  • Description

    The last decade saw the arrival of a new player in the creation/evolution debate–the intelligent design creationism (IDC) movement, whose strategy is to act as “the wedge” to overturn Darwinism and scientific naturalism. The discussions cover IDC as a political movement, IDC’s philosophical attack on evolution, the theological debate over the apparent conflict between evolution and the Bible, IDC’s scientific claims, and philosopher Alvin Plantinga’s critique of naturalism and evolution.
