Zusammenfassung:By design or by chance? -- The best arguments for chance -- The best arguments for design -- Why design or chance matters so much -- Who was Darwin? : what did He really say? -- Who loved Darwin? : who hated Him? -- The scopes trial : what really happened? -- How modern evolutionists have evolved away from Darwin -- Darwin's quarreling heirs : Dawkins vs. Gould -- Creationism : morphing into a modern movement -- Can a scientist be a creationist? -- Why has creationism been growing? -- Intelligent design : why so controversial? -- Is ID good science? : is it science at all? -- Is ID good theology? : is it theology at all? -- The future of design
Writing in an accessible journalistic style, Denyse O'Leary guides the reader on a fascinating journey through the world of Intelligent Design and Darwinian evolution. The author approached this subject at the beginning ''with no clear convictions about it, nor any desire to enter a controversy.'' What emerged on these pages is a well-organized and clear introduction to the basic question of life's origins: What is life, and how did it come about? Did the universe arise by chance, or was it designed? By Design or by Chance is a fresh intellectual breeze that clears away much of the smog and dust obscuring core issues surrounding the origin of life. From cosmology to theology, from the philosophy of science to the text of Genesis, O'Leary addresses all with refreshing clarity.
