Synopsis

Noted biologist and philosopher Sahotra Sarkar exposes the frauds and fallacies of Intelligent Design Theory, and its claim to be 'good science'.

  • A scientific and philosophical exploration of the debate between evolutionary theory and Intelligent Design in the classroom
  • Puts the debate into its scientific and historical context
  • Looks at a variety of topics, including the relation between Darwinism and modern evolutionary theory, the use of computer science and information theory by the creationists, and the idea of metaphysical naturalism
  • Rejects Intelligent Design's claim to legitimacy, showing clearly how and why it is an unsuitable alternative to evolutionary biology in the classroom
  • A thought-provoking book for those seeking to understand an intellectual debate that is shaping our education policies
  • Forms part of the provocative and timely Blackwell Public Philosophy series
