Intelligent Design 101

If there is ever to be a rational discussion of all legitimate theoretical options for the beginning of life, assumptions, assertions, and even accusations need to be replaced with competent analysis and clearly defined terminology. This is what Intelligent Design 101 provides.

Eight scholars and researches come together to address the origins of life and the universe in light of increasing scientifc support for an intelligent designer as the source of existence. In a manner both straightforward and practical, they describe what intelligent design is and what it is not; the competent scientific basis upon which it is founded; its history and development; and the reasons for its ever-increasing credibility and role in science and education.

Set aside the incendiary rhetoric you have heard on both sides of the debate over how life and the universe began, and discover for yourslef why respected scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike are finding common ground in this view of cosmic beginnings that replaces strident contentions with reasonable concepts based on empirical science and rational argument.
