Description:"When future intellectual historians list the books that toppled Darwin's theory, The Design of Life will be at the top." - Michael J. Behe, Ph.D., Prof. of Biochemistry, Lehigh University"I would enthusiastically adopt The Design of Life as a required text in courses in evolution and the origin of life and in graduate seminars on information theory and molecular biology, and use it as a supplement in introductory biology classes... I salute Dembski and Wells for a most worthy addition to the already powerful case that intelligent design deserves a seat at the academic table in university biology courses and with all scientists working to unlock the mystery of life's origin." - Dean H. Kenyon, Ph.D in Biophysics, Emeritus Professor of Biology, San Francisco State University"Gives all interested parties in the debate over biological origins the hard scientific evidence they need to assess the true state of Darwin's theory and of the theory of intelligent design. But it does much more: it carefully fosters the attitude of open inquiry that science needs not only to thrive but also to avoid becoming the plaything of special interests." - William S. Harris, Research Professor, Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota"Essential reading for students at all levels - even those at the professorial level! There is something here for everyone... This book sets a new benchmark - a statement of our contemporary understanding biological origins - and as such one that Darwinian theorists will have to take seriously and respond to in an equally good book if they are to maintain any academic credibility (i.e. beyond the micro-evolution level)." - Christopher D. Beling, Associate Professsor of Physics, University of Hong Kong."Systematically reviews past and present theories of evolution and reveals their utter inadequacy to explain the origin of the complex and intricate mechanisms that comprise living systems... The authors outline a practical approach that allows intelligent causation to enter the equation without being a science stopper... Inclusion of intelligent causation in the scientific equation is not novel and has not impeded the practice of science in the past, e.g. Newton and Kepler, in an age when science was not constrained by a philosophical materialism, and by many current scientists who have remained open to following the evidence where it leads. This is an important work that should be read by all students and practitioners of science."- Donald L. Ewert, Ph.D in Microbiology (University of Georgia)"The illusion of purpose is so powerful," writes Richard Dawkins, "that biologists themselves use the assumption of good design as a working tool." As an ardent proponent of Darwinian evolution, Dawkins imagines that all design in biology is merely an illusion. By contrast, this book shows that biologists use the assumption of design with success precisely because design in biology is not an illusion but real. This is the book that the promoters of unintelligent evolution do NOT want you to read.In this book, William Dembski and Jonathan Wells present a compelling scientific case for the intelligent design of biological systems. Their laser-like analysis, clear explanations, and brilliant analogies will captivate every reader, whether trained scientist or curious layperson. Intelligent design (ID), as the study of patterns in nature best explained by intelligence, is already accepted in many special sciences. Archeology, forensics, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) all belong to ID in this broad sense. These sciences, however, are uncontroversial because any intelligence there could be an "evolved" intelligence. In biology, by contrast, intelligent design is highly controversial because any intelligence there would be an "unevolved" intelligence - it would not be the product of purely material evolutionary processes. Thus, to convinced materialists like Richard Dawkins, who dogmatically accept Darwinian orthodoxy, this book comes as a shot across the bow. Scientists who support the intelligent design of biological systems are routinely held up to ridicule, stripped of their status, denied tenure, and driven from their posts. Why? They do not agree that the universe, life, and the human mind are the accidental outworking of purely material forces. And why don't they agree? Because the evidence of science shows otherwise. This book presents that evidence clearly and cogently. Written for the general reader, it will quickly enter the national conversation. In The Design of Life, Dembski and Wells make the most powerful and comprehensive case to date for the intelligent design of life. This is the book that the promoters of unintelligent evolution do NOT want you to read.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
