Noted biologist and philosopher Sahotra Sarkar exposes the frauds and fallacies of Intelligent Design Theory, and its claim to be 'good science'. This is a scientific and philosophical exploration of the debate between evolutionary theory and Intelligent Design in the classroom. The book 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; and, rejects Intelligent Design's claim to legitimacy, showing clearly how and why it is an unsuitable alternative to evolutionary biology in the classroom. This is a thought-provoking book for those seeking to understand an intellectual debate that is shaping our education policies. It forms part of the provocative and timely "Blackwell Public Philosophy" series.
