Product Description
Science and scientists are given a lot of authority. But what is science? We think we know. But 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 lawlike 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, the practice of science often already includes these factors.
As the Intelligent Design movement has gained momentum over recent years, questions have naturally arisen to challenge its provocative claims. With clarity and concision, William Dembski responds to the most vexing questions and objections raised by experts and non-experts alike who have attended his many public lectures or raised objections 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.

| Short Description | This is a great introduction to the Intelligent Design theory. In this book William Dembski takes a critical look at mainstream (positivist) scientific theory and considers whether there is any reason why science should be limited to purely material, mechanic explanations of phenomena, especially in relation to the fundamental questions of the origins of life. |
| Praise | 'In The Design Revolution, Dembski covers a great deal of ground, answering objection after objection to intelligent design. In his years of writing, lecturing and debating intelligent design, he has heard just about every objection possible. In this book he takes these objections on one at a time, responding to the confused, the skeptical and the hostile. His arguments not only build the confidence of those of us who are already convinced of intelligent design but should also serve as a catalyst for serious thought by thoughtful skeptics.' - From the Foreword by Charles W. Colson |
