Reviews'A rich mine of often-overlooked information, personal interpretations of the history of science that are provocative and sometimes astonishing, and a sceptical sociologist's view of the grand narrative that science, and especially the neo-Darwinian synthesis, is apt to claim for itself.'

SynopsisIntelligent Design Theory (IDT) was responsible for the 17th century's Scientific Revolution. Evolution, derives from ancient, even pagan, ideas about our rootedness in nature and the transience of various life forms. What happened to reverse these two movements' fortunes? This work provides an understanding of this debate., If you think Intelligent Design Theory (IDT) is merely the respectable face of Christian fundamentalism, and Evolution the only sensible scientific world-view, think again...IDT has driven science for 500 years. It was responsible for the 17th century's Scientific Revolution and helped build modern histories of physics, mathematics, genetics and social science. IDT's proponents take literally the Biblical idea that humans have been created in God's image. This confident, even arrogant, view of humanity enabled the West to triumph in the modern era. Evolution, on the other hand, derives from more ancient, even pagan, ideas about our rootedness in nature and the transience of all life forms. It has been always more popular outside the West, and until Darwin few evolutionists were scientists. What happened to reverse these two movements' fortunes? Steve Fuller's brilliant revisionist history is essential reading for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of science's most vociferous debate., Iconoclastic and provocative as ever, Steve Fuller makes us think again about Intelligent Design and Evolution. If you think Intelligent Design Theory (IDT) is merely the respectable face of Christian fundamentalism, and Evolution the only sensible scientific world-view, think again. Historically, the situation is almost exactly reversed. IDT has driven science for 500 years. It was responsible for the 17th century's Scientific Revolution and has helped build modern histories of physics, mathematics, genetics and social science. IDT's proponents have upheld, often secretly, radical views of Christianity, taking literally the Biblical idea that humans have been created in God s image. This confident, even arrogant, view of humanity enabled the West to triumph in the modern era. Steve Fuller's brilliant revisionist history is essential reading for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of science s most vociferous debate, Iconoclastic and provocative as ever, Steve Fuller makes us think again about intelligent design and evolution.
