Intelligent Design

This compelling and incisive book exposes the true nature of Intelligent Design as a modern-day cult masquerading as science. Tracing its roots from creationism to the courtroom drama of the Kitzmiller v. Dover case, the author unpacks the religious underpinnings, pseudoscientific claims, and political strategies that fuel the ID movement. With a critical eye, the author examines the Discovery Institute’s Wedge Strategy, the misuse of media to misinform the public, and the anthropocentric bias of ID proponents. The book also highlights the global spread of ID and the tireless efforts of ...

Why do men's testicles hang outside the body? Why does our appendix sometimes explode and kill us? And who does the Designer like better, anyway--us or squid? These and other questions are addressed in The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not. Dr. Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator.

Looked at objectively, beneath the superficial appearance of design, the human body, with its inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and vestigial features, is best explained through the lens of evolution. Far from reflecting intelligent design, our anatomy and physiology reveal a history of incremental changes shaped by natural selection and constrained by pre-existing structures. These imperfections underscore the reality of evolution as a tinkering process, producing functional but far-from-perfect outcomes. In this light, the human body stands as a powerful testament to our evolutionary ...

Is it science? Is it religion? What exactly is the Design Revolution? This book answers the toughest questions about Intelligent Design. As the Intelligent Design movement has gained momentum over recent years, questions have naturally arisen to challenge its provocative claims. With clarity and concision, William Dembski responds to the most vexing questions and objections raised by experts and non-experts.

The book explains why there is no conflict whatsoever between the creation passages of the Bible and evidence that life developed over a span of more than five hundred million years

ID is not a problem for science; rather science is a problem for ID. This book shows why. It exposes the fallacy of Intelligent Design by showing that, when examined in detail, biological systems are anything but intelligently designed. They show no signs of a plan and are quite ludicrously complex for whatever can be described as a purpose. The Intelligent Design movement relies on almost total ignorance of biological science and seemingly limitless credulity in its target marks. Its only real appeal appears to be to those who find science too difficult or too much trouble to learn yet ...

Do you ever wonder about the purpose and design of the universe? Have you ever pondered the reason behind everything in existence? Look no further than "Teleology: The Study of Purpose and Design" by Dr. Philip and Dr. Cherian, a thought-provoking new Kindle book that explores the concept of teleology and its significance in various fields. In this fascinating book, Dr. Philip and Dr. Cherian delve into the study of teleology, which examines the purpose and design of nature. They take a multidisciplinary approach, exploring teleology in fields such as biology, physics, philosophy, and even ...

The Anthropic Simulation Hypothesis In this concise and thought-provoking thesis, Zito introduces a bold new thought experiment exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, simulated realities, and intelligent design. The hypothesis asks: if humans create advanced, sentient AI civilizations within simulations, and those civilizations develop religious beliefs, would this provide not only empirical evidence of intelligent design within their reality—but also reinforce the plausibility of intelligent design in our own? By examining scenarios where these simulated beings create ...

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Throughout his distinguished and unconventional career, engineer-turned-molecular-biologist Douglas Axe has been asking the questions that much of the scientific community would rather silence. Now, he presents his conclusions in this brave and pioneering book. Axe argues that the key to understanding our origin is the "design intuition" - the innate belief held by all humans that tasks we would need knowledge to accomplish can be accomplished only by someone who has that knowledge.

Evolutionary arms races are the basis for co-evolutionary cooperation and ecosystems and are fundamental to biology and biodiversity, yet they cannot logically be described as intelligently designed because competing against yourself in an arms race is not an act of intelligence nor of design. Arms races account for the needless complexity and prolific waste seen in nature when you look beneath the superficial resemblamce of design and are responsible for the major advances in evolution, from the evolution of eukaryote cells, the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of coral reefs, ...

Creationism, especially in its pseudoscience manifestation, Intelligent Design, has failed to make any significant progress in its campaign to be adopted by mainstream biomedical scientists. Instead, it is almost universally condemned and rejected by scientific bodies througout the developed world. It makes no predictions and cannot be tested therefore it is usless as a science and has still not generated a single peer-reviewed paper in any mainstream science journal.. The only signifcant success of the Discovery Institutes 'Wedge' Strategy, launched in 1991 and now hopelessly behind ...

Columnist and publisher Michael Shermer, once an evangelical Christian and a creationist, argues that Intelligent Design proponents invoke a combination of ad science, political antipathy, and flawed theology in their new brand of creationism. He refutes their pseudoscientific arguments and then demonstrates why conservatives and people of faith can and should embrace evolution. Why Darwin Matters is an incisive examination of what is at stake in the debate over evolution.

Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.
