Intelligent design 101 : leading experts explain the key issues / H. Wayne House, general editor.

If there is ever to be a rational discussion of all legitimate theoretical options for the beginning of life, assumptions, assertions, and even accusations need to be replaced with competent analysis and clearly defined terminology. This is what Intelligent Design 101 provides. Eight scholars and researchers come together to address the origins of life and the universe in light of increasing scientific support for an intelligent designer as the source of existence. In a manner both straightforward and practical, they describe what intelligent design is and what it is not; the competent scientific basis upon which it is founded; its history and development; and the reasons for its ever-increasing credibility and role in science and education. - Back cover.
