it science? Is
it religion? What exactly is the Design Revolution?
Today scientists,
mathematicians and philosophers in the intelligent design movement are
challenging a certain view of science--one that limits its investigations
and procedures to purely law-like and mechanical explanations. They charge
that there is no scientific reason to exclude the consideration of intelligence,
agency and purpose from truly scientific research. In fact, they say,
the practice of science often does already include these factors!
As the intelligent
design movement has gained momentum, questions have naturally arisen to
challenge its provocative claims. In this book William A. Dembski rises
to the occasion clearly and concisely answering the most vexing questions
posed to the intelligent design program. Writing with nonexperts in mind,
Dembski responds to more than sixty questions asked by experts and nonexperts
alike who have attended his many public lectures, as well as objections
raised in written reviews.
The Design Revolution
has begun. Its success depends on how well it answers the questions of
its detractors. Read this book and you'll have a good idea of the prospects
and challenges facing this revolution in scientific thinking.
