Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science Theology - William A. Dembski

Descriere Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science Theology - William A. Dembski

The author of The Design Inference aims to show the lay reader how detecting design within the universe, and especially against the backdrop of biology and biochemistry, unseats naturalism--and above all Darwin's expulsion of design in his theory of evolution. Named a 2000 Book of the Year by Christianity Today. \n \nVoted a Book of the Year by Christianity Today\n \nThe Intelligent Design movement is three things: \n \n- a scientific research program for investigating intelligent causes \n- an intellectual movement that challenges naturalistic evolutionary theories \n- a way of understanding divine action \nAlthough the fast-growing movement has gained considerable grassroots support, many scientists and theologians remain skeptical about its merits. Scientists worry that it's bad science (merely creationism in disguise) and theologians worry that it's bad theology (misunderstanding divine action). In this book William Dembski addresses these concerns and brilliantly argues that intelligent design provides a crucial link between science and theology.\n \nVarious chapters creatively and powerfully address intelligent discernment of divine action in nature, why the significane of miracles should be reconsidered, and the demise and unanswered questions of British natural theology. Effectively challenging the hegemony of naturalism and reinstating design within science, Dembski shows how intelligent design can be unpacked as a theory of information.\n \nIntelligent Design is a pivotal, synthesizing work from a thinker whom Phillip Johnson calls one of the most important of the design theorists who are sparking a scientific revolution by legitimating the concept of intelligent design in science.\n
