Debating Design

Summary by Tom Magnuson

William Dembski, Michael Ruse, and other prominent philosophers bring a balanced overview of the debate concerning biological origins--a controversy since Darwin published The Origin of Species. The source of controversy has been "design." Is the appearance of design in organisms (as exhibited in their functional complexity) the result of purely natural forces acting without prevision or teleology? Or, does the appearance of design signify genuine prevision and teleology, and, if so, is that design empirically detectable and thus open to scientific inquiry?
