Why Intelligent Design Fails

A terrific book that explores, fairly and openly, whether proponents of ID have any scientifically valid gadgets in their toolbox at all...accessibly written throughout and an invaluable aid to teachers and scientists.

- Kevin Padian (Professor and Curator, University of California, Berkeley, and President, Nation) Highly recommended. (Choice) Intelligent-design theory makes extravagant claims, but refuses to come up with even a small fraction of the evidence needed to sustain them. Why Intelligent Design Fails brings together clear and devastating arguments by true scientists, which will convince perceptive and fair-minded readers that 'intelligent design' belongs to the history of propaganda, not to the achievements of science. - Norman Levitt (author of Prometheus Bedeviled: Science and the Contradictions of Contemporary C) A terrific book that explores, fairly and openly, whether proponents of ID have any scientifically valid gadgets in their toolbox at all . . . Accessibly written throughout and an invaluable aid to teachers and scientists. - Kevin Padian (professor and curator, University of California, Berkeley, and president, Nation) This book is a readable and devastating scientific analysis of intelligent design creationism. . . . Unlike ID's proponents, these authors have done the real science that deflates the claims of intelligent design. Their work deserves the respect of everyone with a say in what is taught in public school science classes. - Barbara Forrest (co-author of Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design) Not only is the book largely successful, but several articles provide interesting updates of evolution science for nonprofessionals, quite apart from debate. (The Quarterly Review of Biology) A terrific book that explores, fairly and openly, whether proponents of ID have any scientifically valid gadgets in their toolbox at all...accessibly written throughout and an invaluable aid to teachers and scientists. - Kevin Padian (Professor and Curator, University of California, Berkeley, and President, Nation)
