Unintelligent Design

Physicist Mark Perakh critically reviews recent trends toward harmonising religion and science. From intelligent design theories to arguments allegedly proving the compatibility of biblical stories with scientific data and 'Bible codes' containing secret messages, Perakh shows that, however sophisticated in appearance, all such approaches are little more than tailoring evidence to fit the desired theory. For everyone interested in separating scientific facts from the hype of trendy theories about science, this book is must reading.
