Intelligent Design (2002): The Bridge Between Science Theology

4.40 out of 5 stars

Description

Christianity Today's Book of the Year, this groundbreaking work delves into the multifaceted Intelligent Design movement, which embodies three distinct dimensions: a rigorous scientific inquiry into intelligent causation, an intellectual challenge to naturalistic evolutionary theories, and a profound understanding of divine action in the universe. Despite its rapid growth and widespread grassroots support, the movement faces skepticism from both scientists and theologians. Critics argue that Intelligent Design is merely a veiled form of creationism, while others contend that it misconstrues divine action. William Dembski tackles these concerns head-on, masterfully demonstrating that Intelligent Design serves as a vital bridge between science and theology. Through a series of innovative and compelling chapters, Dembski reexamines the discernment of divine action in nature, reevaluates the significance of miracles, and critiques the limitations of British natural theology. By challenging the dominance of naturalism and reintegrating design into scientific inquiry, Dembski presents Intelligent Design as a robust theory of information. As Phillip Johnson notes, Dembski is "one of the most important design theorists sparking a scientific revolution by legitimizing intelligent design in science." This pivotal work synthesizes Dembski's thought-provoking ideas, cementing his position as a leading figure in the Intelligent Design movement.
