Nature, Design, and Science: The Status of Design in Natural Science

More about the book

The book explores the concept of supernatural design within the context of scientific legitimacy, addressing the lack of foundational work on defining design and its assessment criteria. It delves into the resurgence of discussions around intelligent supernatural design, particularly in relation to anthropic principles and biological complexity. By developing a clear definition of design and articulating a criterion for scientific legitimacy, the author argues that intelligent supernatural design can, in certain instances, fulfill the necessary standards to be considered scientifically valid.
