It's easy to be a critic. You don't even have to buy the book. Just browse the TOC and spit out your rhetoric. You can go on for 10,000 words and make people think you actually held the book in your hand.

I bought it, I read it. I liked it. It was the easiest book I have found on Intelligent Design. I generally have a hard time reading Dembski. But this book was an easy read. And it addressed every aspect of ID that I have come across.

I was a little put-off by the first few pages that made the book sound like a creationist work because it talked about how naturalism/atheism is a dominating ideology (theology) in the media and in the education system that causes young people to lean towards atheism -- which is no doubt true. But after those first few pages it was all ID.

I liked the discussion of why critics continually call ID "creationism" even though they must know the difference, or else they have never actually read anything about ID. That reason being the presumption of materialism/naturalism -- if a conclusion suggests a possible non-materialist cause then it must be thrown out according to their "methodology." So when someone says "design" then these folks scream "creationism" (although it seems to me that if you insist on materialism, then you could use that "design" evidence to justify your belief that life on earth was created by space aliens, as we saw Francis Crick do many years ago, and also saw Dawkins admit in "Expelled"). Creationism, of course, is actually an evangelical biblical literalist belief system that says the bible is first and if science doesn't fit it, then science is wrong. This book is not that.

In my opinion this is the best ID book that I have seen for regular folk. Its a great book. Love it. Highly recommend it.
