Review: "Intelligent Design theory (ID) proposes an alternative to accepted accounts of evolutionary theory: that life is so complex, and that the universe is so fine-tuned for the appearance of life, that the only plausible explanation is the existence of an intelligent designer. For many ID theorists, the designer is taken to be the god of Christianity." "Niall Shanks has written the first accessible introduction to, and critique of, this controversial new intellectual movement."--Jacket
