Understanding Intelligent Design. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Understanding Intelligent Design

This compact guide lays out the basics of Intelligent Design, popularly known as ID. William Dembski, the dean of the intelligent-design movement, and Sean McDowell especially target readers whose understanding may have been confused by educational bias and one-sided arguments and attacks.

Commonsense and no-nonsense, with pointed examples, the authors explain

• the central theories of ID, showing why the presence of information and meaningful complexity require the involvement of intelligence
• why ID adheres to the scientific method and is a valid field of scientific inquiry
• why scientific evidence increasingly conflicts with evolutionary theories
• how both evolutionary theory and ID have religious/philosophical underpinnings, and why this causes so much controversy
• how both systems of thought have radical implications for our culture&;and what readers can do about it

Clarifying crucial issues, this key resource gives nonspecialists a solid grasp of one of today's foundational religious-scientific-cultural concepts.
