On December 20, 2005 Federal Judge John E. Jones, a Republican jurist appointed by President George W. Bush rendered this decision:
"The proper application of both the endorsement and Lemon tests to the facts of this case makes it abundantly clear that the Board's ID Policy violates the Establishment Clause. In making this determination, we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that it is not, and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creation...more

EDITORIAL REVIEWS:
"I would enthusiastically adopt The Design of Life as a required text in courses in evolution and the origin of life and in graduate seminars on information theory and molecular biology, and use it as a supplement in introductory biology classes... I salute Dembski and Wells for a most worthy addition to the already powerful case that intelligent design deserves a seat at the academic table in university biology courses and with all scientists working to unlock the mystery of l...more

Delivers blows against the science of Darwinism in a respectable fashion. Were I more learned in molecular biology, I think I could've appreciated it even more.
I especially like the chapter on Human Origins, exposing the 98% "similarity" between humans and chimps. The final chapter on the Scopes trial was a good snapshot of Darwinism as it pertains to culture (for more on that see John West's Darwin Day in America.)

For anyone interested in up-to-date and well-written scientific arguments for intelligent design. This is a great book. I have read quite a bit of the ID literature, and I still learned a lot from this book. The chapter on specified complexity was exceptional.
