Doubting Darwin?

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. [Språk: Engelska] Häftad
