The Intelligent Design movement is three things: a scientific research program for investigating intelligent
causes
an intellectual movement that challenges naturalistic
evolutionary theories
a way of understanding divine action
Although 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. Various 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. Intelligent 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."
